Nestled in the charming seaside village of Audierne, L'Aquashow offers a delightful experience that exceeds expectations. This attraction features an impressive bird show where majestic birds like eagles and owls showcase their skills against a stunning backdrop. While the show is conducted in French, it remains captivating for all ages. Visitors can also enjoy an aquarium filled with fascinating marine life, including local fish and mesmerizing jellyfish displays.
The aquarium was excellent - lots of fish we hadn't seen before and a very curious octopus. We thoroughly enjoyed the bird of prey show, which lasted for around an hour. The animals were incredible and to be able to see them up close was amazing. We had some drinks at the cafe and prices were reasonable. We didn't eat as one of the party has a food allergy, so unable to comment on the food. A fun way to spend a few hours!

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.
R R — Google review
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.
Nick H — Google review
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.

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.
George C — Google review
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!
Carine V — Google review
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

A very sweet quaint museum that has been a labour of love for the curators. 6€ entry. Endless shells and crustaceans, the colours and sizes will amaze. The collection is a true reflection of the wonders of nature. If you are a little bit of a nerd you will truly enjoy this museum. There is a well stocked souvenir shop attached and if these are not for you the beaches are heavenly.

(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 ...

(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.

(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.

Sunday night. 200,000 square feet. Nothing. One guy doing tai chi or something. Dead. This is the big thing in Brest ? Yikes. This after the soul deadening experience of Oceanopolis. What’s with this “city” ? Thankfully driving back to the charming towns tomorrow. Ciao Brest. It’s funny, looking at the other reviews they say how great it is then post pictures of a totally empty dead environment. Party on !

Excellent place! Loved the street art exhibition and the little shops, like the second hand vintage shop close to the entrance. A big downside for me, thus the 3 stars, is that it's not pet friendly. Regarding the hateful ignorant comments, guys it's a C U L T U R A L C E N T E R, which means that they host exhibition and events, beside the permanent coffee, food and beer shops. That's why they have a site, so you can check what they're hosting every day and go see the exhibition or event that you're interested into.

It's a cool multifunctional space, refurbished from a naval factory but that's pretty much. There's an ice cream shop, some co-working spaces, a cinema and the ocean museum but apart from the last one there's not much to do. There're only a few posters concerning the history of the building so if you don't have something specific to do there it won't keep you busy for long.

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.
John C — Google review
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.

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!

Téléphérique De Brest is the first urban cable car in France, offering a unique way to cross the Penfeld River and enjoy stunning 360-degree views of the picturesque seaside port.

The experience provides access to a renovated site with delightful dining options like Fabrik.
We stumbled upon the cable car and it had a very short line. Staff was present to help make the self service ticketing very quick and easy. Views from the ride over the river we're beautiful and the large former ship repair sure that's now a local museum, arts, activities, food & bar area was perfect as a light rain passed thru the area for about an hour.

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.

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!

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.

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 !
Robert — Google review
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.
Subas A — Google review
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.

Nestled just 15 minutes from Douarnenez, the Office de Tourisme de Locronan invites you to explore one of France's most picturesque villages. Renowned for its stunning architecture and rich historical significance, Locronan has been recognized as a Historic Monument, preserving its charm over the years.
Really loved this town. Only found it by accident. Because the name is similar to my own. We got some great shots here. A really old town with cobble stone streets. Lovely

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.

(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.

Wildlife park
Nature & Parks
Gorges Stangala is a stunning natural landscape located near Quimper city, featuring a five-kilometer steep valley adorned with unique trees, small plants like ferns, and mossy rocks. The area offers breathtaking views and enhances the hiking experience. Situated on Odets upriver along the GR 38 footpath, it is renowned as one of the most extraordinary land landscapes in Basse-Cornouaille.
So lovely to be in nature. There was a trail map sign, but being alone, I wasn’t completely comfortable to do the entire loop (the signs along the trails weren’t very clear). Definitely worth a visit.

Wonderful hikes along the small river. Looks like you could take a dip in the river in a few places: so bring your swimsuit (we did not 🙈)!
Andreas J — Google review
This place was gorgeous. We took about 2 hours walking around. It's very steep to get to the river and not buggy friendly at all! My son who's 6 walked the whole time and loved it, our daughter is 3 and she walked plus we put her in carrier. If you don't want to wake around it and have a child there is a nice walk along the top where you can see a couple of view points.
Louise R — Google review
Nice trails outside of Quimper and very dog-friendly! Well-maintained paths and clearly marked. We didn't get to see the whole park on our first visit, but if you go early in the morning you'd be able to explore all the trails by dusk, and it'd be worth it!

Absolutely wonderful woods walk along the Odet as it riffles between mossy rocks and twisting oak roots. Main trails are moderate, but side trails are very difficult for anyone with mobility issues due to the trail winding over and between large wet rocks. That aside, it’s a charming hike through a beautiful forest, which is hard to come by in this area of Brittany.

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.

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!🛖

Gorgeous park with easy paths and kids activities (outdoor and indoor). A small zipline to enjoy too. We had a nice weather but a woman nevertheless got her car stuck in the mud in the parking so I suggest you are careful when choosing a parking spot. You can see wolves, boars, goats, rabbits, pigs, geese, deers and more, it is really a nice full-day or half-day visit.

We had a nice wall wind Menez-Meur Domain recently. There had been fires in the area a few weeks before so some of the tracks were closed. The admission price was reduced because of this. We enjoyed our walk around, meeting the goats, pigs, horses and of course, the wolves. The farm area seemed a bit run down and a few of the enclosures were empty.

Good, but the cages for the birds are very small and for the foxes also. Nice views and such from the hills. The deer and boar have big cages which is what the rest of the animals need.the rabbits also need bigger cages.

(Translated by Google) We went to the chocolate shop with a group of children aged 7 to 11. We watched a film and toured the workshop independently. Then, when we returned to the store, the saleswoman didn't pay any attention to us. We were expecting to be able to taste the chocolates as agreed, but we had to ask her after 10 minutes for her to inform us that we only had to taste what was presented on the table. She reprimanded us firmly during the tasting because we had the misfortune (innocently) of going behind the counter to taste. When she started refilling the plates, we realized it was time to leave. We had planned to take several things from the store for the children to taste, but we settled for only the bare minimum given her attitude. Too bad... (Original) Nous nous sommes rendus à la chocolaterie avec un groupe d'enfants de 7 à 11 ans. Nous avons visionné un film, et visité l'atelier en toute autonomie. Ensuite, lorsque nous avons été de retour dans le magasin, la vendeuse ne s'est pas du tout préoccupée de nous. Nous étions dans l'attente de pouvoir faire la dégustation comme convenu, mais il a fallu que nous la sollicitions au bout de 10 min, pour qu'elle nous informe qu'il suffisait de goûter à ce qui était présenté sur la table. Elle nous a repris fermement au moment de la dégustation, parce que nous avions eu le malheur (de manière innocente) d'être passés derrière le comptoir pour déguster. Lorsqu'elle a commencé à remplir de nouveau les assiettes, nous avons compris qu'il était temps que nous partions. Nous avions prévu de prendre plusieurs choses dans le magasin, pour faire déguster aux enfants, mais nous nous sommes contentés de ne prendre qu'un minimum au vu de cette attitude. Bien dommage...

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.

One is the "enclos paroissal" and a fine example at that. It is an enclosed church with site buildings, churchyard and some artwork thrown in. It is all very cosy. The are free guides available (at least in the high season) who just start explaining things as soon as some people gather around then. It's all very informal. Inside there is some fine painted woodwork.

Wow what a church! Beautiful, I've never seen any church in this style in England. Although the stone cross looks a bit scary. I wouldn't like to walk near it in the wind or if there was an earthquake. I cycle tours into town for the BCN/BPF stamp. Well worth a visit.

Nestled in the heart of Brittany, Huelgoat Forest is a captivating destination that enchants visitors with its atmospheric woodlands and stunning natural rock formations. This ancient forest, located near the picturesque lakeside village of Huelgoat, boasts an array of moss-covered boulders and lush deciduous trees that create a magical ambiance. Adventurers can explore various hiking trails, ranging from leisurely circular walks to more challenging treks through this enchanting landscape.
Just wonderful. Such a nice place, specially when it's not crowded 😅 haven't got deep into the forest yet, will at some point next week but the entrance itself is already amazing, very high trees. Nice sky. Well signed. At first glance seems like a very closed forest and easy to get lost.

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.

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.

This railway viaduct is truly impressive, especially when the TGV passes above. The structure is in excellent condition, and you can walk through it from the inside using the side access points. It's very clean and well-maintained. Best of all, access is completely free. A wonderful place to visit and admire the engineering marvel up close!

(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 !!

Imposing 16th-century castle occupying a tiny rocky island, accessible by boat for tours & events.
Excellent for a morning visit. We sailed from Plougasnou. The boat was busy but there was plenty of room. The initial 5 minute introduction to the castle was only in French but we were given a guide book in English and after the intro could simply explore. Most of the notices and boards in the fort were in both French and English so even with our limited French we didn't miss anything. Would definitely recommend.
Andrew K — Google review
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.
Andrew J — Google review
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.
LPD M — Google review
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!
Gerald L — Google review
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.

Nestled on the moors, Pointe de Bihit offers a challenging yet rewarding hike with stunning views of Lannion bay and the foothills of Finistere. The path to the point is steep and filled with large stones, making it difficult for those with knee problems. However, reaching the top unveils a breathtaking panorama. Visitors can park their motorhomes at the parking lot for a small fee and explore the area, enjoying a great view from atop.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent walk but well worth it. Complicated by the small stony path which requires hiking shoes. And by the small road on the side, pretty steep but breathtaking landscapes 🤗🤗🤗. (Original) Balade magnifique mais qui se mérite. Compliqué par le petit chemin pierreux qui demande des chaussures de randonnée. Et par la petite route sur le côté jolie dénivelé mais paysages à couper le souffle 🤗🤗🤗.

(Translated by Google) The view from the parking lot is exceptional. Don't leave without stopping by to take a look from the paraglider takeoff area (on the right before arriving at the parking lot... or on the left when leaving) (Original) Le point de vue depuis le parking est exceptionnel. Ne repartez pas sans être passé jeter un coup d'oeil depuis l'aire de décollage des parapentes (à droite avant d'arriver sur le parking ... ou à gauche en repartant)

(Translated by Google) Parking nearby with a beautiful view of the point. It's possible to take a nice hike around the point. I recommend wearing good shoes, as there's a lot of climbing on the rocks. The view is magnificent; it's a must-see if you're in the area. (Original) Parking à proximité avec une belle vue sur la pointe. Il est possible de faire une belle randonnée autour de la pointe. Je vous conseille d’avoir de bonnes chaussures, car il faut beaucoup grimper sur les roches. La vue est magnifique, c’est un arrêt obligatoire si vous êtes dans le coin.

Association / Organization
Station LPO Ile Grande is a rare gem dedicated to caring for birds, featuring a permanent exhibition and a small shop with staff devoted to bird protection. Visitors can also take the opportunity to explore the magnificent 8km walk around the large island. The station offers an educative experience suitable for both children and adults, shedding light on human impact on nature.
We were passing by, when we saw on the map this station. We gave it a chance and I'm so glad we did! Enter was free of charge that day, the employees were very nice. The visit was very remarkable and educative, not only for children, but for adults, too. I think visiting stations and places, like this station, are very important for everyone who wants to educate themselves about human impact on nature. In the store you can buy really not expensive gifts and souvenirs like bird or hedgehog house, books, cards, cups and so. We spent in the area of the station + the inside exposition around 1:30h.

A nice place for a walk with great views. You can also visit the little museum here to learn about the area and the sea birds living here. You can get pretty close to the seabirds that are living in the big "bird house".

Visited whilst staying nearby. A small museum there takes you through the life cycle of the shore line and the changing numbers of various sea birds. Opportunity to see a love camera located on a nearby island where there is a summer colony of Ganets.

Île-Grande is an islet in Brittany, connected to the mainland by a bridge. It offers wild landscapes and is steeped in local legends. Situated at the heart of the Pink Granite Coast, it presents various facets on both the island itself and its surroundings. Visitors can explore the area by hiking along the coast or kayaking around the island to experience its beauty from a different perspective. The terrain varies with tides, offering diverse landscapes for hikers to enjoy.
Such an amazing place. Wish I could stay l0nger and definitely worth a trip if staying nearby
Simon C — Google review
A beautiful (yet easy) hike around the Ile-Grande brings with it many different sites. In fact, it has two different personalities, one when the tide is out (it REALLY goes out far) and one when the tide is in. The walking path is fairly flat and easy, with some optional climbs up to viewpoints if one wants a bit more of a challenge. Around each bend, a new vista emerges often very different to the last one. A stop at the bird rescue centre to support their efforts and see the volunteers in action is worth it.
