If you\u2019re visiting Brittany this summer, you may want to think about taking a trip to the beautiful village of Coray. This attractive village is situated in the Finistere department of Brittany, 22 kilometres from Quimper on the southern flank of the Black Mountains.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coray boasts a strategic position, sitting on the old Roman crossroads between Concarneau-Morlaix and Quimper-Carhaix. Its accessible position resulted in the village experiencing early growth as wealthy merchants flocked to the town to make and sell their wares.<\/p>\n

Today, Coray boasts a pleasant mix of retaining much of its traditional character yet having sufficient tourist vibrancy and life. There are enough shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars, for visitors to sample great Breton cuisine and products, whilst still soaking up the traditional culture.<\/p>\n

Asides becoming acquainted to local Coray life in the town\u2019s many bars, restaurants, boulangeries and patisseries, another popular tourist attraction in the village is Coray\u2019s beautiful church.<\/p>\n

The church and its impressive bell tower date back to the 18th century. The village is also well-known for its unusual \u2018cruciform\u2019 stone, which bears a cross-like pattern running through it. This strangely-patterned stone is believed to have religious connotations.<\/p>\n

Asides meandering through this pretty quaint village, there is a lot to experience and enjoy in Coray\u2019s vicinity. A handful of great beaches and coves are a short distance from Coray, as is the fabulous Lac de Guerledan, Brittany\u2019s largest lake.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by verdant forests, this vast lake offers plenty to do both on ground and in the water, such as cycling along the area\u2019s extensive trails or enjoying gliding across the water on a canoe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
