Tourist Attractions
The side of the peninsula facing the open sea offers with its wild coast "Cote sauvage" rough cliffs, which alternate with short, sandy stretches of beach. From the high cliffs of the steep coast you have a fantastic view over the sea and can experience beautiful sunsets from here.
- 1 Le Château Turpault, 7 Boulevard de la Côté Sauvage, 56170 Quiberon. The castle was built in 1904, it is located on the Pointe de Ber Er Lann at the entrance to the wild and romantic Côte Sauvage.
- 2 Menhir de Quibéron, 11 Rue de Kerdonis, 56170 Quiberon.
activities
Local bike rental companies make it possible to explore the peninsula by bike. The expansion of cycle paths away from the main roads is good and you get to know the immediate area better.

In general, Brittany is the place for seafood lovers.
On the one hand, it is advisable to try the moules fries here, i.e. mussels that are on the menu with different sauces, or to order an apero breton (three oysters and a small glass of white wine).
Mussels cost about 12 euros, an aperitif you get around 6 euros.
If you've got a taste for it, you can try 'Le Vivier' just outside Quiberon, right on the Côte Sauvage. The restaurant is medium-priced and benefits from its exceptional location without differing in quality from the rather good average of the rest of the gastronomy (pre-season ...).
The 'brave' should definitely try an 'Assiette de fruits de mer' (sea spiders, crabs, mussels, oysters, sea snails). It could be the beginning of a wonderful friendship - but it doesn't have to be.
Many restaurants on the beach promenade and near the harbor offer enough variety for every taste and in all price ranges - just try it out, sit in the sun and enjoy the ambience.
If you are more into sweet or savory food, you will not miss the Breton crepes and galettes, any more than salt caramels, various Breton pastries, Breton beers, cider (insider tip: cider from Fouesnant), apple brandies (lambig). Those who can tolerate it drink a 'Paix Dieu' in 'Barantyno's' - after this strong beer (> 10 percent), divine peace is assured.
Explorers and the curious will also find less crowded restaurants away from the center. We recommend the 'baragwin' (which means 'bread and wine') at Port Haliguen: a small, fine menu, nice staff, good cuisine, reasonable prices, interesting wines and a rather familiar atmosphere in the sailing community.
