Morlaix
Morlaix is on the northern coast of Brittany, south of Roscoff.
Morlaix has an unmissable viaduct, built in the local pink granite, that crosses the valley in which the town lies, and built in the 19th century.
The centre of Morlaix is attractive, with some very nice medieval streets and houses, many half-timbered, to explore.
The Jacobin convent, where Mary Queen of Scots passed the night in 1548, now houses a passably interesting town museum, although if time is limited the Maison de la Reine Anne is probably more interesting, with some lovely carvings and a fine staircase to admire.
In the bay off Morlaix is an interesting chateau (now a sailing school) - the chateau du Taureau - built in the 16th century to keep the English at bay. Usually there are plenty of expensive yachts to admire as well.
After visiting the town take a trip out to the little villages at St Thegonnec, Lampaul-Guimiliau and La Roche, where the churches each have their own distinctive and 'interesting' carvings of various dramatic scenes from the bible and history, well worth the detour.
