Episode of Quiberon

Tomo&Chouchou went to Quiberon where is popular resort for summer in Brittany [Bretagne] in France. There are trains which go until Quiberon in summer. But during the off-season, the train doesn't run until Quiberon. So we rented a car in Lorient to go to Quiberon. It took about one hour from Lorient to Quiberon by car. 

Quiberon is the entrance to go to Belle Isle [Belle-île-en-Mer] where is the biggest island in Brittany [Bretagne]. In summer, there are so many people on the beach. But in winter, the beach is empty and you can walk along the beach freely.

As soon as we approached to Quiberon, we could see the Atlantic Ocean.
While driving, we saw the sign of "Côte Sauvage". So we decided to follow it. We could see the Breton coastline and big ocean from the car window. It was so wonderful to see such a scenery, so we decided to get off the car to see it without windows and to feel it more! We were right. We could feel nature with our five senses; salty smell of the sea, fresh and comfortable sea breeze, sound of the Atlantic ocean, the bright sunlight and so on. It was worth stopping by Wild Coast [Côte Sauvage].

Actually we came to Quiberon to take a boat to Belle Isle [Belle-île-en-Mer]. We didn't expect such a beautiful landscape. We really enjoyed Breton beach, the ocean and the landscape in Quiberon!

Tomo & Chouchou's advices for Quiberon

1) Wild Coast [Côte Sauvage] is the best place to see the beach in Brittany.
You can enjoy Côte Sauvage while driving. But we highly recommend you to do trekking along the coast if you have enough time and enough energy.

2)We recommended to visit the cannery called "La Belle-Iloise". La Belle-Iloise is a famous maker for oil sardine in Brittany. La Belle-Iloise makes many varieties of canned foods such as sardine, mackerel, salmon, mousse of seafood, soup of seafood. They are good souvenir gifts from Brittany.
