Morlaix - Finistère
|
Morlaix is instantly recognisable by the towering, 19th century
viaduct that spans the valley where the town lies. An estuary port,
Morlaix prospered from piracy - or privateering, depending on whose
side you were on – and was more notorious than St Malo.
The tourist office produces a useful leaflet (about 5FF) with details
of various walking tours in the town to appreciate the most interesting
streets. La Maison de la Duchesse Anne is the highpoint in Rue du
Mur – a superb example of a 15th century maison à lanternes.

Beer drinkers can quench their thirsts at the Brasserie des Deux Rivières
where they make Coreff – a highly fermented bitter, very different
to the usual French lager-style brew. Open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays
in summer - a dégustation follows.
The Festival les Arts dans la Rue takes place every Wednesday evening
in the town centre from mid-July to mid-August with music, dancing and
local gastronomy on the menu.
