Carnac and its beach in the city center
The first features of the seaside resort of Carnac take shape at the beginning of the 20th century, very close to the bay of Quiberon. Nestled in a setting formed by the Gulf of Morbihan, the Grande Plage attracts and is then punctuated by opulent villas. It thus forged a reputation as a nugget of southern Brittany, constantly radiating beyond the borders of the region. And for good reason, tourists and residents of Carnac flock there to tread its two kilometers of fine sand facing due south and admire the superb panorama. The typical striped cabins give it its legendary charm, which we inevitably succumb to!
Between calm and beauty, this vast beach, awarded the Blue Flag eco-label, is ideally located a few minutes by bike from the town centre. The bars, restaurants and shops in the heart of Carnac await onlookers between two dives. Peacefully end your salty day with a convivial dinner on the terrace in the medieval town.
