Anyone got any practical experience of coast east of Brittany?
Is it worth lingering to enjoy before striking south en-route to biarritz and beyond (Algarve)!! Late March/early April.
 
I,m guessing you mean west after arriving Roscof we can easily take a couple of weeks to reach Biaritz. But April might be a bit early you,ll have to go on what the weather is like when you arrive You could do it on return journey

We spend several weeks every year in Brittany as we always sail Ply to Ros the Granit Rose coast an Ile de Grande east of Roscof is beautiful and when we arrive if wx is good we are happy to stay but March / April is a little early most years

I do have some experience of the coast east of Roscoff, but more by yacht than motorhome. As Witzend says, the Côte de Granit Rose is definitely worth exploring; I particularly liked Ploumanac'h, but believe that there were (and probably still are) some restrictions on motorhome parking. Tréguier and the river Trieux (Pontrieux, Lézardrieux...) are also worth exploring. However (as Witzend also said), the weather may not be optimal at the time you are likely to be there. If the weather is better down there, you might consider south Brittany, (Concarneau, the many small coastal aires in the commune of Névez, and the area around the Golfe du Morbihan, including the alignements at Carnac). Wild Camping has some excellent POIs in Brittany, particularly coastal and adjacent to inland waterways.

Ta, yes from our experience of France b4 may we’ll play it by ear weather wise.
South Brittany recs are useful, we’ll try and factor them in.
