From one bank of the Odet river to the other
Description
Board the P’tit Bac to cross the Odet from right to left bank in just a few minutes. This colorful boat, which delights children and adds a touch of fun to your crossing, is accessible to strollers and bicycles.
Benodet
Walk along the ledge to the seafront or to the marina. Every Monday, the market enlivens the large Place du Meneyer.
The Little Train awaits you in front of the pier for a guided tour of the seaside resort. Fancy a more cultural visit? The Musée du Bord de Mer in Bénodet recalls the atmosphere of sea bathing and yachting on the banks of the Odet. For a moment of well-being, the Relais Thalasso de Bénodet offers a wide choice of treatments and a marine spa with seawater heated to 31°c.
Sainte-Marine
The local postcard, with its restaurant terraces, neo-Bretons houses, chapel and pontoons, offers a breathtaking view of the Odet estuary. The Pink House, formerly the Sailor’s Shelter, houses a museum retracing the history of this epic. The coastal path (GR34) takes you to the tip of Combrit, past the lighthouse and the fort built under Napoleon III. The Roscouré wood invites you to take a more shady stroll along the Odet. Every Wednesday, the Sainte Marine market sets up shop on the large Place Grafenhausen for a big unpacking.

Guest reviews
Very nice little ferry, very friendly and pleasant staff.
Regular, top-notch service!
Top-notch, helpful deckhand. It helps with the stroller, and it’s cheap.
The only practical and bucolic alternative if you don’t have a car to get to Sainte Marine from Bénodet… so used a lot during my week in this magnificent place…
