Glénan Islands
A campsite facing the Glénan Islands: an exceptional stay in Brittany
Although located just one hour by boat from the mainland, the Glénan Islands offer a true change of scenery. Staying at our campsite near the Glénan archipelago gives you the chance to experience fine sandy beaches and striking emerald waters — landscapes that often feel closer to the Caribbean than to Brittany.
The Glénan archipelago is made up of a chain of islands, islets and rocky outcrops, each with its own identity. To the east, Penfret is home to a lighthouse and a former semaphore station. Loch, the largest island, is recognisable by its chimney. Nearby, Cigogne with its fort, as well as Drenec, Bananec, Guéotec and Saint-Nicolas complete this remarkable natural setting. Whether by passenger boat, traditional sailing boat or kayak, you can explore the islands at your own pace and according to your preferences.
