Get in

By train from Paris. To get there you should take a TGV-Express from Gare de Montparnasse that will bring you to Auray town, where there is a connection with a bus directly to Quiberon (in July and August there is a train from Auray to Quiberon). In order to find a bus stop you should leave the railway station and go to the right, it is situated a bit aside.

The tickets for the whole route can be bought at the Montparnasse railway station (the approximate price for return ticket is €135/person, people younger than 25 years old get a price reduction). Before getting into the train you should stamp your ticket in a yellow machine that are situated a bit aside from the platforms. It is also possible to buy a ticket only to Auray and to pay there to the bus driver on-site. The duration of one way is 4 hr 55 min.

See

Côte sauvage - so called wild coast, where the ocean waves beat the stones, where it is forbidden to swim because of life-danger, where you can see picturesque landscapes.

Buy

In the centre of the town, the small shops are open even on winter Sundays (at least in the morning). As a souvenir it is interesting to buy cider and sardines.

There are a lot of small hotels and houses with apartments to be rent alongside the coast.
