The unacceptable face of Brittany tourism


Moncontour gets 0 stars from me for its tourist service. Clearly stated on their website that the office would be open Thursday 27 January, morning only, 10-12. I planned my day accordingly: it's a very long drive for me, so left early. On arrival, I found the same information graphically displayed on the actual door of the office. However, office closed. No explanation. What an appalling service!
The mairie expressed surprise that the TO office was open in winter at all: Moncontour is a very small place - is there no communication between these two vital sources of visitor information?
I was there to plan a group visit - bit of a joke, when they obviously don't care very much about visitors.
Luckily there are plenty of other places with a better attitude. I shall be awarding stars to all from now on.
