Camping Ty Nénez

Over 600 animals from 120 species are at Pont-Scorff zoo, a half-kilometre amble or cycle from the site along a traffic-free greenway. Hiking trails and bike rides leave from the grounds: ask the team for their tips on the best routes, on the local horse riding and fishing spots and on accessing canal and boat trips on the river from Pont-Scorff. And then to Lorient, the sea port famed for its annual Festival interceltique de Lorient, held every August to celebrate Celtic culture and music. Five ports are around to investigate at other times of the year, including France's second biggest fishing port (after Boulogne-sur-Mer) at Kéroman, where catches come in every morning for the fish auction and then onto Lorient's fish market at Merville. To tee off, the Golf Blue Green Val Queven course is five minutes' drive away.
