This is a wonderful off the beaten path secluded small peninsula south of me part of my capital city of Vannes in my beautiful Morbihan dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne and in my belle France ! I like to update the text on this post and include new pictures taken just this week, I was able to have some great time with my boys and Rex our dog there in the wonderful Conleau peninsula !!! We love it for just family good times.
It is located as an extension of the city of Vannes at the end around its curve of the Gulf of Morbihan; it is a district of the city also call by the same name. Nowdays you find old mansions houses, where the architecture its inspired of Swiss chalets. There is an open pool into the bay of sea water classify pavillon bleu or excellent for swimming. There is a good size children playground where local families bring their little ones for pass time and play, all bordering the gulf and its Vincin river. Large trees of shade and benches all over provides a nice rest area for a picnic or rest or just look at the sailboats in the inner safe marina and harbor!
There are buses from Vannes that get you here but , I do the run always by car and its easy along the N165 to exit 779E follow signs for Le Port and on the last roundpoint, get right following Conleau sign, 20 mins and you are there off the freeway. Plenty of parking by the entrance to the Best Western hotel or at the entrance to the islet along the Vincin river and bay road. Of course, there is picturesque Vélocéo bike station for rides around the peninsula if you wish. And for the anecdote, there is always the sign on the stone Bretons toujours, Français jamais!
There is great views of the bay walking on a trail just from the open sea pool all around the building and housing complex, just great walks along the sea sublime!! You have great views over the channel that takes you out to sea and nice boats,
For eating, there is a nice restaurant inside the hotel Best Western at the tip of Conleau,the local name is Le Roof restaurant or the Conleau Cafe same building for lighter fare, and also a bar area. We have tried them and are good, We used to come for lunch at the La Guinguette de Conleau but it has closed and now there is a new resto 1930 that have not try yet,
There is a nice harbor office and public bathrooms right across the resto above and open sea pool. There are better bathroom by the sailing club after the Roof resto along the bay area. If you need your boat fix, there is a shipyard too!
