Quiberon
The Quiberon peninsula is on the southern side of Finistère, near Carnac. It is 14km long, and connected to mainland france only by a bank of sand. Entrance to the peninsula is overseen by the 19th century Fort de Penthièvre.
Quiberon is a very popular seaside resort in the summer, and has some attractive beaches on the sheltered eastern coast.
The western coast is altogether more dramatic and a popular site for water sports, especially surfing and sailing. It is best explored on foot, passing if possible by Kervihan, kerné and Kerniscop for some of the most dramatic scenery.
Pointe de Percho, beyond Pontivy at the north-west of the peninsula, is well worth visiting for the views across to the islands of Belle-Ile and Groix.
On the other side of the peninsula, at St-Pierre-de-Quiberon, there are some menhirs to visit (the town lies at the southern end of the 'Coast of megaliths' which runs down from Carnac to the north).
Ferries to Belle-ile leave from the port in Quiberon, at the southern end of the island - even if you are not taking a ferry it is worth taking a wander round the pretty port.
