Gîtes in Ushant

Discover Ouessant and the surrounding area on holiday

For your next holiday in Brittany, let Finistère tempt you! Whether as a couple, a family or with friends, make the most of a stay in a Clévacances gîte to discover the island of Ouessant, its historical heritage and the activities to do in the heart of the island or nearby. Nature is omnipresent on the island, but Ouessant also has a small, relatively lively market town called Lampaul, which is well worth a visit. Here you can see the famous leaning house and buy a few souvenirs. At the Pointe de Pern, the tip of mainland France, you'll feel as if you're alone against the elements when the wind blows in off the coast for most of the year. During your stay, we also recommend you take a look at the cliffs at the tip of Kadoran, and stop off at the port at the tip of Penn Arlan. Feeling like you're on the other side of the world doesn't mean you have to put up with spartan accommodation. In other words, you'll have no trouble finding a gîte close to the Ile d'Ouessant. Whether you're looking for a comfortably furnished and equipped flat or house in which you and your loved ones will feel perfectly at home. The maritime heritage of this destination should be fully appreciated. To do so, you should explore the island's lighthouses, Le Stiff and Le Créac'h. The Musée des Phares et Balises (Lighthouses and Beacons Museum), dedicated to the history of maritime signalling, stands at the foot of the latter. Other buildings steeped in history include the not-to-be-missed Run Glaz and Karaes mills, which are not to be missed on your holiday! As you can see, the island of Ushant and all its riches are just waiting to be discovered! For one night or a longer stay, at the weekend or during the week, take advantage of our gites ideally located near Ouessant and come and discover Brittany's small island.

Activities to do near Ouessant during your holiday in Finistère

During your next holiday in Brittany, the island of Ouessant and Finistère will seduce you with their landscapes, but also thanks to the diversity of activities they offer. There are plenty of sports and leisure activities to enjoy during your stay in a gîte near Ouessant. During your weekend or holiday in Ushant, combine heritage discovery and sporting activities by cycling around the island. On another day, weather permitting, marvel at the island's wild coastline on a kayak trip! For those of you with a thirst for exploring the seabed, there's another aquatic pleasure: scuba diving in the Iroise. Visitors to this destination also like to gather to listen to different artists expressing their talents in an extraordinary environment. We're talking about the Ilophone Festival, usually held during the first half of September. If you're staying here with lots of children or a few friends, consider renting a Clévacances gîte for 6 or 8 people. All these activities should whet your appetite, so let yourself be tempted by the culinary traditions of Finistère, and in particular the lamb stew cooked under the clods, a typically Ushantine recipe. Instead of the traditional ice cream, try a tiramisu to round off your meal in style. You can sample these culinary specialities not far from your gîte near Ouessant.
