La Bulle de Clotilde

Quimper (25 minutes’ drive) is a good place for a day of wandering – you can visit the pottery museum, stroll among the half-timbered houses of the medieval quarter and gaze up at the cathedral’s stained-glass windows before browsing the markets or chilling out in Jardin de la Retraite. Concarneau (25 minutes) is another good place to explore, with a gorgeous walled town, a busy harbour and a fishing museum as well as lovely sandy beaches with plenty of watersports. It’s also the boarding point for boat trips to the stunning seascapes of the Glénan Islands. Elsewhere around the area, you may like to take in a castle and gardens at Domaine de Trévarez (25 minutes), see the amazing life-size statues flanking a drive through the Valley of Saints (an hour) or take a wander through the scenery of Les Roches Du Diable (45 minutes).
