Twenty kilometres from Quiberon, leave the ocean for the river and discover Auray, a welcoming medieval town nestled in the heart of the Loc’h river. When you drive along the four-lane road, you are far from imagining that a few hundred metres below you is a small haven of peace, where 15,000 people live all year round. Auray is a town of character that has everything to please visitors.
From the stone bridge that crosses the river, you turn your head towards the picturesque port of Saint-Goustan, once a major trading port. Then you walk up the Rue du Château and stroll through the cobbled streets, admiring the many half-timbered houses and craft shops. Auray is both a peaceful and lively town, where life is good. You will certainly enjoy visiting it!
