Pack your most beautiful maternity swimsuits, as we share our favourite spots and destinations for a day, a weekend or longer in Brittany!

 


A day in Brittany

If you are passing through our region during your holiday but only have one day, do not hesitate: set off to discover our islands and peninsulas. At the top of the list is the magnificent Glénan archipelago, just off the coast of Concarneau. Seven idyllic islets with white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters welcome you for the day. The perfect place to wear a beautiful maternity bikini.

 

Boats departing from Concarneau, Loctudy, Bénodet and other ports will take you to the main island, Saint-Nicolas. Explore the island on a guided tour or go for a hike to its highest point for breathtaking views of the coastline. Finish your day with an introduction to scuba diving at the international diving centre and discover the incredible underwater world.

 

A weekend in Brittany

Carnac is the ideal place to spend a weekend in our beautiful region. Combining history, culture and relaxation, this stretch of coastline is one of the sunniest in Brittany, with more than 2,000 hours of sunshine a year. Admire the 4,000 standing stones scattered across the landscape, one of the most impressive concentrations of megaliths in the world!

 

This summer, the stones light up at night thanks to Skedanoz, a spectacular evening light show. To learn more about these remarkable alignments, visit the Prehistory Museum for a cultural morning.

After tasting oysters at the Anse du Pô and visiting the oyster farms, get active with one of the region’s many sporting activities, such as treetop adventure courses or paddleboard yoga. Enjoy the town’s white sandy beaches and why not stop by a thalassotherapy centre to relax before heading home.

 


A week in Brittany

There are countless things to do if you are spending a week in Brittany, from sightseeing and festivals to local food tastings. In August, stop in Lorient and enjoy the Festival Interceltique, a spectacular event celebrating the exceptional heritage of Brittany and the Celtic nations through music, dance, gastronomy and history. A whole week to immerse yourself in the sounds of bombards and Breton bagpipes!

Lorient is also home to the Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly, where you can experience an extraordinary ocean adventure.

 

Then head towards Concarneau, a town rich in history and art, and explore the Ville Close, set beside one of Brittany’s most beautiful bays. Stroll along the seafront to Sables Blancs beach or wander down towards the harbour. You may even be lucky enough to see the fishing boats return in the evening and watch the day’s catch being unloaded.

And if you still have a little time during your stay, unpack your bags in Crozon and discover Morgat beach, one of the most beautiful in Europe, where you can sunbathe as well as enjoy sailing or surfing at the water sports centre.
