Bénodet & Odet River
Bénodet
A seaside resort at the mouth of the Odet River, where excursion boats sail upriver past castles and forests to Quimper.
Bénodet is one of the most popular seaside resorts in southern Finistère, with a marina, beaches and a casino. The classic outing is a trip upriver on the Vedettes de l'Odet boats. Steep wooded valleys and estates line the banks, and the Odet is counted among France's most beautiful rivers. The one-way trip to Quimper takes about 1.5 hours, and in summer boats also sail to the Glénan Islands. Bénodet lies about 25 km from Concarneau.
