Take advantage of your holiday as a chance for a trip on the Ile de Bréhat island, dubbed the ‘Island of Flowers’. A direct crossing leaves from Erquy and the island can be visited on foot or by bike. A paradise for hikers and refuge for artists, the archipelago has many enthusiasts. With its short heathland, pink granite rocks, in-bloom gardens, old stone houses and the blue of the sea, colour is everywhere! Unmissable!
