Then set off for Port Blanc, a small harbour where you can set sail to the islands around the Gulf of Morbihan. As for leisure activities, a variety of watersports can be enjoyed such as sailing, sea kayaking and windsurfing. Or you can enjoy a walk along the seafront or play a round of golf at Baden’s 18-hole golf course. As for heritage, there are a number of megalithic sites, châteaux, manor houses, churches and mills (15th to 18th centuries), a testimony to Baden’s rich history.
Baden, Sept-îles and Ile aux Moines
A few nautical miles from Port Blanc, Baden’s harbour, discover the Sept-Iles (seven islands), an isthmus popular with shellfish gatherers and walkers. When the tide is not too high, you can reach the island on foot and discover the incredibly wild beach where the water is much warmer than the ocean ! Port Blanc is also where you will find the ferry port for trips to Ile aux Moines, the « pearl in the Gulf of Morbihan », a 5 minute crossing. You can also take a tour of the islands around the Gulf of Morbihan and stop off at Ile d’Arz, a mecca for sailing… Fabulous seascapes that will take your breath away !
