Spending your holidays on the Quiberon Peninsula?
Le Domaine de la Pointe de Kerhostin suggests you its selection of places to visit nearby.
Discover the south of Brittany and more particularly the Morbihan with its beautiful landscapes. As you
drive, bike or walk, you must see the Côte Sauvage, a beautiful road, right along the ocean coast, Belle-île
en Mer (45 min by boat from the peninsula), the famous Carnac’ seaside resort and its menhirs or even the
Gulf of Morbihan’s islands.
The Isthmus of Penthièvre forms the entrance of the Quiberon peninsula, it is the only speck of land that connects the Quiberon to the continent. It is an attractive place to walk around: on one side, the calm, peaceful and restful bay of Quiberon and on the other side, the Atlantic Ocean as far as the eye can see.
And it is there, at the edge of the Peninsula that is located Kerhostin and our houses, between the Ocean and the Bay, with an immediate access to all the beaches for the happiness of the families. Moreover, you will find numerous activities within few minutes’ walk away from the house: sand yacht Zefattitud and Les passagers du vent, kite surf, surf and paddle among others swimming and angling.
The Quiberon peninsula extends over 14 kilometers from north to south. Thanks to the power of her tides and its localization,
we find over there an iodized air of an incomparable purity.

in a very peaceful environment.
