Le Guilvinec sign

Le Guilvinec is a busy fishing port and market town.The market is held on a Tuesday and Sunday morning in the Summer on the town centre car park. When we arrived it was quite overcast and dull so we had to have a quick look round.The streets behind the car park and took a few photos.

Then it started to rain so it was back to the car for a coffee.The rain did not stop so we decided to move on up the coast and find some better weather.The part of the town we saw had plenty of shops and cafes and we will come back on a better day.In the afternoon the fishing boats land their catches on the dock which would have been worth seeing.
