We decided to spend a couple of days in this area so that we had more time to explore and it worked out well. The day we arrived there was a festival event in Duarnenez and we listened to music in the evening and had mussels, fresh grilled sardines and crepes from some of the stalls. The day had been hot and the sunset was beautiful, lighting up the yachts and buildings with a warm glow in the late evening light. Today we set out on a cliff top walk in the morning and the sky was overcast and quite cool in comparison with the previous day. In the afternoon we visited the port museum which has some excellent craft inside the main buildings and some old boats in the harbor that you can board and explore. The day brightened up as we walked back around the coast to our hotel across the river and we drank wine by the sea to accompany the fish soup and wood fired pizza. Tomorrow we head off around the coast to Crozon, about 60km away.

The tide goes in and out quite quickly and this morning we saw lots of people looking for shrimps and shellfish when we were coming back from our walk.
