Ideas for free activities with children on the Breton Riviera

It’s possible to have fun without spending money!
On holiday or at the weekend, we’re often looking for simple, fun and free ideas to keep the kids occupied, so here are a few good ideas to share with the whole family. Playgrounds, shows, interactive walks, treasure hunts… we’ve selected some free activities for you to enjoy with your curious little ones (and grown-ups).

#1 Play areas

Want to let the kids loose between visits? There are plenty of outdoor play areas dotted around the region, freely accessible all year round. Slides, swings, courses, huts… there’s something for all ages!

In Bénodet, Fouesnant, La Forêt-Fouesnant, Saint-Évarzec and Gouesnac’h, each commune offers play areas set in pleasant surroundings, sometimes right on the seafront or next to a footpath.

#2 The booklet-game La Forêt-Fouesnant

A fun walk through the town’s heritage

Set off on an adventure in the heart of the market town of La Forêt-Fouesnant with the “L’Anse de La Forêt” booklet-game! For around 45 minutes, children can discover the town’s emblematic buildings and hidden spots, while having fun solving riddles.

📅 Available free of charge all year round from La Forêt-Fouesnant Tourist Office.
