Bed and breakfast in Carnac

The charm of a Morbihan seaside resort

Surrounded by the communes of Plouarnel and Ploemel, Carnac enjoys a privileged position between the peninsula of Quiberon and the Gulf of Morbihan. It has a fairly vast territory and is largely occupied by forest and moorland. Its reputation is largely due to its many menhirs. No doubt you've also heard of its beautiful stretches of sand! They attract water sports enthusiasts and offer an idyllic setting for those looking for a change of scenery. During your holiday, you'll succumb to a number of Breton culinary delights. The people of Morbihan, for example, serve up a range of seafood such as curry, scallops and Breton prawns. You'll also get great pleasure from discovering godaille, an exquisite fish speciality, or eating a slice of kouign-amann. This sweet delicacy, popular in Brittany, is appreciated for its melt-in-the-mouth texture and caramelised flavour. It is often eaten with cider.
