Concarneau and the Breton coast: a van road trip between sea and history

Step back in time in this 15th-century fortified town, one of the few intact walled cities in Brittany. Its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and bustling fishing port make it a must-visit.

This wild peninsula boasts white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for a swim or a paddle. The customs officers' path offers 360-degree panoramic views of the ocean.

A legendary surfing spot, this rocky headland towers over the Atlantic with its impressive cliffs and powerful waves. The still-active lighthouse adds an air of mystery to this grand landscape.

A paradise archipelago accessible by boat from Concarneau, the Glénan islands charm visitors with their turquoise waters and fine sandy beaches. They’re also a renowned spot for scuba diving and dolphin watching.

This authentic fishing port, tucked into a cove, is a peaceful haven for sampling fresh seafood. The fishermen’s cottages and colourful boats create a picturesque and photogenic setting.

This legendary trail runs for hundreds of kilometres along the Breton coast, but the stretch around Concarneau is particularly spectacular. With heathland, cliffs and coves, it offers unforgettable ocean views.
