Next stop was Pontrieux 14 miles from the entrance to the Trieux River you go up the river to Lezardrieux then further up under the bridge and then a further 7 miles up one of the most beautifull rivers in Brittany passing under the famous Chateau Roche Jagu then on up to the L'ecluse (Lock) at Pontrieux where the Lock keeper is waiting for you to be let into the river basin where you tie up alongside the quay. On arrival the harbourmaster Stefan 1 asked us if we wanted to stay for 10 days as we could then stay for the rest of the month free also if we wanted a yearly berth for our 9.6 metre boat at €450 for the year. We declined as we have a yearly berth in Morlaix €960 per year. Waking up to the sounds of silence and the ducks and swans asking for breakfast was wonderfull. There is a market town just 10 mins walk from the marina and a supermarket that will deliver to your boat also there is a little english B&B that has internet access and doesnt charge but a cup of tea and a bun is cheap so why not help his trade. You can get the train to Paimpol from the station which is 2 mins from the boat and costs €2 but I got a reduction as I am over 60 a bonus but you have to ask for it.
