Camping Mer et Yourtes

Seafood specialities aplenty are in this site’s local area: the coastal commune of Roscoff – famed for its pretty timber-framed buildings and boat-filled harbour – has streets filled to the gills with good restaurants serving locally caught fish and other regional produce. Head to Roscoff's port for a swift boat trip out to the Île de Batz; most visitors make a beeline for its exotic garden, on the south east of the island, as it’s famed for housing more than 2,000 plant species from five of the world’s seven continents. Aside from this, other of the island’s many draws include lots of beaches, leisurely coastal walks and smashing views from the top of its 19th-century lighthouse. If you’re in the market for a preen and a pamper, several thalassotherapy centres are within a short drive, a good one being over in Roscoff with sea-view massage suites for max relaxation factor. Otherwise, drive over to Saint-Pol-de-Léon (five minutes) or Morlaix (15 minutes) to stroll around narrow streets, sample more local gastronomy and take in a few more urbanised sights.
