Brittany is unsurprisingly France’s most visited destination, with its exquisite, rugged landscapes that span inland forests and coastlines, its extensive history, its unique and varied culture and heritage, its superb food and drink and its friendly, helpful people. For sightseeing, sports of all kinds and family activities, the region is hard to beat.
The region of Cap Sizun combines natural beauty, history, heritage, local culture and friendly people to create an almost limitless range of sight-seeing options to suit all tastes and ages. For the full story, contact the local tourist office in Audierne and they’ll help you with your choice. You may wish to use bicycles – there are plenty of hire shops in the area.
Aside from world-class hospitality – naturally! – the great passion of the owners family is sport – in particular sailing and horse-riding. Not least because of its proximity to one of France’s great beaches, St Tugen (a short walk away), le Manoir Audierne is blessed with extraordinary local facilities.
If you like life on the water, there’s sailing, canoeing, sea and river rowing, surfing (St Tugen is a renowned surfing beach), cruising, scuba diving, windsurfing and also fishing. As you’d expect, there’s also a great deal of maritime heritage to be enjoyed here. And don’t forget le Manoir’s own delightful swimming pool!
Audierne is the vibrant, colourful fishing port that’s the nearest big town to le Manoir. As well as being a wonderful place to visit in its own right, it’s where you’ll find most of the shops, food and wine, hotels and restaurants you may need during your stay.
Local specialities include – of course – sea food, patisseries, crêpes, and don’t forget the powerful apple brandy, Calvados! For local legumes, perfect croissants, superb seafood and a whole lot more, go to Les Halles, the local daily market. Quimper porcelain makes an ideal gift or souvenir. A fabulous market On Saturday mornings, the Audierne market is one of the great features of the area – not only a great way to stock up the larders at le Manoir, but also good fun for everyone.
