GETTING TO THE MORBIHAN

For a Morbihan charter, driving to La Trinité is by far the best option. You can heave all your boating gear into the car and come home loaded with wine, still excellent value despite the state of the pound. We crossed by Brittany Ferries from Plymouth to Roscoff, but the Portsmouth to St Malo ferry gives an even shorter drive across the neck of Brittany – about two hours 20 minutes.
