Just returned on Sunday from week%26#39;s holiday in Port Louis on the south coast of Brittany, albeit 5 adults and no children. Lovely little town with very nice beaches and well placed for travel to all the main tourist areas. Carnac beach area not very Breton and gets very busy. Quiberon peninsula lovely but, again, gets very busy at peak times. Have been to Morbihan 4 times in all over the years and have had brilliant holidays each time. First time when the children were young and everywhere is VERY child friendly. Port Louis has all the typical French shops in the main street but there is a large Intermarche supermarket on the outskirts of town. Don’t know whether it applies in peak season but most shops close for 2 hours over lunchtime and Intermarche doesn’t open on Sundays. Majority of restaurants in town also close Tuesday evenings.

From my experience I would choose Carnac as you can reach Quiberon from there in 20 mins. Quiberon is also fine but it is a bit more isolated. Carnac is great, lovely beaches, a street full of shops and cafes for an evening stroll and lots of places to visit within a short drive (20-30 mins). We stayed at Camping des Menhirs at Carnac Plage in a mobile home. We travelled with Canvas holidays but all the usual companies use the site and most are fine, except I am told Charisma holidays! People turn their noses up at these sites but for a family they are great and you can spend as much or little time on site as you wish. We have holidayed like this for 15+ years and still use sites even though the kids are long gone, in fact they are now talking about joining us next year with their own families. If you make a decision let us know and I can offer a few ideas of places to see.

i would choose carnac it is a lovely place it was the first french holiday my family went on and my son was also 2 at the time he his now 17
my family have always used the campsites in france and the children have always enjoyed them, there a few you can chose from eurocamp, keycamp are the one people mention, but the is french freedom and canvas life

Bonjour! We%26#39;ve been staying in this area in mobile homes for the last 8 years (since we had a family!) I would choose Carnac, Quiberon isn%26#39;t far but it is a bit of a trek back to the mainland if you want to have say trips - it can get pretty windy too! Most places are child friendly which makes life easier. One thing you can%26#39;t get in the supermarket it juice (ie robinsons) so if your little one likes certain drinks I%26#39;d take some other than that you can get everything you need so don%26#39;t pack much food! Hope you have a good time.

Take the advice of flatbroke.
Camping quin quis is a lovely place. Right next to an animal park, near a small town, river and beautiful beaches at Le Pouldu and Guidel Plage.
The mobile homes are lovely and the place has 3 swimming pools and a kids club and kids playgrounds.
We have a mobile home there and we love it.
