Miscellaneous information and things to do
When you arrive at the house, don’t forget that the
double lock on the back door has been put on the
wrong way around. Once inside, there is a double
light switch on the right of the door. Unfortunately,
one of the switches, which work the light over the
table has broken. This light can be switched on at
the double switch in the lounge just by the
archway.
the supermarket. It’s called lait frais entier. (fresh
milk complete).The village boulangerie sells only
semi-skimmed.
Rubbish is taken to the poo-belle just up the road.
Black sacks for ordinary rubbish in the container
and yellow sacks for recyclables in the wire basket.
You will find a supply of sacks under the sink
Sorry about that, but it only happened on our last
visit. I did buy a replacement switch unit which is
on top of the fridge freezer, but it looks too small
to me. I’m waiting for our builder friends to visit
next to fit it. I’m no good at electrics.
The dehumidifier in the lounge is on all the time,
but feel free to turn it off if it bothers you. Don’t
forget to put it back on before you leave.
The woodburner is capable of throwing out 14kw
of heat. It also heats upstairs through a vent in the
second bedroom wall, so keep the doors open.
We have left you kindling sticks, firelighters, eco
logs and a bag of small logs to start you off. Get a
nice fire going before putting on larger logs which
you will find in the shed. The key to the shed will
be on the bunch Criquette will leave for you under
a flowerpot or mat at the front of the house. There
are electric radiators in the kitchen and bedrooms,
but they are not very powerful. There’s also a
heated towel rail in the bathroom. There is plenty
of tea and coffee, plus some tins in the cupboard
and stuff in the freezer. If you like pasteurised milk
as opposed to semi-skimmed. look for red tops in
Places to visit
Berrien is well placed for visiting numerous
interesting places during your stay. Quimper,
Finistere’s county town, is about an hour’s drive
and has tree-lined streets alongside a river,
beautiful medieval buildings and the magnificent
Cathedral of St Corentin.
Not far from here are seaside resorts like Benodet
and Fousenant, but the piece de resistance is the
walled city of Concarneau, one of Brittany’s major
fishing ports.
You will find beautiful beaches to the west and east
of Morlaix (Carantec and St Efflam, for example).
and the Pink Granite Coast with its impressive rock
formations is also easily accessible, as is the naval
port of Brest.
Closer to home, check out the awesome boulders
strewn around the forest at Huelgoat and admire
the beauty of its man-made lake. The main square
is tucked away behind the lake, but is well worth
finding. It is a hive of activity on a Thursday
morning, which is market day. Every town and
village worth the name has a market day. You will
find a list of them on the internet -
www.gitesandmore.co.uk/marketdays.htm The
market at Morlaix is one of the larger ones and is
held on a Saturday morning. Stalls can be found
around the Hotel de Ville in the centre and in the
car park on the other side of the road. All manner
of fish, meat, breads, vegetables and fruit are sold
here and business is brisk.
If you want to bring back some wine or cider, the
Wine Seller at the Roscoff port has an excellent
selection from smaller producers.
