Mor Bihan: Little Sea in Breton
Sheltered from the swell in Southern Brittany, the Gulf of Morbihan is a veritable little inland sea. It's a magical place where sea, land and sky combine to create changing, unusual landscapes. The Golfe du Morbihan is a member of the Club des Plus Belles Baies du Monde.
The "Mor-Bihan", or "little sea" in Breton, was invaded by the Atlantic several millennia ago, by which time the rivers had already carved out their beds. That's why the ocean ventures so far inland, towards Vannes and Auray, through rias with their typically Breton character. archipelago Île aux Moines, Île d'Arz, countless islets and islets, rocky or wooded, sometimes home to a fishing hamlet or simply a flock of birds.
Only a kilometre-wide gully between Port-Navalo in Arzon and Locmariaquer separates the "Mor-Bihan" from the ocean.
