Things to Do and See
Audierne has many restaurants and creperies for local cuisine along with its wonderful sandy beach. There is an aquarium which also has an amazing bird show. One can take the river walk along the Goyen to Pont-Croix. There are weekly markets in Audierne, Pont-Croix, Plogoff and Douarnenez. St.Evette offers sailing facilities including windsurfing, canoeing and paddle boarding. There is also a daily ferry service to the Ile de Sein from St. Evette. Horse riding stables are located in Plogoff. There are many coastal walks and cycle routes to explore. The Point du Raz, France's most westerly point, gives views of the islands and is a conservation area full of wild habitat. During the summer months the Fest Noz festivities are a must participation for food and dancing traditional Breton style.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ty Guen - the facilities were excellent and the property was ideally located for the town centre and beaches. Audierne is a very picturesque town. Highly recommended.
