The River Odet, the Breton Beauty

Sailing on the Odet on board the "Vedettes de l'Odet" is like leafing through a book of history, fauna and flora, illustrated with a few legends distilled along the way. Comfortably installed on the upper deck or in the panoramic lounge, "the prettiest river in France" offers a mysterious and natural landscape, revealing here and there castles and manors, egrets and grey herons. The Odet has been the place of residence of illustrious authors: Emile Zola and Jean de la Fontaine came to soak up the banks of the Odet to write their works. You will travel along the river with a guide who is passionate about the natural and maritime heritage of Cornouaille: a must!
Loopik, an adorable little tern, accompanies your children through a booklet of games offered to all children from 3 to 12 years. A family outing based on playful discovery!
 
Embarquement depuis Bénodet, station balnéaire de la Cornouaille. L’occasion de compléter votre croisière par la visite de Bénodet. Le vieux port, le front de mer, la pointe St Gilles, l »embouchure de l’Odet avec Sainte Marine sur la rive droite. Une ambiance familiale décontractée avec les terrasses de cafés restaurants, le glacier, le centre de thalasso, le cinéma, le musée du bord de mer et le petit train qui vous conduira à travers Bénodet ! 

 

The Glénan Islands, the Breton Lagoon

Located only an hour's sail from the mainland, the Glénan archipelago and its string of islets offer a surprising spectacle of nature in its purest form. Stretches of fine white sandy beaches, emerald-green sea, nesting seabirds, jealously guarded sea beds: paradise is here!

During your stopover on the island of Saint Nicolas, reputed to be the capital of the archipelago, you will enjoy the tranquillity of the place by taking a walk. You will appreciate the beauty of the island before settling on a beach for a picnic or a swim in clear waters.

In the afternoon, you can embark on a boat for the great "discovery of the archipelago". Accompanied by a guide, you will sail through the archipelago, getting to know all the islands up close and personal. Sailing, fishing, fauna, flora and historical anecdotes will no longer hold any secrets for you!
 
À bord du « Capitaine Némo », le catamaran à vision sous marine, vous plongez dans le monde merveilleux du silence où poissons, crustacés et étoiles de mer se cachent parmi les hymantales, ces étranges algues qui ressemblent à des cheveux de sirène. Et pour faire de ce voyage une véritable expérience pédagogique, un passionné du monde aquatique vous accompagne.

The more sporty will navigate the archipelago on their own with the "Sea Kayak Escapade" formula. The seven main islands and numerous islets offer a multitude of excursions. The Chambre des Glénan, a sheltered inland sea, has become a landmark for kayakers.

Ou bien profitez encore d’une croisière sans escale à bord de l’Argos pour découvrir les Moutons et les Glénan sur une matinée ou un après-midi. Confortablement installé, le bateau accueille ses 12 passagers pour une expérience unique aux îles Glénan : observez la faune et la flore, découvrez l’histoire de l’archipel.  

 

La Baie de Concarneau, la Ville Bleue du bout des yeux !

You know the walled city and its ramparts, Concarneau's famous monument, but have you ever seen it from the sea? Come aboard the fishing port of Concarneau for a guided tour on board the Vedettes de l'Odet. The cruise begins with a visit to the fishing port and continues with a tour of the port infrastructure of Concarneau. Shipyards and dry docks, fishmongers and of course the fish auction where fish is sold.

To give you an overview of the bay of Concarneau, the boat sets sail for a breath of fresh air. A 180° panorama of the ocean opens up before you. To the west, the tip of Beg Meil. To the east, the Pointe du Cabellou. You walk along the coast passing by the cove of Kersaux which shelters a few yachtsmen and the point of Cabellou before returning by the cornice where the chapel of the Cross rubs shoulders with the old private mansions and the modern constructions.

From May to mid-September, set sail from Concarneau to the charming little port of Beg Meil in the commune of Fouesnant. At the other end of the bay, stop off in the small seaside resort with a taste of holiday!
