LOCQUIREC - 03-OCT & 04-OCT

This post covers our transition from Perros to Locquirec. This add-on to the basic Britany tour included some challenging climbs and uncharted roads not routinely road tested. We rose to the challenge and managed to arrive tired but exhilarated. The reward was a lovely seaside hotel with the best views and accommodations. Not many photos to distract us from the task at hand. 

Another church at the top of the hill.

Not bad for a small obscure hamlet. They built these to last.  

A ancient windmill that was probably decommissioned long ago. 

The challenging aspect of this ride was many up and over climbs and descents revealing impressive structures along he cliffs. 



Our reward was arriving to this majestic resort. 

Very old world.

With impressive façade (French for facade) facing the bay. 

The view from our balcony toward the bay at low tide. 

The nighttime view was more impressive. 

The eastern view delivered a beautiful sunrise.

Could not resist capturing the moment.

Including the turret and waving flag cast against the sunrise. 

By far my most favorite choice - moules and frites. Going to miss them as much as the baguettes and pastries. 

The offshore rock formations appear and disappear with the changing tides. Some are only accessible when the low tides cooperate.

The beach along the bay.

A blank wall decorated to look like a scene from years ago.

Kim explored the turret in daylight. 

We walked past these formations but decided that rock scrambling was not a good idea since we still had our return bike ride ahead.  

Seaside vistas are magical any time of the day. 

The houses overlooking the cliffs were magnificent to look at but would not want to pay for the utilities and maintenance. Renting beats owning. 

The tide prevented us from exploring this temporary island. Still worth seeing from afar.
