Antonin's advice
“If you want to get off the coast and discover another Brittany, the Brière hinterland is magical · marshes, thatched cottages, boat rides. Les Canailles du Marais is the gourmet stop in the heart of this universe. Careful cuisine, unique setting, warm welcome. My advice · book a lunch after a boat trip in Bréca (the port is 200 m away), it’s one of the most beautiful days you can spend in Brière.”
