How do I get from Ploubazlanec to the island Île de Bréhat?

Most visitors travel to the Pointe de l’Arcouest in Ploubazlanec. From here, the ferries of Les Vedettes de Bréhat depart. The crossing takes only 10 minutes. Tip: In the high season (July/August) a visitor limit applies to the island to protect nature; so reserve your tickets in advance online to avoid disappointment.

What is the meaning of the 'Mur des Disparus' in the village?

This is one of the most visited historical places in Ploubazlanec. The Mur des Disparus (Wall of the Missing) is a monument in memory of the hundreds of fishermen who died in the 19th and early 20th century during the dangerous cod fishing near Iceland. It is an impressive part of the local culture that you should not miss during a walk through the village.

Are the beaches in Ploubazlanec suitable for swimming?

Yes indeed! Although the coastline is rugged, you will find beautiful bays here such as Plage de Launay and Plage de Roc’h Hir. These beaches are loved by families because of the calm water. Do keep the tide in mind; at low tide the water retreats far, which is incidentally ideal for 'pêche à pied' (searching for shellfish).
