With a warmer climate than the rest of Brittany, much of Morbihan has an almost sub-tropical feel, especially around the Gulf and along the estuaries like the Vilaine that cut deeply into its 300 miles of rocky shore and beaches of fine sand.

The mildness of its weather, and the hundreds of creeks and harbours along its shores, makes the Morbihan an ideal holiday destination for sailing enthusiasts of every degree of skill.
