Guerledan Lake at Mur-de-Bretagne - Brittany.
Or Lac de Gueledan (Same place but in French)
That French sure is tricky.
We just returned from France after a not-so-gruelling two week stint in the heart of Brittany. Many things were done and many things seen but one of the best was this large man-made lake - the biggest, allegedly, in Europe.
Humorously, it's owned by EDF, the electricity supplier. They also supply my electricity, so this computer is being powered partly by the lake I am writing about. Perhaps 'humorously' was either wishful thinking or exaggeration. Or just a lie.
The lake is a big long affair and has the look of a a drowned valley, which it is. You always get suspicious when you see leafless trees sticking out of the lake ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Mur de Bretagne
Advantages: A super place to stay. Disadvantages: Not well known enough.
Situated centrally between Loudeac, Rostrenen and Pontivy, Mur deBretagne, (or "Wall of Brittany), is one of those places that doesn't get the publicity it merits. Why ? There are so many resort towns on the map in this part of the world that people somehow get side-tracked, end up in expensive accommodation that promises the world, but that are not nearly as well situated as this little village is, nor offer the same accessibility to places that suit all the family.

In the main square, for example, there are restaurants that cater ...

Advantages: Clean and reliable Disadvantages: Some cabins are getting "tired"
driving around France or Spain.
The night crossing to St Malo takes about 10 hours (usually on the Bretagne) and the day crossing from Caen takes about 6 hours (usually on the Normandie).
Going Home
On returning to port we have always found it very easy to find the ferry dock and the process is much the same. We have found that the french security like to check our caravan as I have heard of incidences where people have stowed away in caravans that have been broken into whilst waiting to load on the boat, especially at night.
Overall we have always been very happy with the efficiency of Brittany Ferries. Once I had a cabin that smelt awful and they immediately changed me to another one. Newer boats would be an advantage but I don't think that will happen soon! The staff are always pleasant and speak excellent English even ...
