The restaurants of Sainte Anne d’Auray

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

This is historical, architecturally stunning Sainte Anne d’Auray! I passed by it almost every day and have several posts in my blog on it. This is awesome regardless of your beliefs as the town is totally devoted to the wonderful Basilica. (see posts), However, I have left out its culinary expressions which we indulge very much and will remedy that with this new post using older pictures, Hope you enjoy the restaurants of Sainte Anne d’Auray, that we have patronise of course.

In Sainte Anne d’Auray is ,also, one of our favorite family places to go and on the list of best traditional creperies of Brittany, that is  Créperie Les Ajoncs, right across from the basilica. We had our tastes here several times as it is on the list of the traditional Breton creperies which is a seal of authenticity.

Les Ajoncs, is a subtle mix of pancakes and sweets. Since 2008, have offered to revisit traditional Breton gastronomy according to their desires and the seasons. But that’s not all, because the tea room has many other sweets in store for you to come and taste or share with friends according to your desires.  Throughout the year, the Les Ajoncs invite you to discover their specialties, The establishment also offers regional products for sale, small gourmet pleasures from our dear Brittany, which will inevitably delight connoisseurs.  The Crêperie Les Ajoncs,is at 4 rue de Vannes,across from the Basilica Sainte Anne.

Another one we have visited once is the La Boule d’Or a bit further but on the same road as the one above, It is a more traditional restaurant serving French food for a long time and very well known in the area.

There are wonderful crêperies some we have tried and are great, and historical quaint unique lodgings ,one I visited this morning after passing in front of it for years!  The lodging is the L’Auberge right near the Basilica and on the main road to Vannes, D17. It has a wonderful entry lobby with nice leather bucket seats , TV ,magazines and books to read; all the tourist information for the area. A beautiful stairs to take you up to the dining room for a wonderful breakfast, and very well kept rooms. In addition, to a quaint pretty patio with terrace on back. All of these right on the main street in town close to all and walking distance to the Basilica.  I was impressed by the attentive service given to me and the hellos by all even if just there did not stay, waiting for take this person to my house.  From a simple building outside that I passed by many times, the inside look and description by all, tell me this is very nice place to stay while in the area.  The hotel is part of the Logis de France ,and this year won the excellence prize from the as well as Gault Millau

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
