Camping Kerisole

Is it to be towns, the beach or countryside cycle rides? At Camping Kerisole, you can do all three. Step back in time on a tour of lovely Quimper (35 minutes’ drive), where half-timbered houses sit under the shadow of medieval Saint-Corentin Cathedral, its spiky spires bristling with gargoyles. Take a stroll along the Odet River to browse pottery shops laden with brightly painted earthenware bowls and plates, and see fine Impressionist paintings of Brittany landscapes in the Musée des Beaux-Arts. For family days on the beach, head for Plage des Sables Blancs (half an hour), where there’s entertainment for the kids and lifeguards in summer, or take a picnic and laze on the sand at Plage de Kerléven (35 minutes), which also has facilities for surfing and paddleboarding. Rather do your exploring by bike? Running from Roscoff to the coast, Cycle Route Number 7 passes right next to the campsite and intersects with the Sentier des Douaniers GR34 walking route at Concarneau (half an hour) for hikes along the spectacular Brittany coastline.
