PenthièvreTWO SPOTS IN ONE
Brittany's two-sided miracle: the Penthièvre isthmus is a few hundred metres wide, Atlantic waves on one side and a flat, shallow, swell-free bay on the other — with the Hôtel des Deux Mers and the Auberge du Petit Matelot both ~30 m from the sand, and three schools — Rêve de Glisse, NKS56 and Kite Spirit — picking the right side for the day's wind.
Stay & learn on the spot
Hôtel des Deux Mers
The 1930s house 30 m from Penthièvre beach: 10 of 14 rooms are two-bedroom family suites, garden terrace, bikes — ocean and flat bay both at the door.
Auberge du Petit Matelot
The small family-run auberge a few steps from Penthièvre's sand: 20+ years on the isthmus, open April to September, honest prices.
Camping Les Sables Blancs
The municipal campsite opening straight onto the flat bay-side kite beach: furnished canvas bungalows, 18 ha of protected dunes, honest municipal prices.
Kite Spirit
Sébastien & Arnaud's school since 1998: both isthmus beaches, groups of 4 max, autonomy packs, seven days a week March to November.
NKS56
FFVL EFK school playing both sides of the isthmus by wind direction, boat sessions in the bay, groups of 3-4 max, March to November.
