Sarzeau suits groups wanting space on the Rhuys peninsula, between the Gulf of Morbihan and the Atlantic, with Suscinio castle close. Homes mostly sleep around six and have gardens, but pools are rare and the homes are scattered.
Sarzeau is a large commune of about 60 square kilometres on the Rhuys peninsula, so the homes are scattered across the area rather than gathered in one place. The beaches are mostly on the Atlantic side. The Château de Suscinio, a 13th-century castle at the water's edge between the Atlantic and the Gulf, is the main sight, and a path near it winds through the marshes to the beach and along the ocean to the Penvins point. A farm by the castle makes Tome de Rhuys cheese, dry-salted with Guérande salt. Most homes have a garden and many have a fireplace.
A 13th-century castle the Dukes of Brittany often used for hunting, with a museum of local history and wall walks looking over the Atlantic.
Reached by a path from near Suscinio that winds through the marshes to the beach, then follows the ocean shore.
Its walks lead to the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, beside a round chapel said to be unique in France.
A Gulf of Morbihan stop for a plate of local oysters eaten with your feet in the sand.
Nantes Airport is about 1 hour 20 minutes by car. By public transport it takes about 2 hours 40 minutes, by bus to Vannes and another bus on, so you will need a car to move between beaches, Suscinio and the scattered homes.
It is a 13th-century castle, fortified in the 15th century, where the Dukes of Brittany often came to hunt. It has a museum on the history of the area, and its wall walks and the terrace of the second lodging look over the Atlantic.
The Atlantic side. Sarzeau's beaches are mostly on that side of the Rhuys peninsula, while the other side faces the Gulf of Morbihan.
Yes. A path near Suscinio winds through the marshes to the beach and along the ocean to the Penvins point, and the gulf's scenic road can be driven or cycled.
It does well. Tome de Rhuys cheese is made from Pie Noire milk on a farm by Suscinio, oysters are served at Séné, and local products include Saint-Armel salt and smoked salmon from Arzon.
