Just 10 minutes by boat from the mainland lies a true Breton oasis. Thanks to its unique microclimate, exotic plants thrive just a few meters away from breathtaking pink granite landscapes. In short, it’s the perfect spot to take a real break this summer.
The Sweetness of Breton Living
Made up of two islands connected by a small stone bridge, Brehat can only be explored on foot or by bike. When you arrive, what will strike you first are the silence and the peaceful atmosphere. But the absence of cars isn't the only surprise this place has in store for you. As you wander through the narrow streets or along the dirt paths by the sea, you will discover a rich and colorful vegetation: hydrangeas, eucalyptus, agapanthus, palms, and many more exotic plants coexist on the island of flowers.

After such a lovely walk, it’s only natural to recharge! And why not do it in one of the 12 restaurants on the island? You can savor delicious, fresh, and local seafood at the restaurant Le 22, or enjoy some delightful buckwheat pancakes at the crêperie Moutik. All while sipping a refreshing glass of cider… Pure bliss!

Wild landscapes and a raw heritage to explore
As you venture north, the scenery transforms completely, revealing wild moors and stunning secret coves. The highlight of the show is at the very tip of the island: the legendary Peacock Lighthouse. Nestled among an incredible chaos of pink granite rocks, it provides a unique panorama where the stones seem to ignite at sunset. An absolutely unmatched spectacle.
