Quiberon Bay and the Gulf of Morbihan
To discover
Carnac and its famous stone alignements
Carnac is a renowned seaside resort, known for its five magnificent sandy beaches, its lively entertainment and its nearly 3,000 standing stones listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
From Men Du to Anse du Pô, passing through St Colomban or the narrow streets of the old town and its church, you will be charmed by the authenticity of the place.
Carnac offers not only a coastline, it’s also wooded trails that allow you to discover the magnificent countryside with its hamlets, chapels, old wash houses, etc.
A visit to Carnac would be incomplete without exploring its mysterious archaeological site, ‘The Carnac Alignments’, which is 6,000 years old and consists of 3,000 menhirs and dolmens.
On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, the Carnac market is a must-see!
La Trinité-sur-Mer and its marina
Located 3 km from Le Men Du Campsite and accessible via a cycle path, the charming little marina of La Trinité Sur Mer is a place worth discovering.
A former fishing village turned marina, ‘La Trin’’ as it is known to locals, also welcomes beautiful offshore racing boats.
The wild coast of Quiberon
During a stay in Carnac, a visit to the Wild Coast of Quiberon is a must!
In just a few kilometres, you will reach the Quiberon Peninsula and its west coast, exposed to the winds and waves. These elements have shaped the 10 km of granite cliffs into wild coves, arches and dunes. An invigorating walk and breathtaking landscapes await you.
The offshore islands
Belle-Île-en-Mer, Houat or Hoëdic: set sail for a complete change of scenery, accessible by speedboat for a day trip.
Belle-Île is the largest island in Brittany and lives up to its name!
Vauban Citadel, The Port Coton Needles, The Grand Lighthouse and The Pointe des Poulains… Belle-Île brings together all these breathtaking landscapes.
Smaller and wilder, Houat and Hoëdic will charm you with their crystal-clear waters, exceptional nature and sublime beaches.
The Gulf of Morbihan and the Auray river
A small inland sea covering 12,000 hectares, the Gulf of Morbihan is home to numerous exceptional small islands, the best known of which are Monk island and Île d’Arz.
At the end of the bay, its shores are home to the magnificent city of Vannes, with its ramparts, cobbled streets, cathedral and more.
A one-kilometre-long narrows between Locmariaquer and Port-Navalo separates this little treasure from the Atlantic Ocean. The best way to explore it? Embark on a two-hour or full-day cruise!
