The combination of historical genius loci and natural beauty is truly unique. We were lucky to stumble upon a local festival and bought a baguette with regional cheese—making it a culinary experience as well. Freshly baked bread with cheese is a timeless classic… thank you!

Very interesting place. We came here to see the Corps des Gards building but found there was much more to see here. There is a dedicated parking area for motorhomes next to the car park and toilets. There is a path of about 500m to walk which is just about suitable for a wheelchair user.

Beautiful place to visit with enough information to understand the area. Craft shops selling handmade gifts.

A very beautiful and impressive place to visit.

It was fantastic! I'm really in love with the Celtic architecture. The village is in a very good shape and you can visit every house. It is a really tourist hotspot. The best is the cost and it's boulder options. The kids really loved it to carefully climb the rocks. Fir those who are brave enough can go swimming, but it really depends on the weather and the water temperature. A must see!

Thats one of the best places I visited during this journey! I felt a bit like beeing in Asterix village in Gallia. So nice reconstructered old huts with all the natural massive rocks. And the handcraft shop and Bistrorestaurant. Visit is for free as parking. Inside of some huts the hustory of that village is nicly explained also a lot to discover for children. All in three languages french, english and german. Can only highly recommand this seaside unique attraction!🛖

Enjoyable visit of an interesting and scenic area. Buildings restored from Seaweed fishermen.

Beautiful views and it's free!!

One of the most beautiful places!! Amazing landscape.. you must see it.. it worth the kilometers..

Very nice place and far less busy than the very closed pointe du Raz. Nice place for birdwatching if wind is raisonnable

great coast full of heather and nice beaches. It was windy as everyvhere else but really enjoyable place. Close by is historic site. We liked this much more then Pointe du Raz Where you need to pay for parking but is not special at all.

Vey beautiful. A must see.

The best: wild, friendly, powerful...

Wild

Careful! This is a normal transport means for the locals. It is not a tourist attraction. Therefore you can expect it to be smelly and dirty but a very cheap way of getting a complete view of the naval base down below. You go to one of the points and buy your tickets there. Take a two way ticket and you can enjoy the view.

It's a nice ride, but only if you stand next to the window. Make sure you enter first, otherwise you are stuck in the middle of sweaty people and can't see anything. The ticket is easy to buy at the machine on the departure platform. 2,2 per person, kids till 6 for free. On the other side of the river you will arrive right to the Atelier Capucins, a former factory building. The area is enormous and gorgeous, but still has to find it's purpose, I think.

You should experience this. Yes, it is a short trip but it supplies you a good view

Must see Brest's cable car, it is a short a ride but very nice to try.

Fun little find to take our boy on, it isn't manned so can get very crowded on the cable car. But a lityle fun venture

I recommend to visit. Great view of the bridge and bay. Low cost (2.2 eur in two directions). Excellent view of the historical part of the city from a height.

4.50€ for a day ticket to ride the tram, and buses all over Brest to explore. Top it off with a (included in the day ticket) ride in the "Ski Lift" for a sky line view and the realisation that the return lift is heading straight for you - you have a few seconds to work out how they will pass each other before you descend!

Part of the castle which you have to enter see review of castle. The rowing museum at Henley has more exhibits. Most of what you read you could get from a book. Worth visiting for the views of the town.

Already in the 3rd century, some fortifications, a castellum, were constructed at this site. Later, this huge castle was built and expanded through the years. Occupied by the English during the Hundred Years War, sold by the English, it became an important Naval base and part still is and off limits to visitors. There is a well signed tour you follow through the castle. There are many galleries inside with the interesting history of the place. At the end of that tour, there are some beautiful large wooden sculptures

Lovely place to get history a lesson on the area of Brest. The Chateau covers a huge area and housed inside is the Marine Museum. Naval history at its best! Models of ships used throughout France's conquests and exploration expeditions are on display. Plenty to keep the kids engaged. The views of the bay are fabulous as well.

Excellent maritime museum with loads of displays, models, av displays and audio guide in multiple languages. Just to note that only the entrance and first floor are fully accessible. And the tour goes between inside and outdoors...just in case you're visiting on a rainy day. Allow at least two hours for a visit to cover the full exhibition and not miss out on any time periods of the maritime story. We visited as a family with a 6 and 9 year old and they both really enjoyed it as well, especially since they got their own audio guides and could seek out the next number on the tour. The audio guide is an extra €2pp but worth it.

The Musée National de la Marine in Brest is another significant institution dedicated to France's maritime history. Located in the historic Château de Brest, this museum showcases the rich naval heritage of France through an impressive collection of artifacts, models, and artworks. Visitors can explore exhibitions that cover various aspects of naval history, including shipbuilding, naval battles, and exploration. The museum features detailed ship models, paintings, and various maritime instruments that illustrate the evolution of the French navy. One of the highlights is the stunning views of the harbor from the castle, adding to the overall experience. The museum often hosts temporary exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs, making it a dynamic place to learn about maritime culture. If you're in Brest, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in naval history and the sea!

Oldest Maritime museum in Europe if not the world. Housed within a castle. Only 7euros for adults - excellent value. Good history of the castle and the dock areas in addition to the navy and the different types of ships. Get the audio guide which is free and comes in different languages.

Beautiful experience with many relict of ancient history that take you back to the past! the view of the city and ocean is very very nice.

It is ok, but there are far better aquariums around. Admittedly, the place is currently undergoing a major renovation, so a large part of it is closed. But what we did see was mostly digital or interactive displays plus some tanks of mostly small creatures such as shrimps and seahorses. The only big animals visible were a few very bored seals in a tiny tank, swimming round repetitively. There were quite a few English translations and the staff were friendly. We stayed about an hour in total. Definitely don't travel specifically to visit, but it passes the time if you are in the area and the weather is bad. Hopefully, it will be improved when the big renovations are unveiled.

Overall loved the aquarium, just bad timing with the renovations so didn't get to see the sharks and the penguins but really nice and educational. The restaurant has really good food.

Great place to visit with kids with so many learning games and activities to educate on ocean and marine life and bio diversity and how to protect it. Buying tickets in advance is recommended to avoid waiting in queue especially on weekends and public to school holidays.

OMG worst aquarium ever ! Huge property seems abandoned. Rusted property. This place is definitely going out of business. Seals were nice. Two or three other fish tanks good. No otters in otter tank. Not one. All food places closed. Nobody here. On a Sunday. There’s no way this survives as a business. Penguins coming in October ! This whole place likely to be torn down in two years. Sad. The young women at the front were cute and funny though !

At the time we visited this place, most of the attractions were closed for renovation. It was expensive and we just saw one part of the aquarium. A bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the little thetre experience, though, it could be interesting for children especially.

My slightly low rating is due to a number of the major attractions being closed, which we knew about before our visit but it's definitely something to consider before making your way out. To be fair to the venue the ticket price is currently reduced to reflect the reduced offering but just something to be aware off. I would also score them lowly on the food offering. The restaurant looks cool but on the day we visited, there was a limited offering and the fish and chips was not good. Coffee from the smaller kiosk was also disappointing. The main attractions open we're the Brittany exhibition which is a series of smaller tanks and can opportunity to see the seals swimming under water. You can also view the 4 seals above ground. There is also an otter exhibition with 2-3 otters. They're cute but it's a small exhibition. There are some interactive\educational areas and an outdoor play area. We visited as a family with a 6 and 9 year old and they enjoyed it and we did spend over 3 hours there. It's also easy to get to Oceanopolis by bus from Brest. If you're driving there is plenty of parking including an area for camper vans.

Every nice aquarium for the whole family. Lots of variety in the exhibits and when small children get restless, there are a few outdoor play areas for them to get the wiggles out. Bring your lunch - the restaurant is mediocre.

Magical. 100% worth the drive to get there

(Translated by Google) A look back at a site visited 15 years ago There were far fewer people, and the access points were still a bit "hidden," with little traffic and therefore "little damage." Today, things are different... Fortunately, this doesn't detract from the beauty of the site. (Original) Retour sur un site visité il y a 15 ans Il y avait beaucoup moins de monde et il était encore un peu "caché" les accès peu empruntés donc "peu abîmés" . Aujourd'hui c'est autre chose ... Heureusement cela n'enlève rien à la beauté du site

(Translated by Google) From the mineral house, you can take a path that will take you to this place. You will have superb panoramas to observe during the walk. Easy trail. If you want to access the beach at the bottom of the cove, the descent is more complicated. Beautiful walk, let's respect these places for the pleasure of all (Original) Depuis la maison des minéraux, vous pouvez emprunter un sentier qui vous amènera vers ce lieu. Vous aurez de superbes panoramas à observer pendant la balade. Sentier sans difficulté. Si vous voulez accéder à la plage en bas de la crique, la descente est plus compliquée. Belle balade, respectons ces lieux pour le plaisir de tous

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful loop starting from Saint-Norgard towards the tip of Rostudel then the GR34 towards Morgat via the Pointe de Saint-Hernot (Ile Virginie), la Grande Roche, Ménez Kador and return via the alignments of Ty ar C'huré. (Original) Très belle boucle en partant de Saint-Norgard vers la pointe de Rostudel puis le GR34 en direction de Morgat via la Pointe de Saint-Hernot (Île Vierge), la Grande Roche, Ménez Kador et retour par les alignements de Ty ar C'huré.

(Translated by Google) Superb cove but prohibited for the moment and until further notice and given that many tourists do not respect the bans and continue to destroy access by their repeated passages, it risks being prohibited from access for a good while longer. Too bad because this superb place risks paying dearly for this incivility. (Original) Superbe crique mais interdite pour le moment et jusqu'a nouvel ordre et vu que beaucoup de touristes ne respectent pas les interdictions et continuent a détruire les accès par leurs passages répétés elle risque d'être interdite d'accès encore un bon moment. Dommage car ce superbe lieu risque de payer cher cette incivilité.

(Translated by Google) Worth the detour, frankly exotic! The view is earned after a 25-minute walk from the Maison des Minéraux in St Hernot on the Cap de la Chèvre road from Morgat. In season, prefer late morning or afternoon so as not to be overwhelmed by the waves of tourists and appreciate the beauty of the place and its exceptional side. Too bad that lazy people always try to park as close as possible to the place... a victim of its success. (Original) Vaut le détour, franchement dépaysant ! La vue se mérite après 25mn de marche depuis la Maison des Minéraux à St Hernot sur la route du Cap de la Chèvre depuis Morgat. En saison, préférer la fin de matinée ou d'après-midi pour ne pas être submergé par les vagues de touristes et apprécier la beauté du lieu et son côté exceptionnel. Dommage que des fainéants tentent toujours de se garer au plus près du lieu... victime de son succès.

Review from an irish, English speaking family with five children aged between 7 and 16. It's reasonably priced for an attraction when you include the bird show. Firstly there are plenty of ample free parking near the premises. We chose this aquarium as it was know for its bird show. Now although only a few, I must admit the birds they had were stunning and well kept. The overall aquarium experience is short, but my children highly enjoyed it. I must warn though, that the bird show is not spoken in any form of English, so its impossible to know what's being said without knowing the language, for us that was only slightly disappointing but when thaught about also to be expected. that being said I could tell by it, that alot of information is given and several questions answered. It's obvious a lot of work has gone into training the birds and the show. I'd highly recommend it to any French speaking tourists.

A large aquarium also with birds of prey. I always find it difficult to score such places as it's sad seeing animals in captivity. All the animals were well presented and appeared healthy (I'm not a vet). The sea life and tanks were interesting and all the information cards were in French and English.

Great place and well worth the visit. It is not particularly a big place and you do get around it quickly but the birds they have are amazing. They all seem well looked after. The aquarium section is really interesting aswell with descriptions and explanations in both English and French. The staff were all very friendly and the bird show is brilliant. It is only in French ( which is to be expected) so we did not understand what was being said but you can clearly tell they really know their stuff and the birds get so close to you. Delighted we made the trip and would highly recommend.

My family and I enjoyed going here. A shame that we were unaware that the restaurant needed reservations.

Really good aquarium with some unusual fish. The bird display is top notch. One of the best I've seen, with some unusual additions, including fishing cormorants. Very reasonably priced as well, with a free car park.

At Aquashow you’re treated to stunning aquariums and a bird show you won’t forget anytime soon. The staff is super friendly – you almost feel like a fish in water yourself. 🐠 The bird show is entirely in French… so if bonjour and merci are the limits of your vocabulary, you might look a bit lost. But no worries: the birds perform without subtitles, and that’s just as impressive. 🐦✨ The rest of the explanations are in both French and English, so you’ll be just fine. All in all: educational, fun, and definitely worth a visit!

There is an aviary and an aquarium on site. On Sundays the food & bar is closed but there’s an amazing blue van creperie close by 😉. The birds of prey are impressive and the kids particularly loved the jelly fish displays inside

Wonderful place! No cars allowed (except for the mail truck). You can walk around the island in 45min and catch your own shrimp off the North shore! Incredible!

Lovely island, interesting gardens

(Translated by Google) Superb place, we spent a very beautiful day there, with the sun and the sweetness 😍🤩🌞 (Original) Superbe endroit, nous y avons passé une très belle journée, avec le soleil et la douceur 😍🤩🌞

(Translated by Google) We spent the day there and really enjoyed it! It's a good tourist spot. (Original) Nous y avons passé le journée et avons bien aprécié ! C'est un bon endroit touristique

(Translated by Google) We took the boat there from Roscoff. What a beautiful island. You have to see it. (Original) Met de boot vanuit Roscoff er naar toe gevaren. Wat een schitterend eiland . Hier moet je geweest zijn.

(Translated by Google) Superb island. Very pretty, with several beaches, a botanical garden to visit, a lighthouse (among others), several creperies, cafes. The crossing is not long, around fifteen minutes. Consider purchasing tickets in advance for the shuttle. Very beautiful view of the sea. (Original) Superbe île. Très jolie, avec plusieurs plages, un jardin botannique à visiter, un phare (entre autres) plusieurs crêperies, cafés. La traversée n'est pas longue, une quinzaine de minutes. Penser à prendre des billets à l'avance pour la navette. Très belle vue sur la mer.

(Translated by Google) Too good! If you are in the area, come take a tour of the island on foot or by bike. After parking your car (pay attention to the controls) it takes 10/15 minutes to cross. On the island there are bars-restaurants. You can also picnic there. Dog crossing is free. ... Afterwards it's just beauty. Consider taking a camera. The tour of the island is 10/12 km without difficulty. You can also visit the lighthouse and the garden. You won't regret your day. (Original) Trop bien ! Si vous êtes dans la région, venez faire un tour de l'île à pied ou en vélo. Après avoir stationné votre voiture (attention aux contrôles) il faut compter 10 / 15 mn de traversée. Sur l'île il y a des bars-restaurants. Vous pouvez aussi y pique-niquer. La traversée des chiens est gratuite. ... Après ce n'est que du beau. Pensez à prendre un appareil photo. Le tour de l'île fait 10 / 12 km sans difficulté. Vous pouvez en plus visiter le phare et le jardin. Vous ne regretterez pas votre journée.

Excellent museum we spent an hour wondering around exhibits were very good and informative all though mostly in French

I enjoyed the opportunity to climb aboard several ships and explore. Gives one an appreciation for the life of a sailors. Indoor displays were also good. Liked the exhibit on the sardine industry here.

Very interesting for all naval fans. Gives you an insight into the history with actual used ships. Beautiful exponats in the big hall, don't miss the actual ships in the little port. Cool: You can be a captain and a fisherman here!

Great museum with lots of boats you can actually visit and so much to learn about boats in general. Would suit adults and kids from the age of 8. Definitely worth a visit!

Very interesting, it was a beautiful experience. Suggested both for adults and children

Cool small museum about smaller ships and fishing. Great thing is that they have also a exterieur part, with 4 ships that you can board and visit from inside.

Very good fun and excellent value. Good art exhibition when we visited

The Exotic Garden of Roscoff offers an impressing richness of tropic plants from all over the world. For botanic lovers a „must seen“ in the French Bretagne.

A wonderful garden to visit. Very friendly reception. Gorgeous plants. We really appreciated the English translations, the information provided was very educational. Thank you.

Beautiful array of flowers, cacti and trees. Viewing point was worth the trip alone. We saw quite a few butterflies, koi fish and birds. Definitely worth the trip and reasonable price.

A wonderful little garden. Grey skies on the day we visited, but the flowers and plants were amazing. Good views of the harbour from the lookout.

A nice exotic garden you wouldn't expect in Brittany. If you're a gardening enthusiast, then it is worth seeing. Well maintained and clean.

Well worth the visit. Magnificent haven for exotic plants.

Some really cool plants to see here. From the top of the rock you have a really nice view.

The fort itself is pretty cool, definitely worth a visit. I found the history to be even more exciting though! 4/5 stars because there is not that much to see/do.

We enjoyed the boat tour and appreciated that the guide book had English wording. The trip could be enhanced by providing some basic commentary in English. On arrival at the fort we found ourselves in a big crowd listening to the tour guide speak French. We didn't want to leave as it felt rude. It would have helped if the tour guide let us know in English that the non French speakers were free to leave and to explore the fort. Overall we enjoyed the trip.

Excellent organization of the visit from the start, with a straightforward, informative website, to picking up our tickets, to the boat shuttle. Knowledgeable staff too - and don't forget the gift shop. Quick, the last bell is ringing - don't miss your trip back to the mainland!

A beautifully restored coastal fort with much effort put into informing and interpreting its usage and siting, along with the history of the site. A great little self guided tour - the information boards are in both French and English - thankyou! Its worth visiting the gift shop for some unique presents too.

Very interesting but do check the times of the boat trips as soon as you arrive on your holiday, we nearly missed out due to high tides.

Very interesting visit but ran out of time looking around.

I really enjoyed this trip. Unfortunately the guide talk was in french and my french is not that good. Maybe a small talk in english also?

One can spend a lovely couple of hours in Locronan for some picture-taking and/or crepe/galette-eating. Doesn't need more than a couple of hours though.

A very different place in France a must see you can also catch a local concert here

should you need to see the Breton village, this is it!

So helful

(Translated by Google) It is noted as “one of the most beautiful villages in France” in my opinion it deserves the title of most beautiful village in France! We did it in the rain and yet its charm was intact. It doesn't seem "worn out" by tourism because it has made tourism a force and it's really beautiful to see. The small shops are all more beautiful than the others. (Original) Il est noté « l’un des plus beaux villages de France » selon moi il mériterait le titre de plus beau village de France! Nous l’avons fait sous la pluie et pourtant son charme était intacte. Il ne paraît pas « usé » par le tourisme car il a fait de ce tourisme une force et c’est vraiment beau à voir. Les petites boutiques sont toutes plus belles que les autres.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly welcome. The person who welcomed us took the time to explain things to see and do with a person in a wheelchair. Because the village is really not wheelchair friendly. (Original) Accueil très sympathique. La personne qui nous a accueilli a pris le temps d'expliquer les choses à voir et faire avec une personne en fauteuil roulant. Car le village n'est vraiment pas adapté au fauteuil roulant.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful villages in France. Its preserved architecture is a delight for the eyes of this small town of character. I had the chance to meet and chat with Clarisse, who runs the small boutique "Les Sylphides". He is an incredible person, the memory of Locronan, religious buildings and the department of Finistère. Her shop is admirably kept and she will not fail to chat with little touches of humor. She will perhaps remember me and my wife, because I had the delicacy to say "Mrs. Clarisse" in our conversation, and she spontaneously replied, "phew, it's not Mrs. Claude". I ADORE. For our next visit she promised me a medal, the only one she still has. I will not fail to go see her and pay her a little friendly visit. Of course I did some Breton shopping. (Original) Un des plus beaux villages de France. Son architecture préservée fait le bonheur des yeux de cette petite cité de caractère. J'ai eu la chance de côtoyer et discuter avec Clarisse, qui tient la petite boutique "Les Sylphides". C'est une personne incroyable, la mémoire de Locronan, des édifices religieux et du département du Finistère. Sa boutique est admirablement tenue et elle ne manquera pas de discuter avec des petites pointes d'humour. Elle se souviendra peut-être de moi et de ma femme, car j'ai eu la délicatesse de dire " Mme Clarisse" dans notre conversation, et spontanément elle m'a répondu, " ouf, c'est pas Mme Claude". J'ADORE. Pour notre prochaine visite elle m'a promis une médaille, la seule qu'elle possède encore. Je n'y manquerai pas d'aller la voir et de lui rendre une petite visite amicale. Bien sûr que j'ai fait quelques achats d' emplettes bretonnes.

On a warm, calm-sea day, this place is contemplation itself. Take in the lighthouses, but also the mirror-like shoreline as well, out to the furthest in the middle of the sea. Facilities and eateries available, and check out the cute church just a little further up the coastline.

Huge lighthouse, a tough, physical climb up 370 steps but the view from the top is worth the lung busting effort (I'm a severe asthmatic but I made it) Superbe!!

Nice lighthouse 307 steps to the top.. Adults 4 euro childeren 2 euro

Imposing and historic. Very good access but best viewed from a distance for best effect. The area has good facilities for visitors.

Beautiful location. Lighthouse well worth climbing if you have the nerve! Unfortunately bad smell often pervades the area , not sure but possibly from piles of rotting seaweed. I stand to be corrected on that though. Some lovely little cafe and souvenir shops here too.

307 stairs to get to the observation point on top. Unfortunately, the uppermost section was not available for visits however. The view was still great. Not a long activity though. They had discount prices for kids under 10 and for students. The gift shop right besides had good looking postcards too for tourists.

Great experience good views and lighthouse was brilliant good facilities including close parking

we only visited the platform, where you can watch the arrival of the Fishboats unloading their catch. be there at 4 a clock and watch from above. Great experience!

You have to be at the very end to see the boats unloading.

Lots and lots of fishing boats bringing in their catch. 3.00pm onwards.

Interesting visit

Good place to see fishing boots bringing in the catch of the day

At 4:30 pm, the fishing boats start to return to the port to unload their catch. The viewing dock parents an unparalleled opportunity to watch this ritual up close. Incredible experience.

GREAT PLACE EVERY DAY AT 16:30 YOU CAN SEE THE BOATS COMING BACK WITH FISHES AND OTHERS FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. NICE EXPIRENCE!!

Great to be able to walk across this amazing piece of architecture, trains above you and views of the town and port. Beautiful.

Amazing piece of working architecture

superimpressionnante construction

alot of history and culture

it's a great view of town from the top.

(Translated by Google) Really beautiful! Really great!! Especially when the train passes over it, you can have different points of view, either from the alleys above, from the chapel, or from the bottom of Morlaix, the Viaduct is really in the center of Morlaix, very imposing! Really great and architectural genius (Original) Vraiment beau ! Vraiment top !! Surtout quand il y a le train qui passe au dessus, ont peut avoir différents point de vue, sois des venelles en haut, de la chapelle, ou encore du bas de Morlaix, le Viaduc est vraiment dans le centre ville de Morlaix, très imposant ! Vraiment génial et du génie architectural

(Translated by Google) A very pretty viaduct and beautiful town of Morlaix. I was surprised when I spent a few hours exploring this town. I didn't expect to see a small, hilly town full of character. So charming and dynamic! (Original) Très jolie viaduc et belle ville de Morlaix. J'ai été surpris en visitant quelques heures cette commune. Je ne m'attendais pas à voir une petite cité de caractère vallonnée. Beaucoup de charme et dynamique !!

Colorful windows with arts are very wow This is a very beautiful cathedral in a very beautiful town. We much enjoyed our tour. Motivated by a GC Adventure Lab we were surprised that two of the stops are within this location. So check it out.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral well worth visiting the architecture is incredible.

Beautiful church in a very quaint town — at least the old part of town.

One of the things we love about trips to France is visiting the great monuments to mans dedication to God over the past centuries. I don't care what God you believe in, these massive buildings are something to behold. And to think they built them without modern technology, building methods, etc. I find them both magnificent and awe inspiring.

This is a very beautiful cathedral in a very beautiful town. We much enjoyed our tour. Motivated by a GC Adventure Lab we were surprised that two of the stops are within this location. So check it out.

A beautiful cathedral in the heart of a medieval gem. It has the interesting quirk of a twist in the nave said to be due to problems with the proximity of the river when being extended. Wide range of shops and restaurants around cathedral square.

Beautiful, atmospheric and amazing construction. Wonderful music played during my visit to add to the experience.

Excellent trip the young captain was fun and so noligable highly recommend

Must do : wonderful scenery. Chilax ! You won't regret.

We had a great cruise over the river Odet. The trip was from Benodet to Quimper and back. We saw a great amount of house/manors. My wife and two oldest children has also a boat trip with a fast boat towards several ilands to see the great nature between benodet and the ilands. They als saw seals and a lot of birds. Great trips.

Think twice before booking the boat tour. It's not exactly cheap and we were left stranded in Quimper because we were given the wrong time for the return bus to the port by the booking office. And the bus does not hang around if you are given the right time. We arrived 2 mins late for the correct time. We rang the office for help and we were told to just get a taxi back. With 2 small children in tow and not much French language between us we are hoping to get back in time to have a full blow out with the booking office.

TOURIST TRAP: 49 Euros per person for going to a very small island were you can walk around for about 20 to 25 minutes. Nothing there to see except 2 full bars where people are drinking beers and such. The tour was boring-- most of the Glenan Islands are little pieces of land with nothing on them. Certainly overly hyped but very disappointing in person.

We took the cruise on the l'Odet up to almost Quimper. Enthousiastic guide who explains all the sights in both French and English.

They have short cruises across the Odet that only cost a couple of Euros. They also do longer cruises to St Marie. If you don't fancy a cruise then the tourist road train picks up outside every hour. Judy be careful they on Monday's they have they market so the train doesn't go to the port until the afternoon.

Amazing forest with well marked paths and trails. Boulders and rock formations are huge and spectacular.

Absolutely beautiful walk. Great on a hot day, as sheltered by trees and by the river. Felt like Jurassic Park, absolutely beautiful. Easy walks. Dog friendly

Great place for an easy hike in the forests. The hiking trails are easily accessible through the town of Huelgoat. I recommend to visit the following places: La Grotte de Diablo, Cap d'Artus and Grotte d'Artus. I recommend to plan for at leas half a day to enjoy this place without any stresses.

Amazing place, free to walk round, lots of options on length of walk. Lots of corners to explore. Fun for adults and children. Back pack easier with toddlers. Some steep drops.

Nice forest with big granit rocks, a beautiful canal and an old town nearby

One of the most magical places I've been to. The forest is quite massive and has loads of places to visit, I went for my birthday with my SO and we both had an amazing time. Heading into the forest you will see incredible natural views and even some wildlife. The fountains you find there are nothing but magical and you truly feel something special walking around in this forest.

A very interesting place to visit and walk. Take strong shoes and you will need to climb to a degree. The trip down to the Devils Cave is worth making but involves steep steps and ducking under rocks. For the not able bodied the lake opposite is beautiful and there are many cafés and restaurants nearby.

The garden is great at all seasons, and the exhibitions vary according to the years. An interesting, quite romantic place to visit. You can also trust the lunch and snacks served at the café.

We almost bumped into this place by chance. It is well hidden in the country outside Chateau Neuf Le Faou. Park and gardens are beautiful and the building in itself is a constant memento of the true substance with which the Belle Epoque was made, it being erected at the end of 19th century. It makes you more historically conscious, if I may say so.

Beautiful chateau and lovely woodland gardens. Very highly recommended

Renovated castle with a beautiful garden, fun family games and a lovely picnic area. The visit is not free but very reasonably priced especially for children. Wheelchair accessible and restrooms available across the domain.

Domaine de Trevarez was a delightful surprise! The gardens were bursting with color – flowers and trees of every variety seemed to be in bloom. The renovation has been amazing, the grounds are so well-maintained. And to top it all off, there's a charming little cafe right at the entrance, perfect for grabbing a coffee and pastry before you explore.

Really nice castle ! The visit was great and super well organized. Very different from older buildings yet still quite interesting. The view is amazing and the gardens delightful to walk around.

An interesting modern, turn of the 20c built chateau. Beautiful walking on mature woodland paths and gardens.The house is undergoing a major renovation but there are areas to visit. Frequent events and exhibitions take place throughout the year when café facilities are available in the old stables. Recommended.

A small, fortified city on an island at Concarneau. We arrived at low tide, and left as the tide returned. You can walk part of the ramparts but only one ruined tower. Inside, the city consists of essentially 3 streets--1 main thoroughfare & two streets along the castle walls. Most of the buildings are restaurants and clothing or souvenir shops. A lovely view of the bay can be seen on 2 sides, while the other sides show the adjoining town. Historical signs are few & in French only. We visited on a market day, so parking was a pain. We finally found spots about a mile away. Stop on the castle walls side for a less crowded lunch. A photo opp outside L'Amiral for Magritte & Dupin mystery fans. It's free to enter the close.

Very crowdy and full of shops more or less interesting. A walk around the walls is your best option to admire the port, sea and city.

Lovely, beautiful ancient place to walk around. Plenty of places to sit and drink or eat.

Fantastic historic old city, we have visited 3 times in the last 20 years and are never disappointed. I can recommend the restaurant Le Penfret

Well maintained tourist and historical venue. Views from the rampart are great looking backwards the central part of the village.

Arrive early to access parking. You can spend hours in the many boutique shops within the walls. It is like a Tardis with a lot more inside than you would have thought. Lots of shops, Cafes, and a Museum all within the walls. Enjoy the Celtic Bretagne folk music that is often played within the walls. Outside the town has many attractions too with lovely waterfront Restaurants and seafront walks. Fab place to visit.

Great day out, gets busy, many shops restaurants inside walls. Lots parking outside.

Its so perfect and nice, you must eat hier!!!

It's remarkable that this impressive museum only opened its doors in 1985. In the second half of the 19th century, Pont-Aven held a considerable appeal for artists. They came here to paint, as the museum's collection attests. The term "École de Pont-Aven" only emerged later. And it wasn't exclusively French artists who came to work in this region of Brittany; artists of other nationalities also came. The museum explores various themes through artworks from 1850 to 1950. The different perspectives provide a beautiful and varied picture of this particularly artistically prolific period in Pont-Aven. A visit is definitely a must for art lovers.

Very good museum - highly recommended

Very nice museum, the current temporary exhibition is absolutely worth a visit, if you are in the general area of pont-aven. The permanent exhibition is nice, as you can visit some of the sceneries in the paintings within 5 minutes of walking along the woods and the places are definitely recognisable still.

A must see when visiting Pont Aven. Small entrance fee, friendly staff, wonderful historical art on view.

Loves it. Great permanent exhibit and the special exhibit on sorcery was fascinating and chilling.

A modern and beautiful museum in the heart of Pont Aven with a great selection of Breton art and Brittany inspired artists. The art works are nicely presented. Worth a visit!

Very important collection of Post Impressionist artists and the group of Pont Aven, Gauguin, Pizarro, Bernard, etc.

Well worth a visit, a great setting with walks down through the woods, do make sure the Shrine and church is open though!

Interesting place: good for long walks in the forest and to see beautiful chapelle built on a break in the rocks.

Interesting old building - we had a nice ice cream. Surprisingly busy / no public toilets but plenty of free parking.

Lovely place to visit. Nice cafe on site selling coffee and crepes. Beautiful church. Nice walk through the woods.

Large car park with a nice cafe , only a few steps down to the Chapel, its a nice place to visit.

Lovely forest walks, some very steep

Nice place to visit. We drove from Carhaix. Good for hiking too.

This was our second time with Breton Bikes. Having done a route up to the North we chose a route South to Carnac from the wide range of options. With the overnight ferry from Plymouth we arrived quite early on Saturday but they were able to accommodate this and had our bikes and camping equipment ready. The route directions were detailed but easy to follow and we spent the week on a variety of campsites ranging from very basic to quite commercial. On the previous trip we'd had a minor problem with one bike. Geoff had been very happy to drive out to us when we phoned but in the end talked me through what was needed to fix it. No problems at all this time though. Altogether a very enjoyable trip and we are already thinking about a third.

Very, very positive experience with Breton Bikes. Great bike routes and scenery - this is rural Brittany! Wonderful accommodations - small guest houses or hotels in which we could talk with the hosts or guests. Being on our own for meals worked great - we could eat what we wanted and when we wanted. We had one small glitch with a bike and Geoff was very quick to respond and fix it. We are independent travelers so being on our own with maps worked well for us but Geoff was available if we had questions. Highly recommend Breton Bikes!

What a wonderful way to spend a week! Brittany's beauty exceeded our expectations. It was a delight to cycle through the countryside with its rolling green hills, forests, beaches and charming old world villages full of flowers and character. We were very happy that we chose to go with Breton Bikes. Geoff and Kate run a family business and are experts at what they do. Geoff assembles many of the bikes himself. There is a tour available for every fitness level and interest. We really enjoyed meeting them and we felt very well supported throughout our week. We chose the heart of Brittany Tour on regular bicycles which was a great choice for us. The bikes were comfortable and well maintained. Our longest day of cycling was 53 km (actually 63 km for us as we got a little lost) and included some hard hills. We liked that a couple of the longer days cycling were a bit challenging for us. The tour was well planned with shorter cycling days at the beginning and end and an optional rest day in the middle. We opted to cycle even on the rest day as we were having such a great time. Accommodations ranged from pretty simple to fairly luxurious. We got well fed or had good food available nearby at every place we stayed. The low price of wine, cider and three course meals almost everywhere delighted us! The bikes were great, people were friendly, scenery was gorgeous and prices were right. What's not to love? We highly recommend Breton Bikes!!

We had a wonderful cycling trip in a scenic part of France. The e-bikes were excellent and made the tough hills manageable. The accommodations were very good and the midpoint ocean stop was well-timed. We did get lost a few times and maybe the directions could sometimes have been clearer but all’s well that ends well.

I have nothing but good things to say about Breton Bikes, the owners Kate and Geoff Husband, and the glorious countryside in the interior of southern Brittany. My wife Barbara and I live in San Francisco, CA. We have been bicycling in Europe pretty much every year since 1973. In the early days we brought our bikes over on the plane, carried our gear in panniers ( We change our people, not our clothes.), and mapped out our own routes. We rarely made hotel arrangements. We would pull into town and find a place to stay. About 20 years ago we opted to hire bikes in the area in which we would be cycling. In the past few years we have “graduated” to hiring ebikes. We have never considered working with one of the high end bike group tour operators that move your bags from place to place, have a guide who cycles with you, and a sag wagon to rescue you if you have a problem. That’s not our style. Early this spring we decided we wanted to cycle in Brittany, one of the few regions in France we did not know. We wanted to find a local tour operator who could provide us with good ebikes and panniers to carry our gear, map out a route for us, and make arrangements for us to stay in small towns. My Googling led me to Breton Bikes, exactly the sort of tour operator we were looking for. We recently returned from a delightful, early June, eight day cycle tour in the interior of southern Brittany. We cycled along canal towpaths and sleepy country roads, by golden wheat fields, dairy cows, forests, and roses bushes blooming in front of most houses. Breton Bikes arranged for us to stay in small hotels and B&Bs. We particularly enjoyed our conversations with our B&B hosts all whom spoke English. I attach a few pictures. We want to come back!

The thing about Breton Bikes cycle tours is how much you discover that there is to discover! We have done three tours over the last ten years; two on their redoubtable 'BB Specials' and one on electric bikes. These are reliable machines that carry you & your week's luggage (two large paneers and a handle bar box) comfortably and safely along your itinerary - we have never had to call on Geoff and Kate's offer of roadside assistance. Our usual choice is to go in late spring or early summer. Yes, we have been rained on sometimes but have always dried out soon after the sun is back out & all is forgiven with a glass of cider or wine in hand. If your cycling clothes are damp, the panniers have kept your evening clothes properly dry, ready to change into after a shower. Mostly though, the weather has been warm & dry. Routes are well planned, cycle friendly and diverse. I understand that Breton Bikes cycle their routes before each season to check they are up to date; they also visit their chosen accommodation to make sure expectations are realistic. Expect real contrasts in accommodation! Some are 'basic', while some are sumptuous indeed... Hosts are always glad to welcome you at the end of what they realise has been a good day's exercise. It is worth talking to Geoff & Kate before you set off and use their extensive local knowledge to help you plan how you spend each day. There is much more to do than cycling! Depending on the distance you will cover each day, you may want to buy a picnic before setting off or you may be passing a bistro at lunchtime, where you can enjoy the 'plat de jour' (in your cycling gear). If you're really lucky, you may catch a village market. So do ask and have a think about what you want to get out of your week. It's great to get back to Guarec at the end of the week with a sense of accomplishment and indulge in some well earned boasting about how fit you have become. We have never managed our stated aim to weigh less at the end of a week’s cycling in Brittany – it’s just not a fair fight with all that wonderful seafood, pastry & cheese lying in wait wherever you go!

We had an excellent 2 week cycle tour of Brittany. No problem at all with the bikes, & the gear provided. Really excellent set up. I highly recommend it for any wanting to explore Brittany by bicycle . The campsite at Gouarec is lovely and well equipped as well. Geoff & Kate were really helpful right from first booking. Should add they held our deposit through COVID, so we could book this year 😊🚴

There’s like four parts to the base museum and half of them weren’t open, the submarine part is only french and for each part you need a separate ticket. Entry to just the Tabarly part was 14€ each and the clerk told us it would take about two hours. We took our time but were outside again after 30 minutes and learned pretty much nothing. It’s probably educational if you know exactly zero about how a boat works. We felt kinda ripped off and the only thing that redeemed the trip was that we “accidentally” walked through a restricted section of the k2 bunker which was pretty cool.

Very good place for amateur of sailing and for kids. Kids and adult will love it many explanation et games (simulator, videogames, winches etc..to learn how to sail. Very friendly staff. Great experience you can combine with the « sous marin » and the tyrolienne!!

Fascinating and vast. Lots of handson stuff to do for kids and the surrounding wartime submarine experience is def worth the tour. It's like a film set but real!

Fascinating. So much to do inside. Lots of hands-on exhibits. Great for kids!

As an experienced sailor I guess a lot of the exhibit was familiar material.

Brilliant interactive museum. Kids loved it. So did I 😄

Great place, especially with kids. 4stars for parking as it's really terrible, had to park quite far cos local car parks were full ( we got there at11am ) and for the long wait for getting tickets - as there is a lot to do with different tickets, the staff takes a long time sharing all info with each group (it's all good info, but there only 3 staff).

It's best to book a time slot in advance. It's not an extensive museum but it is interesting and the walk through the submarine with audio commentary is worthwhile.

We took the English speaking tour of the K3 building and then we did the submarine museum with the walk though of the submarine and it was well worth the trip.

The exhibitions before the tour is very interesting and informative. The audio tour inside the Flore is just perfect. My two girls (18 and 8) enjoyed the museum too. It was an emotional moment for me as I did my first dive in La Flore in 1984 during military service. I feel very lucky I'm able to visit a boat I was once a crew (even for a very short time only). The other submaribe based in Lorient I spend most time on was sent to the scrapyard. I will be back to visit the base (again). Merci!

Amazing history, I didn't manage to get on the U-boat which I'm sure would have been great. Seeing the history of the port is very educational and great few hours out. Little food stalls around when you get hungry too

A great day out, visiting the submarine, museum and submarine pen. The staff are all very friendly and extremely informative, particularly the guide for the k3 pen. Would also recommend the sailing trip around the harbour. Plenty of restaurants to choose from so spoilt for choice.

We are so glad that we visited the museum and submarine itself. In the museum u can watch 3 films telling us history of Bretagne, times of WW2 and now times. To go inside of the submarine it's a great chance to dive in life of marines. I was with my son, his age is 11 and my friend with the son of the same age.

The tour of K2 of the submarine. It was a great experience. Well laid out. Well lit. The story at the start was interesting. This part of the tour they have multiple languages preset so you get all the information. Visiting k3 and the guided tour was interesting but only available in french and to visit k3 you need a guide. The tour guide had a lot of knowledge and passion but was too fast for myself to translate and was not able to absorb the interesting history and story. K2 and sub is well worth visiting alone. Also a great way to escape when the heat gets to hot.

This museum is inside the Citadel, and part of the ticket price. A detailed history of lifeboats in France. The Citadel itself Larger than appeared from the approach a good example of a star citadel. Even with renovations during our visit plenty to see and learn.

Very good museum that shows the history of the East India company that includes the links to the British history of trading with China and the Orient. Don't miss out on the ancient porcelain exhibition on for the summer, Chinese figurines from the 17th century and an amazing exhibition of fans, of all things.

A really interesting place to visit and full of beautiful exhibits. Recommend getting an audio talk as most of the displays are in French. Staff helpful.

We visited this museum with our children, everyone enjoyed it. It is also impressive just to see the fort and walk around there.

Interesting museum of French lifeboat service and east indies trading, lovely historical buildings, definitely worth a visit particularly if the weather is nice.

Very interesting french history. Lovely environment. Tourist friendly.

Nice location not so many artifacts.
