The place to beach*
When Brittany sets sail and the sea always has something to say. Our advice: put on your sneakers, breathe in the sea air, and see where the wind takes you (often to Pointe du Raz!).
Stroll around the port, watch the boats return from fishing, taste the local crêpes or oysters, and let yourself be lulled by the lapping waves of the Goyen. Lovers of the great outdoors will head for the GR34, the legendary trail that runs along the coast to the end of the world.
In Audierne, the sea is everywhere: in the eyes of the locals, on their plates, and in the stories they'll tell you as you wander through the narrow streets. A simple, authentic, and lively destination—in short, 100% Brittany, 0% artifice.
