Camping Plijadur

To Trinité sur Mer first for the fish restaurants, indoor fish market, many shops or a scenic stroll around the harbour; if you want to explore the area, boat excursions, sea fishing trips, diving and sailing can all be organised from here. Brittany has piles of traditional villages to venture around – try the likes of Locmariaquer (10 minutes' drive), Saint-Philibert (five minutes) and Saint-Goustan (20 minutes) for your fix of market pottering and sipping coffee in village squares. Keep an eye open for historic sites as you roam too: the standing stones at Carnac (10 minutes' drive) are most famed, but it's also worth stopping by the dolmen at Mané Kerionned (15 minutes) and the burial chambers outside Locmariaquer. For those whose interests lie firmly in being beside the seaside, the coastal towns of Auray (15 minutes), Quiberon (half an hour) and Quimper (an hour) are also within easy reach. And if you've ever pondered what life might be like under the sea, the Keroman Submarine Base in Lorient (35 minutes) can give you a glimpse into goings-on under the surface.
