Camping le Clos du Blavet

Set off on the hiking and mountain biking trails in the countryside surrounding this pretty place, go caneoing on the Blavet river, or amble off on a waterside walk or bike ride. Go-karting, golf and horse riding are all within five kilometres. Your offspring may make their feelings loudly known if you refer to the term 'museum' in their holiday presence, but ignore any protests and drive the family 10 kilometres or so to the Village de l’An Mil, a living history museum in Melrand set on the site of a preserved village used by Breton peasants over 1,000 years ago. If this whets a thirst for historical knowledge in the kids (one never knows), the preserved 19th-century steelmaking village of the Forges des Salles is about 35 minutes' away at Perret. More conventional family days out can be swung into at the X-Trèm Forest tree climbing adventure park 25 minutes away north of Carnac, and at the beaches of the Gulf of Morbihan and Quiberon Bay, within 30–35 minutes of the site.
