Outdoor adventures: woods, beaches and walks

Brittany is a real playground for families looking for outdoor adventure. The legendary Forêt de Brocéliande is the setting for many legends, including those of Merlin the Magician and King Arthur. Take a stroll along its mystical paths, discover the Val sans Retour (Valley of No Return) or the Miroir aux Fées (Fairy Mirror) and let your children immerse themselves in the tales and legends of Brittany. Fun and educational trails have been specially designed for young visitors to make their visit as educational as it is fun.

The beaches of southern Brittany, such as the Grande Plage at Carnac, are ideal for sunny days when children can build sandcastles while parents enjoy the mild Breton climate. What's more, many beaches offer water activities suitable for younger children, such as kayaking and paddle boarding.

For walkers, Brittany offers a wide range of family walks and hikes. The coastal paths around Carnac and Quiberon offer stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. For more woodland walks, the paths in the Brocéliande forest or along the rivers are ideal. Each route is an opportunity to discover the local flora and fauna and enjoy some quality family time.

Special guided tours for children make history accessible and exciting.

In Lorient, the Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly is a must. This interactive museum dedicated to sailing will delight young adventurers. They can immerse themselves in the world of sailing, climb aboard a real submarine, the Flore, and take part in fun workshops.
