Camping Port of Le Pouldu, book your stay!
The port of Le Pouldu, a must-visit during your holiday!
Lying at the mouth of the Laïta, the river that marks the boundary between the Finistère and the Morbihan, the port of Le Pouldu is one of the jewels of the Pays de Quimperlé. Gauguin, founder of the Pont-Aven school of artists, often came here to set up his easel and capture all its beauty: emerald water, wooded shores, ever-changing light... And now it’s your turn to fall under its enduring charm, during your camping break in southern Brittany!
In search of accommodation near Le Pouldu in southern Finistère? Look no farther! From well-equipped cottage with every comfort to camping pitch for tents and campervans, unpack your bags and tent pegs at a Sandaya campsite. Just a step away from the beaches, accept its invitation to discover the delightful area around Clohars-Carnoët, between the ports of Le Pouldu, Doëlan and Le Bélon.

Visit the port of Le Pouldu with the family
In search of an activity for all the family in the Pays de Quimperlé? You certainly won’t be disappointed at the port of Le Pouldu! From Quimperlé or one of the inlets along the Laïta, treat yourself to a delightful trip by stand-up paddleboard or canoe, all the way to the ocean. Go with the flow, carried by the current: you’ll be able to take all the time you want to admire the unspoilt landscapes of each bank of the river.
On your arrival in Le Pouldu, take a break on one of the beaches at the mouth of the river: those of Guidel to the east, or of Clohars-Carnoët to the west. You’ll be spoilt for choice to enjoy the sunshine just a little longer!
Visit the port of Le Pouldu as a couple
If you prefer exploring the port of Le Pouldu without getting wet, why not head off along the GR34, the famous long-distance footpath that hugs the coast of Brittany from north to south. Let it guide you along the Laïta as you discover some of the river’s most unexpected treasures. In the Finistère, what better than a moment out of time amidst the ruins of the former Saint-Maurice abbey, originally built by the Cistercians and today nestling quietly between river and forest. The ideal spot for a romantic picnic.
Another possibility for a visit to soak up all the beauty of Le Pouldu and its setting: settle yourselves comfortably aboard for a guided cruise on the Laïta. Kick back and relax as you admire the untamed landscapes and discover the fascinating history hidden in its meanders.
