The MeteoFrance and lachainemeteo websites have it looking good in Brittany from Saturday so you can relax and have a great time.

If you've booked somewhere it's best not to check the weather - what will be will be and you only make yourself unhappy thinking about the worst it can be.  Best way of all is not to book, and just head where the weather is best, be that an area of France, or Spain, or even Italy!

We came back from Nevez on Sunday and had about 4 bad days in total out of 14, when the sun shines its lovely and hot and even when it rained it wasn't that bad, I wore shorts and t shirts all holiday and only put my coat on for a downpoor.

We had a great time, our 2nd year on the trot, on the cloudy days we had we managed to keep our teenagers occupied, we went to the Maze just outside Nevez and we had a good laugh and that took up a few hours.  On the better days we hit the beach or pool and even went canoeing at Port Manach which is reasonably priced at 12 euros for a 1 seater and 16 euros for a 2 seater for an hour which is quite enough if your not very sporty !

We found the meat expensive in the supermarket 4 euros for just enought mince meat to make spag bolg for 4 (had to make extra pasta !!!)  Try the Lidl on the way to Concaneau which is much cheaper and I managed to get my favourite Zinfendal rose wine for 1.99 a bottle !!! We did also bring loads of French wine back  ha ha

Hope you have a great time

Hi we were in Carnac for two weeks and the weather was bad, I think we saw 4 days of sun in 14 days. It rained and was wet, grey and cold. We also found it very expensive, I have to say in 10 years of camping with the kids, I found this year very difficult. The weather was rubbish, it was expensive and if you only get two weeks holiday in the summer. I felt like selling all the camping equipment and going on package holidays, at least you see some sun and its a easy holiday.

Hi Vic.

         I agree with you, you need to go far South to guarantee getting the Sun, we were in the Southern Ardeche this year, which is the furthest North! I have ever camped for my main two weeks, as the crow flys some 100 miles inland from the Med, so pretty much the same weather as you get on on the coast, although noticebly cooler in the late evening and early morning sunrise, as it turned out we had wall to wall sunshine and temps upto +40Deg C, so I am happy to go back there again, a lot less expensive than the Cote d Azur, not to mention some 400miles saving on Autoroute tolls.
