Audierne

Audierne, a small municipality in the département of Finistère, 32km from Quimper and a small distance from the Pointe du Raz and the île de Sein, offers holidays makers the charm of a small fishing port with a dynamic character, with its lively docks and its streets with old stone on the hillside.

With its large fine sandy beach of Trescadec and its picturesque fishing port, Audierne brings together all the joys of a seaside resort, to share as a family or among friends: a beach club, water sports clubs (rowing, canoë-kayak, surfing, sea fishing, scuba diving, etc.).

The coastal path which stretches over 4.5km, gives you the chance to discover the diversity of a maritime estuary with its wild valleys, its tides changing the landscapes as the hours pass, and the port of Audierne, in the heart of the town, where the traces of history can be seen in the architecture and the landscape (dolmens, graves and neolithic tumulus ).

In the port, the large market offers you a choice of regional produce which makes Breton gastronomy famous: crêpes and biscuits, jams and soft fruits, "pie noire" cow's cheese, organic breads, fish and shellfish, as well as local craft products.

In July and in August, the streets of the little fishing port of Audierne take on a festive character thanks to the craft night market.

In Audierne, the tourist visits and leisure activities satisfy all tastes and ages: theAquashow, sea bird show, the maritime museum and its 2000 years of history, its seamanship workshop where you learn to make nautical knots, a walk on the île de Sein departing from Sainte Evette, the Passerelle des Capucins footbridge, previously called "le petit pont de bois " (the little wooden bridge).

10 mins. from the Pointe du Raz, Aquacap offers you a sporting and fun pool, with counter current swimming, whirl beds, geysers, a 50m slide, paddling pool with jets, a wellness area with sauna, jacuzzi and solarium. (Swimming courses from 3 years old)
