From Penmarch to the islands of Sein and Glénan between dolphins and lighthouses

Penmarch aroused just as much interest in Guy de Maupassant for the black legends about the deceitful means used by Breton fishermen to lure ships into snares set among the rocks and thus plunder their booty. He rightly wrote that 'the waves swallowed in these caverns, which shake the whole coast, can be heard on stormy days in Quimper'. It is no coincidence that surfers adore this stretch of coastline all the way to Plage de Pors Carn where the sea breaks to the left and the wind never betrays any treachery. Sailing with Archipel Pro, one can notably sail between the Isle of Sein and the Glénan, in the Iroise Marine Park, skimming past the mythical lighthouses of Ar-Men and La Vieille, until disembarking at Sein, an island little bigger than a rock and yet inhabited. Dolphins and gannets can be encountered along the way, while on the Etocs route, a veritable colony of grey seals looms on the horizon, living sheltered inside authentic rock labyrinths. Here too, as on the rest of the Breton beaches, one must always keep an eye on the clock to remember the exact and precise times of the low and high tides that always decide the itineraries of locals and travellers. In Le Stang, you can stay at Le Terrier sur la dune de Tronoën, a wooden chalet located a few hundred metres from the long beach of Tronoën, surrounded by wild nature.
