Short bike tour of the Gulf of Morbihan
We propose here a short bike tour in the Gulf of Morbihan, from Vannes, a city of art and history. Go for a cycling holiday and discover the islands of the Gulf of Morbihan by bike: the île d’Arz” and the “Île aux Moines”, which are the charm of this little ” inland sea “. Cycling in Brittany between land, sea, islands and peninsulas.
The ferry boat shuttles, a true institution of the Gulf, will first take you to the “île of Arz” with your bikes. This island invites you to enjoy the sweetness of life. It is animated of course by its visitors who come to rediscover it every year but also by young farmers who reconquer the island in organic production. Several megalithic monuments bear witness to the human activity there for thousands of years.
You will then join the southern Gulf via the Séné peninsula, an invitation to bird watching, then the Rhuys peninsula with its marina and the medieval castle of Suscinio.
After a night in Arzon and an evening walk in the Navalo port, the gateway to the Gulf of Morbihan, an other boat shuttle will take you to the “Île aux Moines”, the largest island in the Gulf. You will then follow by your the many paths in the woods, along the pretty gardens, villas and beaches lined with picturesque cabins.
A final crossing by boat to reach the mainland and return quietly to Vannes. Ideal “gentle” bike trip for couples or families.
Day 1: Arrival in Vannes
Arrival in Vannes and check in in your hotel after 4pm. Take time to visit the very charming city of Vannes
Day 2: Cycling day in Arz island - 13 km (and boat shuttle)
Meeting with our guide in your hotel before your Gulf of Morbihan cycling tour
From Vannes downtown, you ride about 3 km to reach the pier of Arz island . You leave the beautiful city of Vannes by boat to reach the island.
On the island, you need about 10km cycling to go around all the points accessible by bike. We leave you here free to stroll at your leisure, without a precise route. Let yourself be surprised at the bend of these paths and small roads that offers you thousands of wonders. Enyoy the amazing colors of the gulf's waters
Back to Vannes for the night
Day 3: From Vannes to Arzon - 35 to 45 km (and boat shuttle)
A first boat drops you on the peninsula of Sene. You’ll cycle a few kilometers along the gulf surrounded by a cacophony of birds singing. A sea shuttle then connects you to the Rhuys Peninsula. You ride along the southern shores of this "petite mer" (little inland sea) to reach Arzon. in between,you will visit the castle of Suscinio and the small village of Sarzeau. Very nice bike route with small roads and greenways.
Day 4: From Arzon to Vannes via the "Île aux Moines" – 30 km (and boat shutlle)
Few kilometers by bike will take you to the pier for Île aux Moines (departure at 9am or 10am depending on the season).
The ferryman takes you to Île aux Moines for this last island day. A pleasant discovery of the island on the small car-free roads of this little paradise. Self-guided bike ride on this small island.
