We have spent the last 3 days in a spot called La Torche. It’s billed as Brittany’s premier surf spot and the home of Breton surfing. It’s easy to see why as the area is open to lots of swell directions (there always seems to be waves). The spot has one long headland which has so many war bunkers it’s like being on the set of Saving Private Ryan. The waves were much bigger here and we had some good fun surfs. It’s a busy area plenty of French and Germans with a sprinkling of Brits. It’s great to watch the French surf, they seem to read the waves so well and can generate so much speed. It’s rained and I mean rained! In fact it’s hammered it down for most of the time as it can do so often in France. Despite this we have been having a great time a little free camping and camp site camping again. There’s even been a German film crew filming on the beach – not sure what they are filming, looks like a soap to me. Maybe German Neighbours. Scattered along the headland are hundreds and hundreds of manmade little rock towers. They looked very impressive. We even had a go ourselves.
