Around the Gulf of Morbihan

Leaving Vannes, head towards the Séné Peninsula. A few kilometers later, you'll travel along the seabed among the birds. A ferryman will then take you to the Rhuys Peninsula. Follow the southern shores of the small sea to reach Arzon. A few more kilometers (approximately 44 km in total) will bring you to Suscinio Castle for an idyllic and historic detour.

Overnight stay: Arzon

The ferryman will take you to Île aux Moines for your day trip. Nicknamed "the Pearl of the Gulf," Île aux Moines, with a circumference of just 7 kilometers, is the largest island in the Gulf of Morbihan. Let yourself be charmed by the heart of the island, where narrow streets are lined with stone houses and gardens burst into bloom. Stroll along the beaches, which offer stunning views of the calm, crystal-clear waters of the Gulf. And indulge in the local cuisine: fish, seafood, pancakes, and galettes, all washed down with cider, of course! (In moderation)

Overnight stay: Arzon

Take the boat from Port Navalo to Locmariaquer. It lies on the beautiful Rhuys Peninsula and marks the northern entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan. Besides its advantageous location and attractive marina, the municipality of Morbihan is primarily known for its megalithic heritage. The Great Broken Menhir, the Mené-Bré alignment, and the Merchant's Table are particularly worth seeing.

Thanks to the cycle paths, you can reach Saint-Philbert, a charming town with its beaches, coastal paths, and historical sites. The famous Rue de l'Océan lives up to its name, offering exceptional panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. From the Corniche de Saint-Philbert, you can admire the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer, one of the most important on the Atlantic coast, as well as the extraordinary natural beauty of the Bay of Quiberon. After a gourmet stop in La Trinité-sur-Mer, you'll venture deep into the countryside and forests of the hinterland to reach Carnac and its famous standing stones. These megalithic gems are among the most impressive and mysterious in the world! After this wonderful cycling leg, you can enjoy relaxing moments on the beautiful sandy beaches of the Bay of Quiberon.

Overnight stay: Carnac

You leave Carnac through the famous standing stones. After admiring this priceless Neolithic masterpiece, return to Auray. The town boasts a charming historic center. On the banks of the river of the same name lies the most interesting spot: the port of Saint-Goustan. We invite you to spend the evening and night there.

Overnight stay: Auray

You cross the old Bono suspension bridge, an iconic structure offering breathtaking views of the meandering river. Next, you reach the village of Bono with its traditional harbor and fishermen's cottages, before heading towards Baden. From there, you can see the islands of the Bay of Morbihan, especially from Port-Blanc, where boats depart for Île aux Moines. Along the way, the paths lead through peaceful countryside, past marshes and small woodlands. Continue to Arradon, a charming town with beautiful views of the gulf, before reaching Vannes via a greenway. The old town of Vannes welcomes you with its city walls and half-timbered houses.
