Dolmens, mussels and oysters of Locmariaquer – Regional Natural Park of the Gulf of Morbihan

A large number of impressive monuments from the megalithic period, oyster farming and the location of the peninsula, at the tip of which the Gulf of Morbihan and the Bay of Quiberon meet, make the small town of Locmariaquer a super beautiful destination. On today's circular hike we will see many of these wonderful sights and briefly stroll through the colorful weekly market of Locmariaquer. It's low tide right now and because the tide range is very large here, we can admire the oyster beds and watch the shrimp and mussel searchers on their forays through the mudflats. We eat good moules-frites in a small, very casually run brasserie and later, despite the low tide, find a nice stretch of beach to hop into the Atlantic. Even at this sheltered bay we notice the strong currents caused by the confluence of the Gulf of Morbihan and the Atlantic. Here is frank's version of the tour: https://www.komoot.de/tour/864729698

Locmariaquer is located on a peninsula which, together with the Rhuys peninsula to the east, forms the gateway to the Gulf of Morbihan. In addition to the ubiquitous oyster farming, Locmariaquer is mainly known for the considerable number of megaliths worth seeing. Here are Anette's recordings: https://www.komoot.de/tour/864534742
