View itineraryJust minutes from your accommodation at Yelloh! Village L'Atlantique, Fouesnant is the perfect destination to experience the authentic charm of South Brittany. From breathtaking coastal landscapes to rich local traditions, discover the highlights of your holiday.
La pointe de Mousterlin
Mousterlin headland is surrounded by the most amazing scenery. This geographical formation is unique in France. To the west, the natural lagoon near the “White Sea” runs to Benodet, along a beach, cut off from the world.
To the east, man closed the doors where the flow once formed a vast polder of meadows, ponds and reedbeds.
Intimate charm of Beg-Meil
The mill which gave its Breton name to the rocky headland disappeared. It was replaced by a semaphore, also perched on top of a dune overlooking the ocean. From the headland to the village, the coast is divided into tiny coves and beaches sheltered from the swell and winds from the west.
Summer residents built beautiful villas along the coastal path, which offers the most beautiful walks.
Cap-Coz and Penfoulic cove in Fouesnant
Between pine trees and the bay, the sandspit of "Cap Coz" forms a large estuary where the marshes rush. On one side of the isthmus, beaches stretch under the trees, with their quiet terraces.
On the other side, the fascinating foreshore: sometimes the shells float and birds fly above the Penfoulic cove, sometimes the tide goes out and the boats run aground.
Penfoulic woods, between Fouesnant and Cap-Coz, is a great place to explore the woodlands, plants, smells and birdlife. Pathway adapted for the disabled (visual, motor, auditive, mental disabilities).
Glénan islands
Set sail to the Glénan islands. Perched on the beacons, the cormorants watch us pass. Half-way across, we pass Ile des Moutons, standing proudly with its square lighthouse. Past Guiriden and Penfret before entering the archipelago lagoon. They say the water is the clearest in Brittany. The boats seem to have given the word, as they gather and sail over “maerl” beds. They seem to fly in a crystal sky.
The name “Glénan” comes from the Breton word "Glein" which means "clear".
