At the end of our last buying trip to France we treated ourselves to a short holiday in Morlaix, a really pretty Medieval town not far from the Roscoff ferry port. After the frantic pace of antiques buying, haggling and lifting large furniture, this small town offered a lovely restful bay in which to wind down and relax before returning to the UK.
Morlaix has a stunning old quarter with cobbled streets and timber framed houses. In the Summer months this area is buzzing with outdoor eateries and live music.
Morlaix is best known for its huge viaduct which stands astride the town, dominating the horizon. Artfully lit up at dusk, it makes for a fabulous focal point both day and night.
