"Think I read somewhere that Quiberon Peninsular can be busy and windy!"

Correct on both counts - we have been there a couple of times (in low season) and it was fairly busy- got the impression it would be absolutely mobbed in high season.

Was fairly windy too as most parts are very exposed although there are some more sheltered parts which were Ok.

Having said all that it's a beautiful part of the country and well worth a visit - lots of lovely places to visit nearby - Auray has a brilliant market on Mondays and Vannes is well worth a visit.

We were in South Brittany in August a couple of years ago and it took us an hour to get off the Quiberon peninsular on the day we went there. I have to say it was worth it though cos the beach was spectacular (so lovely a photographer was taking photos of a couple of models in full bridal gear for a magazine shoot!). Yes it was windy but we made the most of that by getting the kites out. If you try to avoid the roads at peak times then I'm sure you'll love it.
