Arzon walks

From the small village of Arzon, the route is punctuated by passages through streets and alleys lined with fishermen's houses and other gardens of beautiful residences, as well as coastal paths. From the Bilgroix and Monténo headlands, there are beautiful views of the islands nestled in the Gulf of Morbihan. A family walk, without too much difficulty.

From Port Navalo to the outskirts of Île-aux-Moines, the northern coastline of the Rhuys Peninsula is dotted with points that jut out into the sea like the teeth of a jaw. Together with the islands opposite them, these points tear apart the waves entering and leaving the Gulf of Morbihan. The result is a spectacular sight when the power of the tide transforms the calm waters into a mighty river. Let yourself be guided along the coastal path and keep your eyes peeled!

The Petit Mont peninsula, near the port of Crouesty, is home to a large tumulus. This is a walk that can take up half a day, offering a mix of the opulence and modernity of the marina, the wildness of the rocky coast, the laid-back atmosphere of the large Plage du Fogeo, and the spiritual presence of 6,000 years of human history embodied in this large pile of stones with a complex history.

In Arzon, the must-do activity is to hike along the path that winds its way along the headlands that close off the southern entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan, but connecting the Petite Mer to the ocean is also charming and allows you to compare the intimacy of the Gulf with the majestic panorama of Mor Braz and the islands that border it on the horizon.

The Gulf of Morbihan is said to have around sixty islands, but let’s not forget it also boasts a multitude of peninsulas.
