Camping Les Grands Bosquets

Treasure hunts, mazes and escape room-type riddles await at Enigmaparc (10 minutes’ drive), where the entire family can put their thinking caps on to find clues and crack codes in 12 different themed areas, including Greek mythology and pre-Columbian civilisations. In the middle of a lush forest, La Roche aux Fées (20 minutes) is an impressively preserved dolmen dating back 5,000 years. The gigantic proportions of its stones led to the popular legend that it couldn’t possibly have been built by humans, but by supernatural beings – hence its name (fairies’ rock). In Rennes (half an hour), the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes has archaeological artefacts, Renaissance paintings and a cabinet of curiosities with weapons, musical instruments and other items from Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. On Saturdays, stop at the Marché des Lices to stock up on seafood from the Breton coast and to sample local fare like galette-saucisse (crêpe with sausage).
