In a few words

From Lorient , embark on a coastal adventure in the heart of authentic and wild Brittany . This tour takes you from Port-Louis , a former stronghold on the maritime routes to India, to the soothing landscapes of the Gâvres peninsula , nestled between moors and ocean horizons. Next, you set sail for the island of Groix , an island gem with spectacular cliffs , golden sandy beaches, and a preserved atmosphere. The Étel estuary then reveals its treasures, with a stopover in Saint-Cado , a small islet steeped in tranquility and tradition, before admiring the natural power of the Barre d'Étel , a unique phenomenon where the sea and the river collide. The trip concludes with a second crossing to Groix , to further explore its cultural and natural riches and enjoy its island charm one last time. An accessible and scenic route, ideal for immersing yourself in the Breton spirit through its iconic places , between land and sea.
