Rhuys Peninsula, Peninsula in Morbihan, France.
The Rhuys Peninsula extends into the Gulf of Morbihan with an elongated shape and ocean beaches on its southern side. The landscape connects coastal areas to a mix of villages, farmland, and historical buildings inland.
During the medieval period, the Dukes of Brittany built Suscinio Castle here as their favored residence. This era shaped the peninsula's development as a key administrative and power center in the region.
The towns here keep Breton traditions alive through festivals and music events that happen throughout the year. You can experience the living maritime culture in fishing villages and in daily activities connected to the sea.
Le Crouesty harbor offers mooring for boats and serves as a base for water activities and exploration. A network of walking trails runs along the coast and inland, connecting different villages and sites.
The Pénerf river holds a network of oyster farms that create geometric patterns when viewed from high ground. This farming tradition has deep roots and shapes how the peninsula looks.
