In the event that it gets too hot for you even though there is a is a wind out sun shade on the terrace and parasols over the garden furniture on the lawn, at the bottom of the garden under the trees where it is a little cooler you will find a secret patio until the sun heads off to America for the night.
For anyone who who would like to come to Morlaix on foot but still like to do some guided, chauffeur driven sight seeing , that can also be arranged at an extra cost. Other wise there are single deck buses which go here and there that apparently cost nothing to buy and operate and are fueled by fresh air based on the charges that they ask. 1 Euro from Morlaix to Locquirec. Incroyable quoi!
This is a town at the head of an estuary with a confluence of two rivers running into it which evolved into a thriving inland port over the centuries which has over the last 20 years or so been painstakingly renovated at great expense of the taxpayers using local artisans with the appropriate techniques to do so. There are many architectural treasures to behold notwithstanding the incredible twin tier railroad viaduct and the maisons de Pendulez. The local modern shops are situated in these renovated buildings which is an interesting blend of old and new. You could easily spend three days exploring the town via it's network of venelles but as Morlaix is in a valley all the venelles are very steep. For those of you who are geomorphologically inclined you don't need to look far to figure out how the land was formed here millions of years ago and the forces of tangention and compression which acted on the earth's surface are very evident.
Ornithologists would find a wide variety of bird life here and there are several tropical gardens to visit. Due to the safety of the country roads here if cycling is your thing, this is where you need to be, especially on Sundays. If it's not your thing, remember to give cyclists a minimum of one metre space when passing them in your car. Fishing in the sea and estuaries is free but there are also lots of lakes but you may have to pay. Ask first! Good surf can be found on the right day according to the tide and wind.
In the high season there is always something going on in the streets be it a rock concert or a pair of jugglers. Just look at the lit up info panel at the main traffic lights at the side of the town hall as you sit waiting for the green light.
