What if this summer, you explored one of the most beautiful corners of Brittany? The Gulf of Morbihan and the Rhuys Peninsula are packed with treasures to discover over the course of a week. With breathtaking natural landscapes, charming villages, activities for the whole family, and a relaxed pace of life, this destination is perfect for a summer holiday full of relaxation, exploration, and authenticity. Whether you're coming from the Paris region, Lyon, the north or south of France, Southern Morbihan is easily accessible by train, car, or plane. To make the most of your Breton getaway, Hôtel Breizh du Golfe welcomes you to Arzon in a modern, warm setting just steps away from the region's best sights.
 

☀️ Day 1 & 2: Arzon, Port du Crouesty and Coastal Paths 

Start your week gently by settling into Arzon, a charming town located at the tip of the Rhuys Peninsula. Right upon arrival, you're in the heart of the action: Port du Crouesty, one of the largest marinas in Southern Brittany, awaits you with its shops, lively terraces, the JOA Casino, and its vibrant summer atmosphere. From the port, set off on foot along the coastal trail that follows the wild coast, a must-see for admiring cliffs, hidden coves, and stunning ocean views. Families will enjoy their first swim at Fogeo Beach, supervised in summer and ideal for children. 

👉 Where to stay? Just a few minutes' walk from the port and beach, Hôtel Breizh du Golfe welcomes you to bright rooms with a private balcony or terrace. The perfect setting to unwind after a busy first day.
 

🏕️ Day 3: Excursion to Île-aux-Moines 

No trip to the Gulf of Morbihan is complete without a visit to Île-aux-Moines, known as the "pearl of the Gulf." Accessible by boat from Port-Blanc (just 15 minutes by car from the hotel), the island is a true haven of peace. Rent bikes upon arrival and explore its flower-filled alleys, small beaches, and postcard-worthy landscapes. Picnicking on the beach, family strolls, and 360° viewpoints make this a day to remember.
 

🏝️ Day 4: Heritage Discovery Between Vannes and Sarzeau 

On the fourth day, take time to visit the Breton region's cultural highlights. Start with the medieval city of Vannes, just 30 minutes from Arzon. Wander through its cobbled streets, explore the ramparts and marina, and don’t miss the lively market on Wednesdays or Saturdays. In the afternoon, head to Sarzeau and the impressive Château de Suscinio, a former residence of the Dukes of Brittany. This historic site delights visitors of all ages with summer events and interactive tours. Enjoy a seaside walk along Suscinio Beach afterwards.
 

🛶 Day 5: Water Activities for the Whole Family 

The Gulf of Morbihan is a dream playground for water sports enthusiasts. Paddleboarding, kayaking, catamaran sailing, or boat cruises — there's something for everyone! From Port du Crouesty or Fogeo Beach, several local providers offer guided activities for children and adults. It's a fun way to explore the Gulf's calm waters. 

👉 Back at the hotel, treat yourself to a relaxing break in our private wellness area with spa and sauna — the perfect way to recharge after a sporty day.
 

🌊 Day 6: Off to Quiberon, Carnac and Auray 

For your sixth day, explore some iconic gems of Morbihan, just about an hour from Arzon. Begin at the Quiberon Peninsula, famous for its wild coast: dramatic cliffs pounded by the Atlantic and scenic trails ideal for a coastal hike. Then, stroll through lively, typically Breton Quiberon town or relax on its family-friendly beaches. Next, head to Carnac, world-renowned for its standing stone alignments. This exceptional megalithic site amazes both young and old, and also features a museum for a deeper dive into its history. The town of Carnac itself is perfect for a terrace lunch or a sweet treat. End the day in Auray, meandering through its historic cobbled streets before heading to Saint-Goustan port — one of the most picturesque in Morbihan. Enjoy a drink or dinner by the water in a charming and authentic setting.
 

🍽️ Day 7: Local Flavors & Relaxation 

Wrap up your week with a delicious meal on one of Port du Crouesty’s restaurant terraces. Seafood, Breton galettes, local cider... Breton cuisine is generous, simple, and full of flavor. Before heading home, take a final stroll or dip at the Pointe de Penvins. A last peaceful moment to reflect on a week full of beautiful memories.
