Brittany - France

[injury_ian]

Hi Chaps

I know France is discussed to death in here, However, If anyone has a personal reccomendation of a place to stay I'd be most grateful!

Looking at self catering cottage / gite etc.

I know of the site 'bikestay' looking for a personal reccomendation tho.

BTW, areas of Brittany / Normandy. ( I went there as a kid, have forgotten everything about it!)

Thanks in advance

When are you planning on going?

I went last year and stayed very close to Perros Guirec.....we rented this little place pictured below which consisted of 2 double bedrooms and 1 bedroom with 3 single beds.

Lovely open plan downstairs with good kitchen and lounge area. It also had a garage which was a bonus.

Awsome Mr G,

Just the sort of thing i was looking for...
May be a bit big for just two of us tho! Good to see some pictures of what this part of France is like.

I'm looking to go late in May, the half term week.

im going on the 4th May so I will have a look for you :D and let you know when I get back.

Look for a blue and black SV, thats one of each.

What are you doing, camping / gite / B&B?

At the moment I think I'm looking for a central location that i can spider out from. Mind you I only know one landmark, St mont Micheal and thats about it!

Ferries are a pain, is there any way of booking a ticket for 2x bikes 2xriders? As it is I am having to buy them as seperate journeys. :(

[GazandKatie]

We are going for ten days. A few days riding eather side with no real plan then 5 nights in a Key Camp site in Saint Hillaire de Reiz. We are renting a tent that is ready set up with a proper bed and has a cooker and fridge etc. The ferry price was in with the deal which made it very cheap. Then we have a few days to bimble back.

We will be on a black SV650s. You will know its us as we will be pulling a wheely with all the luggage Katie wants to pack!

Its been a while, but online you can't book 2 together,for some odd reason(it was explained ont phone but its been 2 yrs) its a PITA. I ended up ringing up and sorting it out over the phone. I had managed to book one of us online, so it made it easier for them to book the second person, as I had the booking number for the first.

NO. Each vehicle needs to be booked on. The ticket is for a vehicle and it's passengers / driver. So each bike needs it's own ticket. Makes sense when you come to check in.

I've booked two people and two bikes over the phone before, a lot easier, especially as we were sharing a cabin (oooerrrr...)
