Gulf of Morbihan - France

[M1AGM]

Hi, was hoping any fellow phers may have some words of wisdom on the area as I am thinking of booking a week or so around there with the family (wife, 2 teenagers) this summer. Kind of wanting to know where the good beaches are, good towns for food, stuff to do etc. Any pointers much appreciated as its quite a big area and a complete unknown to me. Thank you.

Hello there
Its a lovely area, Carnac is very nice with world famous stones (similiar to avebury/stonehenge), Auray is one of the nicest towns i have ever been to.Quiberon is out in the sea, very surfy with world class beaches everywhere.

Agreed, Carnac is lovely with a tidal island as well as the stones, Trinite sur mer just round the corner is also spectacular. A fair bit further west Benodet is also great and the tidal lagoon is ace (think rapids pouring in and out twice a day).

Funnily enough we were in Carnac Sur Plage for five nights last year, loved it. We had a caravan on the Eurocamp place, short walk into town and plenty of sensibly priced bars and restaurants, lots of shops, lovely beach and promenade.

We used to stay at Port du Crouesty when the kids were small nice little port, Vannes is worth a visit too.
