À propos
Brittany's largest dune system. Within the Grand Site de Gâvres à Quiberon, the Erdeven dune massif boasts an exceptional natural heritage. Its 385 hectares of dunes extend the beach inland.
The landscape alternates between mobile dunes, shifting with the winds and tides, grey dunes where low-growing vegetation proliferates, and ponds with remarkable biodiversity adapted to this very special environment. This vast natural area, owned by the Département du Morbihan, is managed in partnership with the Syndicat mixte du Grand Site Gâvres Quiberon. The Syndicat mixte du Grand Site Gâvres Quiberon brings together the coastal municipalities of Quiberon, Saint Pierre Quiberon, Plouharnel, Erdeven, Étel, Plouhinec and Lorient Agglomération for Gâvres, and has been running an Opération Grand Site since 1997.
The aim of this voluntary initiative is to obtain the "Grand Site de France" label, a guarantee of quality hospitality and sustainable development. In this way, the syndicat mixte works to preserve the landscape and heritage in harmony with human activities.
Activities and nature walks Discover this very special environment, the dune. You'll be intoxicated by its hues and scents: from the curry scent of Immortelle carried by the winds to the intriguing colors of wild orchids, this landscape of little wonders will invite you to a sensory experience. From spring to autumn, the Syndicat mixte du Grand Site Gâvres Quiberon offers free outings to discover the riches of the Erdeven dunes, as part of the departmental "Côtes & Nature" program.
From discovering the landscape to butterfly hunting and birdwatching, let a professional guide guide you through this rare, complex and fragile environment.
