Located right on the coast, Le Pointe du Grouin, which means 'Pig’s Snout', allows fantastic views of the sea and nearby islands. Hiking can also be done here, and wildlife lovers might spot some unusual bird species too. Watching the sunset from here after spending the day exploring or after an intensive TEFL class is a great experience.

Brittany is famous as the home to beautiful picturesque villages and scenic towns. Saint Suliac is a seaside town with the Norman Church and lots of traditional Breton architecture. An alternative spot for a tranquil day out is the not-so-secret island Presqu’lle de Quiberon, which is most popular among the locals. The area dotted with wildlife reserves has a large part of it extending into the sea providing an avenue for you to take a stroll by the coast. There is the Quiberon town, featuring lovely painted houses in shades of blue. Walk the streets and gulp in some fresh air as you enjoy the serene environment.

Brittany`s local food specialties do not disappoint.
