Here, luxury speaks softly — in clear lines, sea horizons, and living craftsmanship.
In two days, you can sample the very best of the Rhuys Peninsula — shores, islands, and marshlands — with that rare feeling of time perfectly in hand.

Day 1 — Coastlines, Sea Flavours & Heritage
Morning — Breathing the Coast
Head for the ocean side: a long beach for an easy stride, or more intimate coves if you prefer curves to panoramas. Clear light, just enough wind, and the mind clears with every step.
Fogeo Beach (Kerjouanno, Arzon) — A wide, pristine stretch for a good warm-up, with a sailing club and park nearby.
Pointe de Penvins & Notre-Dame-de-la-Côte Chapel (Sarzeau) — A photogenic headland, wide-open views over the Bay of Quiberon.
Midday — Oysters, Pure and Simple
At a local oyster farmer’s: a plate straight from the tide, a precise hint of iodine, a glass of local white. Zero-kilometre perfection.
Les Parcs du Scluze – La Cabane à Milo (Sarzeau) — A terrace right on the water, tasting menu according to the season.
Équinoxe – Oyster Tasting (Logeo, Sarzeau) — Feet-in-the-water shack at the oyster beds, full Gulf view.
Afternoon — Heritage in Light and Shadow
The Suscinio Estate and Marshes: wading birds, salt air, reeds and woods — a piece of Brittany that still breathes.In rougher weather, head for Petit-Mont Cairn (Arzon), a fine lesson in deep time.Finish along the Port-Navalo coastline — sunset on the estuary, or a boat return if you’ve spent the day on the islands.Info: Port-Navalo harbour & travel office, Rue du Général-de-Gaulle, 56640 Arzon.
Evening — Author’s Table
Seasonal menu, honest cooking, local produce, perfect cuisson. Elegance without emphasis; a well-chosen food-and-wine pairing makes all the difference.
Day 2 — Islands, Golf & Horizons
Morning — The Gulf Islands
Ferry to Île-aux-Moines or Île d’Arz: slow bikes, stone walls, peninsulas and inlets. The eyes rest; so do the shoulders.
Midday — Light Lunch
Back on shore, a seaside table: market vegetables, the day’s fish, a short sauce. Leave room for the afternoon.
Afternoon — Courses & Perspectives
Rhuys-Kerver Golf Course for those who like a good trajectory; for others, an easy walk along the coastal path, broad views guaranteed.End the day at Port-Navalo, golden light over the estuary — a classic that needs no caption.
Depending on Weather / Mood
Bright skies: Islands + linear coastal walk, return by shuttle.Changeable: Marshes + museums or heritage stops, tea-room breaks.Strong wind: Wooded golf course or sheltered coves on the Gulf side.
Practical Notes
Short distances: Most sights are within 15–25 minutes by car.Seasons: Winter magnifies marshes and tables; spring suits the islands; autumn is made for long walks.Bookings: Oyster shacks and good tables should be reserved, especially weekends and holidays.Soft mobility: Bikes on site, ferry lines to the islands — travel light.
