The Biketour in Southern Brittany takes you to one of France’s most enchanting coastal regions – the stunning Gulf of Morbihan. Between the Atlantic Ocean, peaceful inlets and scattered islands, this cycling holiday combines maritime scenery with Breton heritage and relaxed daily stages. Your journey begins in the medieval town of Vannes, known for its ramparts and lively marina. From here, quiet coastal paths and small country roads lead you across the Rhuys Peninsula towards Arzon and the charming harbour town of Auray with its historic Saint-Goustan quarter. Boat crossings to the islands of Île d’Arz and Île aux Moines add a special touch to this tour, offering sandy coves, peaceful cycling routes and ever-changing sea views. Highlights also include the picturesque fishing ports and the famous megalithic stone alignments of Carnac. This cycling tour is perfect for active travellers who wish to experience coastal landscapes, cultural heritage and the unique atmosphere of Brittany by bike.
