Looking for a holiday in a dream setting, where white sand blends with turquoise and crystalline water ? For that, no need to take a plane ticket and cross the oceans, you just have to go to Fouesnant. Fouesnant is a municipality in Finistère, on the Cornish coast, about fifteen kilometres from Quimper. Rich with an exceptional natural heritage, the commune offers its visitors unforgettable panoramas and breathtaking discoveries, notably thanks to the famous Glénan archipelago.
The seaside resort of Fouesnant is grouped under the name "Riviera Bretonne" with the communes of La Forêt-Fouesnant (to the east) and Bénodet (to the west), and it is quite naturally that it meets a great success with holidaymakers every year. A popular seaside destination for many years, it is home to some of the most beautiful homes on the coast, spread out over Cap Coz and Beg Meil. Open to the four winds, Fouesnant fits all your desires, whether you are rather fond of idleness or on the contrary, a great sportsman. Alternating fine sandy beaches, sumptuous coves and pine woods on 13 kilometres of white sand, the Fouesnant coastline will certainly satisfy all your desires. Dive into its clear waters and let yourself be carried away by the gentle sound of the waves for moments of calm on its heavenly coves worthy of the most beautiful postcards. Lovers of wide open spaces will head for "Kerler Beach". Stretching down a long gentle slope, it offers a breathtaking view of the Glénan archipelago. Bordered by oyats, the "plage des Dunes" is also worth seeing. Families often set their sights on the beaches of Maner Coat Clevarec and Kerambigorn (3.5 km long), popular for their outdoor activities ranging from beach soccer to beach volleyball and racquet sports. Lovers of tranquility and spaces of rare beauty ? Open your parasol on one of the many coves along the Fouesnant coast. Under the sweet names of "Crique de la Roche Percée", "Crique de Lantecoste" or "Crique des Oiseaux", they all offer a magnificent setting for relaxing moments away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown beaches (although still very pleasant). If these coves are so little frequented, it is also because to reach them, you will sometimes have to make some small efforts, on foot, by boat or by bicycle. To have the opportunity to discover all the beaches of Fouesnant, we advise you to take the coastal path, an obligatory excursion to capture all the least secrets of this so pretty seaside resort. As for hiking, the GR 34 runs for 17 kilometres from Beg-Meil to Cap-Coz via the Natura 2000 classified Mousterlin polder, Penfoulic cove, the lagoon of the White Sea, the dunes and the Pointe de Mousterlin (and its marshes), offering courageous walkers splendid landscapes on the turquoise bay of the Forest, the sublime ocean and the beautiful old houses hidden in the pine forest. But the customs trail is not the only superb route since the Pays Fouesnantais is traversed by more than 250 kilometers of paths through a mosaic of unforgettable landscapes.
Fouesnant, it is a flood of activities on land but also at sea, ideal for young and old. Freshwater sailors in search of dream landscapes ? Head for the Glénan Archipelago. Made up of a dozen islands lulled by the clearest water in Brittany, enchanting lagoons and an ever radiant sun, the Glénan is a paradise destination where sparkling sand and unspoilt nature come together in harmony to compose one of the most sublime landscapes of the Breton coast. Only one hour by boat from Fouesnant, the Glénan archipelago is thus one of the inevitable of your stay. The time of an afternoon, a day or more, aboard an old rig, a sailboat, a catamaran or a launch, the crossing as much as the idleness on the islands and the discovery of the natural heritage of this site classified Natura 2000 promises beautiful memories our good advice, do not forget to take your camera ! You will be able to immortalize amazing sunsets, both from the sand and from a sea kayak, perfect means of locomotion to discover the islands. Finally, back on the beaches of Fouesnant, there again the activities are numerous : you will be able to initiate you to sailing, surfing, sea fishing, stand-up paddle, sand yachting, water walking, flyboard or jet-ski.

If you go to the Glénans archipelago, choose the 1pm departure because there is not much to do on the island and as the return is only at 17:00 it's a bit long.
