Overnight in Paimpol.

Day 7: Bréhat Island on foot or by bike
Boarding for the island is from the Pointe de l'Arcouest. You can get there by bike or bus. If you wish to visit the island by bike, we recommend renting one on site (not all companies accept bikes; those that do only do so at certain times, and the ticket price is as expensive as renting one on site). Bréhat Island is a small paradise where the landscape changes with the tides. Nicknamed the Flower Island, it is surrounded by pink granite islets and has a unique ambiance and atmosphere. Return to Paimpol.
