The Cathedral City of Quimper is always worth a visit and is only 20 minutes drive from Sainte Marine, or if you prefer, take a boat trip along the Odet Estuary. Along the cobbled streets there are lots of shops, art galleries, restaurants and of course the magnificent Cathedral in the central square.

Relax on the Beach or a Scenic Walk ?

You could watch the waves crashing over the rocks all day at Pointe de la Torche - but don't get too close!  The beach here is wild and natural and so is the sea which makes it ideal for surfing and body boarding.

The beach is surrounded by sand dunes and is dramatic and wild. There are a couple of creperies and a large free car park behind the dunes.
