Le Pouldu

Le Pouldu has two areas: Le Pouldu and Pouldu Harbour, and you make your choice at this roundabout .

This was a late evening walk. Walking back I was glad I had my trusty Maglite torch. There was enough light for us to walk, but I don’t think drivers here expect to see walkers after dark. Most were courteous, and frequently flashed a “thanks” for the warning.

Not all the megalithic standing stones are in Carnac! This is the focal point of the roundabout.

The signposts behind point to Le Pouldu and Pouldu Harbour.

Investment Opportunity? This old hotel on the roundabout is big, and available.

The Hotel Pouldu looks very similar to this, and is shown (taken in daylight!) on our Pouldu Harbour page.

From the roundabout, the road to the left of the hotel goes up to Clohars-Carnoet (past the Shopi), the road to the right goes up to the crossroads past Quinquis.

Fortunately the Hotel Pouldu is a thriving business and has an excellent restaurant. Fish is their speciality, and their Gambas flambe in calvados renowned.

There is a one-way system round Le Pouldu. On the right you will find a small creperie, which is very good, but possibly not up to St. Maurice standards! Or prices.

You will find a tourist information centre on the front by the cliffs.

Le Pouldu has no shortage of beaches and coves!

And I’m told they’re never that crowded even in the summer.

It’s worth noting that all these photos were taken either late April early May or September. OK , you cannot guarantee good weather every day, but it is still a very pleasant time of year.

And it’s quiet! Look at the beaches.

And it’s cheaper - almost a third of the cost of a holiday during August.

Kermaria Creperie, Was it a mistake?

Kermaria is a blue fronted creperie near the main road crossroads. We thought it was on the recommended” list, and dined there.

The food was good and the service friendly. He didn’t even give up on my French!

However, 2 courses took 3 hours! We later heard stories of family where some were finishing their desserts as others started their main course.

It’s up to you ...... but the food really was good.

The recommendation had actually been for what looks like a “transport cafe” next to Kemaria. It is not open in the evenings, but we were told that the lunches are excellent.

We’ll report back on it when we can manage a lunch!

Despite the rain and wind on some days, we can honestly say there was not a day of our holidays that was wasted. OK, a couple of times we had to change our plans and do something else, but so what?

A Le Pouldu cliff walk can be very interesting. Left to right, Fort Clohars, lizard sunning itself (you usually hear them going into hiding as you approach) and a beautiful bloom.

Chlorella can remove alcohol from the liver. A Japanese study showed that taking
4-6gm of chlorella before consuming alcohol can prevent a hangover 96% of the time!
Spirulina has been similarly researched.
Note: I’m only suggesting they’re good for the liver!
