The White Sea is a crystal-clear lagoon that changes colour with the tides and the seasons. At the end of the day, the sky takes on warm hues that reflect off the water, creating a magical atmosphere. An ideal spot for a contemplative break with your feet in the sand.

#3 Port-La-Forêt a charming port of call

This marina, one of the most famous in Brittany, is a great place to watch the sun set. From the promenade that runs alongside the pontoons or from the nearby Kerleven beach, you can enjoy a splendid view of the sea and the silhouettes of the sailing ships on the horizon.

#4 The Glénan archipelago a sunset at the end of the world

For an unforgettable experience, set sail for Les Glénan and marvel at the spectacle of the sun plunging into the ocean. On these paradise islands, where the white sand and turquoise water are reminiscent of tropical lagoons, the sunset takes on a magical, timeless dimension.

#5 The mouth of the Odet at Bénodet between land and sea

In Bénodet, the mouth of the Odet offers an exceptional setting where the river meets the ocean. From the corniche or at the foot of the Coq lighthouse, you can witness a unique spectacle where the golden reflections of the setting sun illuminate both the calm waters of the Odet and the bay of Bénodet. It’s the perfect place to capture the beauty of the Breton landscape at dusk.
