Quiberon

The Presqu'île de Quiberon, south of Carnac, is well worth visiting on its own merits; Quiberon is quite a lively port, and you can get boats out to the islands or walk the shores of this narrow peninsula. The ocean-facing shore, known as the Côte Sauvage, is a wild and highly unswimmable stretch, where the stormy seas look like flashing scenes of snowy mountain tops. The sheltered eastern side has safe and calm sandy beaches, and plenty of campsites.
