"The heart qui Batz

In the heart of the peninsula, the village of Batz-sur-Mer has an authentic charm and architectural heritage. Listed as a “Petite Cité de Caractère ” since 2014, the town’s cobbled streets are lined with traditional granite houses, old salt-water mansions and flower-filled gardens.

The church of Saint-Guénolé, with its 70-metre-high tower, offers an exceptional panorama of the peninsula, while the Mûrier chapel and the Falaise mill are reminders of local history and traditions.

A stroll through the village takes you into a world where time seems to stand still, with its religious heritage, small craft shops and welcoming cafés.

Wild coast and beaches

Batz-sur-Mer boasts a spectacular coastline combining unspoilt nature and family beaches. The wild coastline stretches for around 6 kilometres and offers superb views from the GR®34, with its sculpted rocks and discreet coves. The entire coastline and salt marshes are protected under Natura 2000.

The port of Saint-Michel, with its beach protected by a jetty, welcomes young and old in a friendly atmosphere, punctuated by its famous yellow cabins that colour the sand from the first days of spring. The large, family-friendly Plage Valentin invites you to swim and stroll along the water’s edge.

Plage de la Govelle and Plage Valentin are popular spots for surfing enthusiasts, where constant waves and ideal conditions provide the perfect playground for surfing, bodyboarding and paddle boarding all year round.
