Treat yourself to the Gulf Islands
A change of scenery in the middle of the Gulf of Morbihan
A haven for wildlife, islanders, artists and vacationers alike, the islands of the Golfe du Morbihan have fascinated visitors for centuries.
Holidaymakers come to explore every nook and cranny of these marvellous gulf islands in search of a change of scenery, peace and unspoilt nature.
Legend has it that there are as many islands in the Gulf as there are days in the year!
In fact, according to the cadastral map, there are some forty islands!
Legend or not, the magic works on every one of them! All you have to do is spend an afternoon discovering them, whether by taking a boat from the port of Vannes or Port-Navalo, and let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of the scenery and the tranquility that reigns here.
Is it the sun's rays reverberating off this mirror of water where the Gulf islands float that give the islanders their joie de vivre and beaming smiles? It's up to you to draw your own conclusions, but don't forget your sun cream!
