From the Le Celtique hotel in Morbihan, located a few hundred metres from the Grande Plage, you will enjoy a privileged location for visiting this diverse region. Our family-friendly establishment is waiting for you, so pack your bags!

1. Travel back in time to discover the menhirs

Welcome to the land of standing stones! Take your whole family on a journey through history to discover one of the most enchanting prehistoric sites... The 3,000 menhirs aligned at Carnac form the largest megalithic complex in the world. Nothing less! This 6,500-year-old site will immerse you in a magical world between myth and reality. Your children will love making up stories about these immovable giants.

In summer, don't miss the family guided tours, archaeological workshops and fun trails offered by the Megaliths site: cultural activities that bring history to life.

2. Enjoy de beach in peace

Still wondering what to do in Brittany with your family to enjoy the sea air? In Carnac, the five beaches are not just a picture-postcard setting: they are a real open-air playground. Fine sand, shallow water, lifeguards in summer... everything is in place to reassure parents and delight children. The Grande Plage, 2 kilometres long, is just a stone's throw from the Le Celtique hotel and is perfect for spending time by the water in complete safety. Building sandcastles, playing racket games, invigorating swims and relaxing in the sun punctuate the days of the little tribes who come to enjoy this corner of Breton paradise.

3. Try your hand at water sports

Want to add a little action? From March to November, Carnac becomes a real seaside resort, ideal for discovering the joys of water sports: windsurfing, surf schools, paddleboard and kayak rentals will delight the whole family. Whether you want to go it alone or be supervised by an instructor, whatever your level or age, you are sure to find the option that best suits your needs. These outdoor sports activities are a great opportunity to get together and create unforgettable memories, with your feet in the water.

4. Explore the coastal paths with your family

You don't need to be a keen hiker to enjoy the Breton countryside. Around Carnac, there are many accessible trails for lovely family walks. The GR34, known as the customs officers' trail, runs along the sea and offers breathtaking views of the islands and the rugged coastline. Enjoy it to the full! In town, along the beaches, the coastal path has been designed for young parents with pushchairs or toddlers. It's a great opportunity to get some exercise in the fresh air and breathe in the sea air.

5. Take a relaxing break at the Hôtel Celtique & Spa

• The rooms: after a busy morning, a little rest is in order, and there's nothing like finding a cocoon perfectly suited to your needs. At the Hotel Le Celtique, we've thought of everything: connecting rooms or family rooms with a parent area. Ideal for a little nap, isn't it?
• The spa: And in the afternoon, why not enjoy our 650m² wellness area? A 100% family-friendly place: the heated indoor pool welcomes children under supervision and we even offer treatments suitable for children (aged 3 and above) so that the whole family can enjoy the pleasures of relaxation! For some time just for you, choose the privacy of our 45m² ‘spa suite’, which can be entirely privatised and features a hammam, sauna, massage tables and a lounge with herbal teas.

7. Set off on an adventure to the islands or the peninsula

Wondering what to do in Brittany with your family to add some variety to your stay in Carnac? Treat yourself to a family getaway to the Quiberon peninsula or the offshore islands.

It's the perfect opportunity for an accessible mini-adventure, with breathtaking landscapes and a taste of the end of the world.

8. A family restaurant?

After a busy day or to round off your stay, why not opt for a family restaurant? At Le Cairn restaurant, the whole family can get together to share a good meal of Breton specialities, without even leaving the hotel! Adults can enjoy refined cuisine inspired by local produce, while children can enjoy balanced menus designed especially for them.
