Quiberon, in the Morbihan, is a narrow peninsula pushing out into the ocean, linked to the mainland by an isthmus. Facing the Atlantic, the western shore, the Côte Sauvage, offers cliffs, wild coves and powerful waves, while the more sheltered east coast has fine sandy beaches such as the Grande Plage.
The port of Quiberon, with Port-Maria, is the departure point for boats to Belle-Île, Houat and Hoëdic. Its sardine-fishing tradition gave rise to a renowned canning industry, while thalassotherapy and water sports draw a varied crowd. Cycling and walking routes along the coast let you explore the peninsula at your own pace.
Quiberon fits into a stay in southern Brittany, with the Carnac stones, the Gulf of Morbihan and Belle-Île a short crossing away. The best time to come is in spring or early autumn, when visitor numbers are gentler.
