Brittany

I would like to drive down from Paris to Locronan and Finistere on 13-15 nov in Brittany (although I am debating if I should go to Burgundy!) Could someone please help with my queries:

1. Is it a good time in mid Nov to visit these areas in Brittany?
2. Will it be possible to also travel to Mont Saint Michel in these 2 days?
3. Any recommendations to stay in Locronan?

Sun:
A few differences you might want to consider. Having spent time in both regions, I would select Brittany. In Burgundy all the grapes will have been harvested and there is no ocean. Brittany's coasts are classic....dramatically striking in both the eastern half and the western half.
October had been my usual travel months for both...so I can't help with the weather you may run into.

Two days is slicing it rather paper thin...in either locale. If I can post my pics of both, I will.

You might want to check the Michelin Green Guide for the area -- you'll find a wealth of information there about things to see en route and places to stay, eat, etc.

Check out weather for Brittany. On the average, it gets 15 days of rain in November.

It is about a six hour drive to Locronan from central Paris.
That means you have just one day in the area, in daylight in November. Can you add a day or two to the trip?

Sun: (see pics above)

I can recommend Manoir de la Rance, overlooking the River Rance in Eastern Brittany.. Easy access to nearby, colorful Dinan and coastal, walled city of St. Malo.....northward, to Dinard and the Emerald Coast stretching into the "pink granite coast"...you do need more time as hetismij warns above.
