Au Bord de l'Aulne

There are some excellent places to get out for a walk or bike ride in this area, but if you need activities with a bit more adventure involved, take yourselves to Adrénature Adventure Park (40 minutes’ drive) – Finistère’s largest adventure park has 19 different courses to follow, suitable for ages three and up. Back down at ground level, you can calm things down with a stroll around Trévarez Castle (10 minutes), a gorgeous building with Art Nouveau interiors, fabulous views and a fascinating past. There’s also a lot of heritage to explore in Quimper (35 minutes), where you can visit the cathedral, wander through the medieval quarter and learn about the area’s pottery tradition at Musée de la Faïence. Down at the coast, you may like to take a walk around Concarneau (40 minutes), visiting the fishing museum and aquarium before hitting the beach. Boat trips to the Glénan Islands leave from Trévignon (50 minutes), and there are also sandy beaches and surf lessons in Kervel (45 minutes).
