Breakfast in a stunning setting.
You are now true teammates. Your movements are more confident, your shared glances speak volumes. Together, we hoist the sails. Some take the helm: heading toward the islets, their swaying seaweed fields, and their colonies of seabirds.
Carried by a strong current, we find ourselves back at the Bréhat archipelago and its 96 islands and islets.
The spectacle of the tides is fascinating: up to 12 meters of tidal range in six hours. Here, the sea transforms the landscape before your eyes, a phenomenon you have to experience to believe.
We take a detour to the Croix lighthouse to observe the seal colony located nearby. At a safe distance, we admire these marine mammals moving among the rocks and foam. The crew shares information about their habits, way of life, and remarkable adaptive abilities.
We then drop anchor in the Trou de la Souris, a natural setting bordered by granite rocks shaped by wind and sea. A place almost unreal, accessible only to those who sail.
Lunch on board in this privileged atmosphere, before disembarking on the islets.
The guided tour reveals an unexpected world: over 900 species of algae have been recorded around Bréhat. This fascinating plant, with its varied textures and colors, has multiple uses that the crew will reveal to you.
We also observe seabirds: gulls, cormorants, oystercatchers, and depending on the season, terns, brent geese, or migratory gulls.
Back on board, we resume our voyage. It’s an opportunity to discuss the monks who came from across the Channel to evangelize Brittany and settled on three of the Bréhat islands, an obscure chapter of local history that takes on its full meaning when viewed from the sea.
The main inhabited islands come into view once again: Logodec, Beniguet, l’île à Bois…
A final glass of friendship is shared on the deck.
In front of the old tidal mill of Coat Mer, we lower all the sails, pass by Brassens’ house, and then dock at the small port of Lézardrieux.
5:00 PM: the cruise comes to an end.
The crew parts ways after a wonderful adventure in the heart of landscapes and nature that are breathtakingly beautiful. Two days out of time, out of noise, out of the beaten path.
