Just look at a couple of photos of Morlaix in France to immediately understand that it is a city to visit, especially for those who love old medieval houses. But not only that, it is also a great base for exploring Brittany and the coast overlooking the English Channel and the Atlantic.
The thing you will notice right away is the incredible viaduct that dominates the city, it was built in 1861. The nice thing is that you can go up (at least up to the first level) and walk over it admiring the view, admission is also free.
There are also some of the old wooden houses that can be visited. One of the best known is the Maison dite de la Duchesse Anne which dates back to the 1400s and is a real beauty built in the style of the area. La Maison a Pondalez is another beautiful house from the 1400s, recently renovated that houses the city museum.
The beauty of Morlaix is also to wander aimlessly through its medieval streets and discover it in this way. You will also find a lively market every Saturday and a harbor which also hosts several yachts.
You will have no problem finding food, go around the Rue Ange de Guernisac to find excellent restaurants, if your wallet is low on funds you can always live on cider and galettes, Breton crepes made of buckwheat and also suitable for those who do not tolerate gluten.
If you have time ten km from Morlaix you can find the Cairn de Barnenez, a huge cemetery from Neolithic times, the largest in Europe
