Le Bonheur Côté Pré

Tréguennec, 10 minutes' drive from Le Bonheur Côté Pré, is a famed Bay of Audierne spot for wildlife watching, surfing and sailing; those who want to ride around the area can gee up the horses from a centre 10 minutes away. And other things to do in this lovely locale? You can hotfoot it to the half-timbered houses and Breton County Museum of Quimper with its archaeological exhibits and traditional dress displays half an hour away, or drop by the Faience Museum in town to peruse the well-known style of pottery from the area. To get back out into the wild landscapes afterwards, the Phare d'Eckmühl working lighthouse with a dramatic backdrop is 30 minutes from the site while the Pointe du Raz headland – oft called the 'end of the world' thanks to being France’s most westerly point – is 55 minutes away. Guided tours can be taken from the welcome centre or you can tramp through the gorse and heather by yourself; on a fine day, eagle eyes can see all the way towards Île de Sein off the coast…
