Discover Your PPMC Boutiques – Episode #3 – What to Do in Arzon on a Rainy Day?

A short getaway to Port du Crouesty to visit our third seasonal PPMC boutique! This store is particularly close to our hearts, as it was one of the very first to open in the history of Papa Pique et Maman Coud.

Throughout our journey, as we met the managers of our different boutiques, we realized that Port du Crouesty is a must in the PPMC story. Many store managers began their PPMC adventure right here, in Arzon, on the Port du Crouesty!

Getting to Arzon

To get to Arzon, you have several options. You can, of course, go by road, but you can also get there by boat. Several companies, such as Navix or Compagnie du Golfe, connect to Port-Navalo, which is just a few minutes from Port du Crouesty by bus.

We chose the Passeur des Îles ferry from Locmariaquer (just a few kilometers from PPMC headquarters in Saint-Philibert) and, in about 20 minutes, we arrived on the other side of the Gulf at Port-Navalo.

Once at the port, you’ll find a free shuttle called Arzibus, which takes you to Port du Crouesty in just ten minutes. This shuttle also serves other stops on the peninsula.

Must-Sees for a Day in Arzon

Walks on the Peninsula

Located at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan, the commune of Arzon boasts a prime location. Between land and sea, nature and history, you’re sure to find something to enjoy during your stay.

Tumulus of Tumiac

The Tumulus of Tumiac is one of the peninsula’s must-see sites. Located at the gates of Arzon, it’s impossible to miss. Once you’ve climbed this impressive mound of Neolithic stones, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view.

Petit Mont and its Cairn

Just steps from Port du Crouesty, the Petit Mont site takes you deep into history. Climb the few steps and enjoy an unbeatable view of the Gulf of Morbihan. This imposing monument, over 6,000 years old, tells the story of human life since Neolithic times.

Port du Crouesty

Even in the rain, the Port du Crouesty is a lovely place for a stroll. Lined with shops and restaurants, it’s a hub of activity at the entrance to the Gulf.

Notre-Dame-de-Crouesty Chapel

After collapsing several times, the chapel was rebuilt in 1826, slightly set back from the coast. You can reach it by following the shoreline past Port du Crouesty. The chapel is open to the public daily from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
