Citadel of Bréhat and Glass Workshop

Highlight • Castle

The citadel was created in 1863 and never taken. Presumably therefore very well preserved. In the courtyard you have the opportunity to take a coffee or a drink.
Worth seeing …

Birlot Tide Mill on Île-de-Bréhat

The Ile de Brehat alone is worth a trip. As one of the sights, the tidal mill is a special highlight on the circular hiking trail on the island

An old tidal mill. Over a dam, which is flooded at high tide, water collects behind it, which at low tide flows through a small opening back into the sea. …

Guerzido Beach

Highlight • Other

On this beach you will find sand. That is rare on the island. Near the Center Nautique.
The beach is a bit off the beaten track and is therefore recommended.

The last part is missing, thanks to Komoot which closes the application and automatically ends the tour. Finish by following the south-east coast. This loop allows you to make the most of the island while avoiding the majority of tourists.

Very nice walk that goes around the island of Bréhat but the route is not reliable. I think it has not been checked for a long time; at km 2.6, you arrive on private property and you are forced to turn around; at km 4.6, there is a sign "risk of collapse" and it is really impossible to continue without …

In spring, as was the case with us, it's also a delight because of the many flowers and other flora. However, one mustn't forget that in addition to the flora of flowers, bushes, and wonderful trees (!!!), the buildings and …

Inspired by @Gael, we took advantage of the summer weather to return to Bréhat. The island covers 3 hectares and can easily be visited in a short day. There were already a lot of people there, many cyclists, but the small trails were not very busy. A very protected island in terms of urban planning, without cars, which makes it …
