En pärla i Bretagne - Camaret-Sur-Mer i Frankrike

You'll also find a tower that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Above all, you can enjoy magical views of the beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. Come to Camaret-Sur-Mer in France!

West coast of France

Wow! We don't know what to say. Can it be this beautiful? Today we have stopped in different places with the campervan, gone out and looked and photographed, and gasped for breath. This is one of the most beautiful places we have visited. Ever. We would like to write a lot of wise things, but it feels like pictures talk better right now. Like Swedish has no words for this landscape.

We started in the small fishing village of Camaret-sur-Mer, where you can eat all kinds of seafood and drink coffee in small cafés. It's also home to the Tour Vauban (Golden Tower), part of a collection of fortifications listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Camaret-sur-Mer in France

We parked our motorhome just on the edge of the fishing village because we arrived late in the evening. When we wake up and go down to this small picturesque village with old ships still in the harbour, the French sitting in cafes with checkered tablecloths, well then it feels like a good day. Only 3000 people live here and it feels genuine.

Dramatic nature

As the village is on the far side of the Brittany coast, the dramatic scenery is also just ten minutes from the small fishing harbour. There is also a large campsite for motorhomes, caravans and lots of cottages. The campsite is called Lannic and was not open when we were there.

Yesterday we were in Camaret-Sur-Mer. Today we have moved on to the next cape in the world. Brittany and stands in the village of Plogoff. It is almost as beautiful here. Maybe you get used to it if you live here? Well, not then! This is a place where you could settle down when you get older, if not, I want to visit this place once more in my life. Have you been to the French west coast? What is your experience?

Lena, the coast is amazingly beautiful! Especially here in the far west!

Frankie & Co, we can only agree! And of course we're happy to share some photos!
🙂

Lars, the sandy beaches here are very beautiful! When the tide comes in they almost disappear, and when it goes out they come out.

Åsa, it's so nice here!!!

BP, yesterday we were incredibly lucky with the weather! It was sunny almost all day. Otherwise we have a lot of both wind and rain ...

Brittany is so beautiful! Spent several summers here in my youth on various French courses. The landscape really appeals to me! Lovely pictures! And I guess even the fine shellfish are keeping you company .

Ditte, that's fantastic! Are you speaking French now? Of course there will be fish and seafood. Especially mussels, but we've also had oysters and prawns.

Oh, lovely pictures, especially the one with the lone person holding something red! Magical! We went that way 2 years ago, unfortunately the whole trip rained away, so we accelerated hard towards Spain!

Gunilla and Bosse, glad you like the pictures! Too bad you had so much rain. We have also had rain, but also nice moments. This day in Camaret sur Mere it was glorious! But now we are getting a bit tired of the cold...
