Best Luxury Hotels in Quiberon
Set along the Atlantic Ocean on the Quiberon Peninsula, this pocket of Brittany is popular with French holidaymakers, but is lesser known among the Brits. It’s a prolific producer of canned sardines; you can visit the canneries and watch vessels departing and arriving in the fishing harbour of Port Maria. And the area was a key battleground during WWII, in the Battle of Quiberon Bay. Come here for the water sports, pale cream-coloured sands, emerald seas and thalassotherapy. Described as the Côte Sauvage (wild coast), it has many unspoilt and beautiful hiking trails.
