Went to Morlaix twice during our recent stay in Carantec. Such a beautiful town with lovely shops and restaurants. What grabs your attention though, right from the moment you look around is the viaduct. Built in just 2 years (1861-1863) the top part is still used as a train line and the bottom is a pedestrian walkway which strides over the town. The steps are a bit of an effort but totally worth it and has to be done. Each archway has its own spotlight and I just wished I could've seen how they lit it up at night as I'm sure it would've been breathtaking. There is a lovely information board in the middle looking over the town centre with a lovely view at the Hotel de Ville opposite (another gorgeous building). There is even a little part of it giving you the details in English for those who's French isn't what it should be lol. If there are any drawbacks they are few. The side that I scaled the steps of there was no access for our pushchair meaning it had to stay at the bottom while we made the slow climb with 2 small children (who actually really enjoyed the steps and are still young enough to see steps as fun, rather than the soul-crushing pathway to misery they truly are!). The other drawback is that like all these things, the time needed to get everything out of the experience is short, so if you were making a trip especially for the viaduct then prepare for a short stop. On the plus side, Morlaix is truly lovely and well worth spending a diverting afternoon lounging around it's shops and cafe's. In conclusion, while the viaduct itself may not be worth going a long way out of your way for, the town of Morlaix with the viaduct and everything in it, really is!
5. Maison dite de la duchesse Anne

The House known as ‘Duchess Anne’s House’ is a particularly well-preserved example of a lantern house, the lantern being the emblematic architectural principle of the town during the Renaissance. Visitors will find the house, with its covered interior courtyard sheltering a monumental fireplace and a spiral staircase of elaborately sculpted oak, which enables movement between the rooms in the front and rear of the house's three floors.

Really interesting visit to an architectural treasure built in 1530. This renaissance private house shows off the wealth of its owners and was literally built to impress visitors. The highlight of the architecture is no doubt the marvelous sculpted wooden staircase. The ticket is very cheap and a visit will cost you about half an hour to an hour. The friendly lady at the entrance was so kind to tell us more about the house and she pointed out lots of interesting details. Money well spent, if you ask me.

At the tourist office (la Maison Pénanault) of Morlaix, you also find a department of hike (ride) and natural leisure activities. We inform you to set a one-hour stroll or a 7 days roaming hike to explore the Bay of Morlaix-Monts d'Arrée, on outdoor leisures (fishing,climbing,surfing). It's also a bike rental point open all year long: mountain bikes for adults and children, baby sit, trolley, city bikes, treeking bikes, E.Bikes, even for groups.
