A small bay , like lot of others in Brittany …

 

It’s high tide …

A very nice small village with its small little fishing boats …

Boats are in bays to avoid bad wind flows
 

A coast foot path , you can walk around the gulf about 60 miles on these nice scenic paths …

 

Morbihan gulf scenery is composed with boats and villages …

When it’s high tide , the scenery is marvellous…

 

Here it is a peninsula , Quite all the houses look directly on seaside …

 

This old farm was covered before with thatch…

 

In the village you can see granite characteristic old houses …

I hope you like the ride
