We always enjoy visiting Yport. We have overnighted here on at least four previous tours (T2, T7, T9 and T10) and one of the main reasons is the ‘Le Nautique’ restaurant. We always receive such a warm welcome there and the food is excellent. We stayed just the one night this time and didn’t get to see anything of the town other than Le Nautique and Flower Camping La Chenaie (which campsite seems to get better every visit). We’ll be back though.
We’re off to Bretagne next (Fougeres) and keen to get an early start. If you want to learn more about our earlier visits to Yport I would refer you to previous entries on this site but; having said that and to save you time, I have reproduced a few previous comments:-
“Nestled in between steep chalk cliffs on the Alabaster Coast, Yport was a tiny fishing village until beach holidays became fashionable in Europe in the late 19th century. It has since become a little a gem of a beach resort with a couple of very good restaurants and it’s own casino… The village is one of the smaller resorts in the region and contains a mix of tiny fishing houses and larger 19th century properties built at the time Yport was becoming established as a seaside resort and; it’s a fine place to while away a day or two…” – Tour 7
“One thing about Yport which stirs me every time I walk into the town is that almost breathtaking moment when, as you turn on to the beach from Rue Emmanuel Foy, you get hit by a rush of fresh salty sea air being channeled through the town by the chalk cliffs. Refreshing is an understatement; it’s almost energising” – Tour 7
“Yport is also a great place to eat. There aren’t many restaurants or cafes in the town but they are all okay and, if you like fish (especially mussels), Le Nautique is outstanding. They love dogs there and the patron chef went out of his way once again to personally find a table for us in our preferred space at the back of the restaurant and cleared a space for Nala and her wheels. He couldn’t have been more accommodating...” – Tour 9
Bretagne, here we come…
