The Glénan archipelago makes for a great day trip (departing from Bénodet Port). In total, there are nine islands[...]
This 5-star seaside resort is in southern Finistère, Brittany, in the heart of the Breton Riviera, at the mouth of the River Odet, looking out on the Glénan archipelago and 15 km from Quimper and Concarneau. Bénodet is a town that enjoys the good life with a rich cultural heritage, a marina, a coastline edged by fine-sand beaches, a casino, a spa and a cinema. This lovely sized town famous for its natural environment offers water sports, fishing, beaches, walks and more. The sea tide is king here, allowing you to explore everything from coves to fine-sand beaches. Bénodet is a must-see resort in Brittany.
The Mer Blanche (“White Sea”) lagoon is absolutely stunning. On one side, you can see the Glénan archipelago and a white-sand beach. On the other, you have marshland and a salt marsh separated from the beach by a strip of dunes covering almost 4 km. Together, the beach, dunes and lagoon create a mosaic of landscapes that are often surprising and change with the tides. This is a beautiful and wild place for walks on the GR34 trail, water sports and relaxation. The Mer Blanche is a paradise for those who love gathering seafood by hand as a variety of shellfish can be picked up here. It’s part of the Bénodet seaside resort (Le Letty, north-west area). The Mer Blanche is within walking distance of the campsite.
