Whether for your Easter holidays or a break in May or June to take advantage of the public holidays, you will enjoy the beautiful clear spells and the magical light they diffuse.

Don’t hesitate to dedicate a day to the beautiful island: l'Île de Bréhat. It is particularly charming with its flowery paths, its pink granite rocks and its very jagged coastline. Don't miss the Birlot tide mill, the extraordinary panorama at the Saint-Michel chapel, the Paon lighthouse, and if you have time, visit the glassworks.
Tasty seasonal products
Springtime emerges, painting the world with blossoms and reviving the symphony of life. It's time to explore the surrounding markets to discover Breton specialties like pancakes (crêpes), salty butter and caramels & artisan cider.
