The Golfe du Morbihan (meaning « little sea » in Breton) is almost 20 km long and 15 km wide, it offers a rich ecosystem, with mudbanks and marshes. This coastline profits from a mild microclimate and harbours flora and various migrating birds, that could be observed either from coastal footpaths by cycling or walking, or from the sea by kayaking without making any noise. Do not forget a camera!




Barely 10 km away, there is the castle of SUSCINIO, it was the Dukes of BRITANNY residence, used as a resort at those times. This castle, with its fortifications has been remarkably restored. The monument is surrounded by marshes, and is really worthwhile. Not far from there, you will find the sandy beaches of PENVINS, ST GILDAS, or further DAMGAN and PORT-NAVALO.

3 km from your stay, you could discover the TASCON Island, that is reachable from SAINT-ARMEL at low-tide by walking.

15km away there is the cape of the peninsula called PORT-NAVALO, with its deep water harbour Port du CROUESTY.
