Enjoy every moment of your family vacation in Brittany

Either just a few steps away or not far by car, you can travel back in time and stroll along cobbled streets, gaze at delicate paintings, let your spirit run wild across large granite arches, watch the herons or egrets fly across the bay, and more.

If you are looking for more of a thrill, you can listen to Breton bagpipes or electric guitars playing, follow the local fishermen’s tracks, surf the ocean’s most impressive waves, watch street shows, and more. From Lorient to Concarneau, Doëlan to the valleys of Le Faouët, the region is bursting with marvellously bold natural curiosities and traditions. The Tourist Office in Le Pouldu and our team can guide you through this wonderful and inspiring journey across Brittany.

From the lookout point in Brigneau or Merrien, the gorse and trees have stopped the crashing tide and allowed the river’s delicate beds to remain well-preserved. A secret haven for birds and walkers is nestled away behind the picturesque little fishing port of Doëlan. From the Grands Sables beach to Kerfany, both beaches and granite headlands are ideal for watching the tides come gracefully in and out. Further along the coast, Quiberon’s wilder beaches reach far into the horizon. The island of Groix and the Glénans archipelago showcase incredible crystal-clear blue lagoons.

For a change of scenery, the forest of Carnoët will delve you into a lush green environment. With water being at the heart of most walks around here, the Ellé river bed is home to the impressive bubbling Roches du Diable (Devil’s Rocks). You will no doubt fall head over heels with every new place you discover during your holiday – whether incredible maritime or forest environments, thrilling or more low-key.

In Le Pouldu, in southern Finistère, water sports are all the rage. Sea-wading or paddle at the Grands Sables beach, kayak in the estuaries, surfing at Kerou beach or Guidel – there are so many thrilling leisure activities to enjoy. Starting off in Le Bélon or Doëlan, you can also set sail out to sea with a skipper. Several clubs and rental spots will guide you safely into the water. Once the tide has cleared the foreshore, get your bucket and fishing net out: shore fishing is great fun, in search of the sea’s many jewels.

Back on dry land, the famous GR 34 walking path is ideal either for seasoned hikers or more casual strollers. Hiking paths and trail circuits snake through Quimperlé’s forest paths and rolling hills. The area’s many charming paths and winding roads are a haven for bike-riders. Some may otherwise prefer strapping up their saddle for a leisurely horse-ride through the forest. Set between land and sea, Plœmeur’s golf course is a real delight for enthusiasts.

Whatever your favourite activities may be, our team will recommend the best sites for enjoying authentic, invigorating and thrilling adventures.

Next, go and enjoy a delicious galette by the water mills along the river! Step back into the 21st century when strolling through the cobbled streets of Quimperlé with its street art and art galleries, right near the historical centre’s timbered houses. Visiting the Manoir de Kernault and Saint-Maurice abbey makes for the perfect combination of walking, exhibitions and architecture.

In terms of local heritage, you will be just a few kilometres away from some of the most famous sites in Finistère and Morbihan, such as the medieval city of Concarneau, the fortress of Port-Louis or the stone alignments in Carnac. In Lorient’s harbour, the ocean-side town beautifully highlights the submarine base by delving you into an energising nautical world.

With its party-going Breton spirit, culture is also celebrated during the Festival des Rias (street theatre) in Quimperlé, the Interceltic Festival in Lorient, the traditional Fêtes de la Mer in the region’s many harbours, the Cornouaille Festival in Quimper, and many more. With lively music, shows and exhibitions, follow your inspiration and celebrate in style!
