At the tip of a 14 km-long peninsula, Quiberon is famous for its fine sandy beaches. But did you know that as early as the 19th century, many visitors came here to enjoy the fresh air and the benefits of sea bathing? I'd like to take you back to the birth of seaside tourism: the construction of the first major hotels, followed by the construction of numerous seaside villas. We'll discover their incredible architectural variety and the richness of their decor.

I'll also tell you about the Quiberon experience of famous people. We'll then delve into the heyday of sardine fishing, which made Quiberon France's leading sardine port. Around the fishing port, there are many reminders of the old canneries and the daily lives of the men and women who made a living from them. To complete the picture, let's take a look at today's port and the intense activity of its dynamic and innovative fish auction.
