Serviced Apartments in Quiberon

Quiberon is a small seaside town (or commune as the French call them) in the Brittany region of north-west France. The town shares a peninsula with the nearby smaller commune of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon and is very much a summer resort for tourists looking to enjoy the beach and sea. The months of June through to August are the most popular with visitors, and holiday apartments in Quiberon are at their busiest during this time.

Historically, the town is most well-known for the Battle of Quiberon Bay; an important naval battle between the French and English as part of the Seven Years’ War. This event is commemorated by monuments in the town and is also documented in Quiberon’s Musée de la Mer (Museum of the sea). In French, the battle is known as Bataille des Cardinaux and is a little bit of a sore point, considering the English won. With the town being so small, you'll find your vantage point from any holiday rental in Quiberon will give you a fine view of the sea in which this battle occurred.

As previously mentioned, this small town of 5000 people occupies the southern half of a peninsula meaning it is surrounded by sea and beaches on three sides. There really is therefore no such thing as a Quiberon city centre (center) apartment and you will be able to walk around the entire town by foot with ease. This is something famous French writers have done in the past such as Gustave Flaubert and Anatole France as well as American actress Sarah Bernhardt.

As well as monuments remembering the Battle of Quiberon, there is also a quite wonderful 19th century chapel called the Église Notre-Dame de Locmaria. This is not an enormous religious building as would be found in larger cities, but nevertheless is an attractive example of a small town chapel and worth a look. To soak up some more history of the area, visit the Museum of History and Traditions (La Maison du Patrimoine), just a short walk from any Quiberon serviced apartment.

The best way to reach Quiberon in the first place is by train or car. The town has a small railway station which is connected to Auray, itself then having connections to Paris and other major cities in France. Another alternative is to fly into Rennes airport, and then make the final trip to your Quiberon self-catered apartment or serviced accommodation by car.
