Plage municipale de Conleau, Municipal beach in Conleau peninsula, Vannes, France.
Plage municipale de Conleau is a public beach along the Gulf of Morbihan coastline, featuring a sandy shore with shallow waters framed by grassy areas and coastal walking paths. The site spreads across the Conleau peninsula with designated swimming zones and accessible routes for visitors.
Conleau peninsula began as a working fishing settlement with constructed pathways connecting it to the mainland. Over time it transformed into a leisure destination and now serves as a recreational area for the local region.
The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience the rhythm of coastal life, with seasonal events that celebrate maritime heritage and regional traditions. People come here to connect with the area's seafaring past and observe how the community relates to the Gulf.
Lifeguard supervision is available during summer months, and beach wheelchairs are available for visitors needing mobility support. Plan your visit around high tide when water depth is more comfortable and the natural pool area is fully filled.
The beach features a natural seawater pool filled by tidal action, creating a protected swimming environment independent of Gulf conditions. This pool is a distinctive feature that makes the water experience safer for swimmers of all levels.

Vannes is a medieval town in Brittany with fortifications dating from the 13th century, including preserved walls, fortified gates, and towers. Saint-Pierre Cathedral, originally built in the 13th century and later modified, stands in the heart of the old town surrounded by half-timbered houses and cobbled streets. The Musée de la Cohue displays collections of regional art and history, while the Musée d'Histoire et d'Archéologie presents artifacts from Gaulish and Roman periods. The marina connects the town to the Gulf of Morbihan, a protected bay with more than 40 islands. Historic sites include the 14th-century Château de l'Hermine, once a ducal residence, and several religious buildings such as Église Saint-Patern. The Porte Saint-Vincent, a 17th-century city gate, leads to the center with squares like Place Henri IV and Place Gambetta. The Marché des Lices, a weekly market, takes place in the old town. Beyond the walls lie the Marais de Séné nature reserve with salt marshes and birdwatching stations, and Branféré animal park about 12 miles (20 km) away. Conleau beach provides access to the gulf, and boat tours by Vedettes du Golfe depart from the harbor.
