Morbihan tourist information

where to go - what to see - what to do

On the south coast of Brittany lies Morbihan - with over 800km of fine sandy beaches, rugged coastline, rivers and estuaries.

The climate is milder here with wooded valleys and the legendary inland forest of La Broceliande. The well-preserved medieval centre of Vannes has great appeal with its half-timbered houses, shops & bars and creperies.

Not far from Vannes are the prehistoric megaliths that rise from the sea & fields in Carnac and the Golfe du Morbihan.

From here you can take a boat to Belle-Ile-en-Mer for walks along the Cote Sauvage with its panoramic views.

Surfers, climbers, divers and fishermen are also drawn to the clear waters & natural beauty of this coast, known for its oyster production.
