Cruises with Les Vedettes de l’Odet in Bénodet

It’s great to stroll through the beautiful spa and seaside resort of Bénodet, a must-see destination in southern Brittany! And continue your stroll on the water, embarking on a cruise from the port. The Vedettes de l’Odet company will help you discover the secrets of enchanting places, both on the river and the sea.

Cruises on the Odet

Called “the prettiest river in France”, it’s easy to see why the Odet has so much to offer. Choose one of the packages offered by Les Vedettes de l’Odet and discover the amazing history of the area. You’ll have the best vantage point for watching the birds and the castles nestling in the woods, which can only be seen from the river.

The guided cruise

From April to September (every day in July and August), the guided cruise, with or without a stopover, reveals all the riches of the Odet during a pleasant stroll. Departing from Bénodet, the motorboat crosses the meandering Odet and the woods steeped in Breton legends, taking you all the way to Quimper, capital of Cornouaille.

Discover the Glénan Islands

It’s not the Caribbean, it’s Brittany! And yet it’s easy to be mistaken for the white sand of Les Glénan, the sand that creates these heavenly beaches and translucent waters tinged with brilliant green.

Off Bénodet, the Glénan archipelago can be reached in just 1 hour with the Vedettes de l’Odet! We dock on Île Saint-Nicolas, which is circumnavigated by a 1 km walk along a footpath. Stop off on the beach for a swim in this idyllic setting and, at low tide, extend your walk by reaching the island of Bananec.

Les Glénan is renowned for its sailing school, which has trained some of the world’s greatest sailors. Its 22 islets are also a Natura 2000 site. Its biodiversity is a delight for bird and flower lovers. It’s a preserved area where a unique and protected variety, the Narcisse des Glénan, flourishes.
