This mudflat where you can leisurely observe the fauna of the Gulf of Morbihan is located in front of the old dike which supplied the old tide mill of Cantizac...Depending on the seasons, the colors change and in summer, the mud is adorned in a green color (like here in the video).

Enjoy the flight…

6 Episod : Saint-Joseph Chapel, Penboc'h

The Saint-Joseph Chapel was built in 1865 and quickly became a center of pilgrimage. At the time, the islanders came for the feast of Saint Joseph.

It has been an integral part of a well-known spiritual center ever since.

It was built to be clearly visible from the Gulf, and is well known to hikers and boaters.

Episod 7 - Oyster Farms, Sarzeau

The Gulf of Morbihan is home to over sixty oyster farms, making it one of the main production areas in South Brittany.

Oyster farming appeared in the mid-19th century and is now the most important shellfish farming activity in the region.

The oyster farming facilities constitute an important heritage that the Gulf of Morbihan Natural Regional Park strives to promote and protect.

You can discover oyster farming in the Gulf by visiting the farms and tasting the delicious local oysters.

8th Episod : The Stone Sentinel of Boëdic Island

Standing tall at the northern tip of Boëdic Island, a small rectangular chapel watches over the Gulf of Morbihan. Its history, shrouded in mystery, blends with the murmurs of the waves and the song of the wind. Some say it was born from an old domestic building, transformed into a place of worship in 1923. Others claim its presence as early as the end of the 18th century, on the Cassini map.

In the past, it was the rallying point for the inhabitants of the Langle peninsula. They flocked there during pardons and regattas, or to attend Sunday mass, thus avoiding the long detour to the church in the village. The Sainte-Anne de Bellevue chapel did not yet exist, and the chapel on Boëdic Island offered a precious haven of spirituality.

Today, it rests, peaceful and silent, on the property of a private individual. But its soul remains active, serving as a beacon for sailors who venture into the Conleau pass. Like a stone lighthouse, it guides ships towards the Vannes River, like an unchanging witness to the history of the Gulf.

9th Episode : The Ténéro Tower, Boed Island

Standing proudly at the southern end of the island of Boëde, the Ténéro tower, also called the “square tower”, is an essential element of the Sinagot landscape. Its exact origin remains subject to debate. Some see it as a former customs post dedicated to monitoring salt smuggling, while others put forward the idea of a simple oyster farm keeper's cabin.

Despite the existence of a customs barracks on Boëde, old maps do not allow us to precisely locate the tower. The only certainty lies in its construction in 1899 by Mathurin Sevin, who took over the oyster concession from Jean-Louis Grégam on the island. The tower, originally a simple cabin, then served as a monitoring point for the oyster beds until 1985, when it was abandoned.

In 2003, the Ténéro association was created and, in 2007, obtained the concession for the tower for a period of 15 years. What followed was 10 years of restoration work carried out by a dedicated team of volunteers, professionals and students, who brought this forgotten sentinel of the Sinagot coastline back to life.

Today, the Ténéro tower stands proudly again, a symbol of the region's oyster farming history and local heritage. Its emblematic silhouette continues to watch over the waves, like an immutable beacon of the Sinagot landscape

10th Episod : Cromlech of Er Lannic

The islet of Er Lannic, nestled between the island of Gavrinis and the tip of Penbert in Arzon, offers a unique spectacle with its two semi-circular megalithic enclosures. These remains, witnesses to the rise in water levels since the Neolithic era, remain partially hidden: one of the enclosures is exposed at low tide over half of its circumference while the other remains constantly submerged.

Their central location in the present-day gulf suggests possible links with surrounding sites such as Locmariaquer, Arzon, Sarzeau and Île-aux-Moines, in addition to the tumulus of Gavrinis which overlooks them in direct view
