Villas in Le Bono
Le Bono suits walkers and couples who want an old oyster port on the Gulf of Morbihan, with a listed suspension bridge over the river. None of the homes has a pool, so this is a base for riverside walks and day trips rather than lazy days at the villa.

About Le Bono
Le Bono sits where the Bono river meets the Auray river, about 4 km south of Auray, on the Gulf of Morbihan. It grew around a natural harbour, once home to about a hundred boats, and from the 1860s the riverbanks filled with family oyster beds. The old suspension bridge, built between 1838 and 1840 and restored in 2005, is a listed monument, and the Pont Joseph Le Brix of 1969 carries the road 26 metres above the water. The homes are tightly grouped in the village, mostly for four to eight, and many have a garden. Evenings are quiet, and Auray is only 4 km away when you want more choice.

What is the old bridge at Le Bono?
A listed suspension bridge, built between 1838 and 1840, with a second suspension bridge following in 1871. It was restored to its original form in 2005. A walking route from Auray's Saint-Goustan port, about 18.5 km and four hours, takes it in.
Is Le Bono known for oysters?
Historically, very much so. Oyster farming began around 1865, and by 1900 about 200 family oyster farms lined the Bono river, though disease in 1974 and 1980 devastated the native flat oyster beds.
