Island escape to the Île de Batz
Fancy a boat trip? Holidays from your campsite in Saint-Pol-de-Léon are all about wind in your hair and your gaze lost on the horizon. Land ahead, Captain — Île de Batz is coming into view.
On this small preserved island, forget the car and explore it on foot or by bike. Coastal paths surrounded by flowers lead you to the sea, where the landscape turns wild with impressive granite rocks. After crossing the island’s agricultural heart, make a stop at the Georges Delaselle Garden. Thanks to the mild climate, over 2,000 exotic plants from around the world flourish here.
The best photo spot? From the island’s lighthouse, just 30 minutes on foot from the harbour. Up there, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking view of the Sept-Îles, Île Vierge, and the Bay of Morlaix.
By bike, breathe in the sea air of Finistère
In the mood for a cycling ride? Around your campsite in Saint-Pol-de-Léon, follow the region’s cycle paths. The Vélodyssée, a famous route linking Roscoff to Hendaye, runs close to your accommodation. Reach Roscoff in just 30 minutes on a 10-kilometre round trip. The route alternates between quiet country roads and safe seaside paths. Along the way, you’ll pass vegetable fields, breathe in the salty air, and enjoy superb views of the English Channel.
Still feeling energetic? Head to Morlaix, about 30 kilometres away via a greenway crossing Plouénan, Henvic, and Taulé. A sportier escape, rewarded by the discovery of the lively harbour and its cobbled streets.
