A mild, invigorating morning awaits you in Paimpol when you hop on a bike lent to you for just a few euros. With a rather clement oceanic weather pattern, summers here are temperate and bright, ideal for strolling along the quays, while the sea breeze blows away the clouds to provide beautiful sunshine. From as little as €10 a day with the "Paimpol vélo" rental package, you can enjoy a comfortable two-wheeler, whether electric for effortless hill climbing, or mountain bike for coastal trails.

From the port, glide along the English Channel towards Ploubazlanec, on a protected cycle path offering panoramic views of fishing boats and sailing ships. From here, continue towards the pointe de l'Arcouest to catch a glimpse of the Bréhat archipelago, nicknamed the "island of flowers". Although a boat trip is recommended to explore its narrow streets, the short crossing gives you the freedom to return by bike, depending on tide times.
