Scrapyards in Brittany?

We are spending a week camping in Brittany next month and I just wondered if anyone knew of any good scrapyards in that neck of the woods? I also hope to visit the Citroen factory in Rennes, 'home of the XM'. With thanks and regards, Matthew T.

Hi Matthew
Have not seen any when we have been over there so I think they must be fairly well hidden. Try looking on French ebay or even french google - if you can read french it helps.
We got lost in Rennes last time we were over there, it was at about 11.00 pm so the traffic wasn't to bad, reminds me of Bristol for some reason.
Enjoy your holiday.
Peter
