The family resort of Bénodet exemplifies everything you think about Brittany. Located at the mouth of the river Odet, Bénodet is on the Finistère Coastline.

It is one of the most popular port towns in the region and has a family friendly sandy beach, with amusements for children and beachside nurseries as well as plenty of rocky coves and quieter beaches to explore nearby.

Visitors should not miss out on a trip to the lighthouse for the best views around the coast and of the offshore islands.

Another popular trip from Bénodet is a boat trip to visit the Glénan Islands. Both the presence of a shallow seabed and the availability of a glass bottom catamaran have made this a very unique experience.

For those who are more sports oriented, go to Trez beach to use pedal-boats, sea-kayaks, windsurfs and catamarans.

Highlights

Cruise on the Odet Valley: Take a cruise up the peaceful river Odet towards Quimper and enjoy a gourmet meal with seafood, a typical dish of Bénodet.

Historic wealth of the town: Beyond the ocean and the beaches, there are also monuments to visit like the Menhirs, St Thomas Becket Church (13th century), Notre Dame de la Mer Church and Perguet Chapel devoted to Sainte Brigitte (Irish) as well as two typical beacons of the area: Pyramide and Coq.
