We’ve just had a week at Carnac. Visited Concarneau on a previous visit when we were staying in that area. I wouldn’t bother making a trip from Carnac. There’s plenty closer by to see.
This week we have cycled a lot but my DC are teens so easier. The Carnac beaches are sheltered and lovely for a swim. Lots of ice cream and food places around. Cycle hire as well, you could hire a 4 wheel cycle and explore the promenade which is flat.
We had a great day in Vannes on a rainy day. Auray is a town close by and gorgeous, recommended. The area by the river looks like something out of a Disney film, cute half timbered houses. We had a lovely lunch at the Armoric restaurant.
The Quiberon peninsula is worth a look. At the top of the peninsula on the West side is a fabulous beach with soft sand. West facing with waves. Free easy parking. At the bottom of the peninsula Quiberon itself is lovely with a sheltered sandy beach. Lots of shops and cafes down there.
Worth checking out the Carnac stones. We did a 40 minute open top bus tour which was cheesy but fun and gave us an overview. We returned later on our bikes for another visit. You can park at The House of Megaliths which is free and has information and maps of the area. Tours of the stones start from there.
You can do boat visits to various islands but we didn’t for one because we were too busy doing other things. What we loved is that we didn’t have to travel far to fill out time. Lots to see and do in the Carnac area.
We’ve been to Brittany several times but this was our best ever visit. Loved the area.
