 morbihan guide - Pays d'Auray
Auray has everything you’d expect of a historic town in Morbihan, and more.
Historically, Auray’s importance lies in its being the site of the battle that ended the Breton civil war, in September 1364, a conflict that ran in parallel with, yet also formed part of, the Hundred Years’War.
West of Auray, the similarly historic town of Hennebont still bears traces of the suffering it incurred from being close to the Lorient pocket, the area around the port defended to the bitter end in the World War II.

 Of Free Camping, Mighty Stones and Big Angry Dogs - Auray, France - BootsnAll.com
When my sister and I were in Ireland a couple of years back, at one point she had cried out in desperation, "Oh no, you want to see stones again?!" But today I was on my own, and could see as many stones as I pleased.
The nice people at the tourist office gave me a bus timetable, highlighted the times of the next bus, which was to leave from Auray around noon, and a map on which they marked the way to the nearest bus stop.
I had to take a cab (which turned out to be less expensive than I had feared) to the campsite, a normal one with a real reception office that was not closed, and refreshing showers for me to use.

 [Jeanne d'Arc]>> Battle>Agincourt
At the beginning of 1364, after the failure of the negotiations of Évran, Montfort, with the assistance of John Chandos, came to attack Auray, which had been in the hands of Franco-Bretons since 1342.
To avoid being caught between the castle and the French Army, Montfort evacuated Auray and took a position facing the enemy, on the slope of the right bank of the river.
However, as John then paid homage to Charles V of France, rather than to his patron, Edward III of England (who claimed to be King of France), the French cause seems to have won in the end.
