General presentation
Paimpol et île de Bréhat
Breton port, flowered island, cliffs, villages, coastal trails and maritime atmosphere.
To understand what Paimpol and Bréhat Island are, you must look to the side of Bréhat Island, Paimpol and Beauport Abbey. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, island landscapes and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: boats subjected to the weather and summer influx on Bréhat. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Island
Île de Bréhat
The island of Bréhat offers strata: white trails, rocks, colorful water, sea cry. The discovery becomes particularly right when you change perspective every few minutes, as the site transforms light in a spectacular way. A slow walk becomes a real scene of observation.
City
Paimpol
Paimpol is a port where life and coastal landscape respond. We quickly understand the local dynamics by alternating market, docks and small rising streets. The changes of light along the sea complete the impression of a living place without losing its maritime anchor.
Abbey
Abbaye de Beauport
The Beauport Abbey is distinguished by an architecture that accompanies the walk: facade, nave, stained glass, chapels and materials that change expression according to the shade. The visit becomes rich if it takes time to alternate overview and close back to the carved details.
