Bot-Conan Lodge

Fancy a walk? The GR34 – a 2000km trail also known as the Sentier des Douaniers – passes next to the site for good long coastal walks. If that sounds a little daunting, just take an easy stroll to La Roche Percée, a sea arch five minutes’ walk away. Other laidback ways to see some of the local scenery include boat trips to the stunning Glénan Islands from Beg Meil (five minutes’ drive) or cruises along the Odet river from Bénodet (15 minutes). Both Beg Meil and Bénodet also have ways to dial the pace up a little – the first with its tennis courts and the latter with Expéria Park Bénodet, an adventure park where you can swing through the trees. How about some town outings while you’re here as well? Concarneau (25 minutes) has a walled town to explore, and lovely Quimper (half an hour) is home to a cathedral and museums. There’s also Pont-Aven (half an hour), a pretty riverside village that inspired Paul Gauguin and other artists.
