beautiful pond and peaceful place for a good flat walk, very well-appointed banks, large parking lot, and direct access to the village and the "petit écho de la mode" exhibition space.

A very beautiful monastery ruin. All descriptions of the individual sights are multilingual, so you can get by very well even without sufficient knowledge of French.

From here you can admire the breathtaking views of this charming coastal hamlet nestled in a quiet bay. As you cycle along the rugged paths, you will see the turquoise waters and sandy beach below, framed by lush vegetation and cliffs. Bréhec is a peaceful place where you can take a break and appreciate its picturesque harbour and traditional Breton houses which add to the beauty of the landscape of this high place.

We have never seen so many hydrangeas in one place. And the view over the hydrangeas to the sea is extremely impressive.
