Locmariaquer (Morbihan, France)
Locmariaquer is a coastal village located at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan, known for its rich Neolithic past and maritime activity. The coastline alternates between sandy beaches and sheltered inlets, ideal for walks and boat outings. The commune preserves spectacular megalithic monuments and a living shellfish-farming tradition. The atmosphere is both tranquil and oriented toward the sea.
Heritage and history
The Locmariaquer site brings together several major Neolithic remains, witnesses to an ancient megalithic flourishing. There are funerary constructions and megaliths that suggest monumental techniques. The archaeological heritage has shaped local identity and attracts both researchers and curious visitors.
Nature and landscapes
Its position on the Gulf offers changing views according to the tides. The shores allow observation of mudflats, salt marshes and coastal birds. The coastal paths (parts of the GR 34) offer panoramic walks between coves and rocky points.
Outdoor activities
Sailing and kayaking are popular for exploring the islands and inlets of the gulf. Shore fishing, cycling and hiking remain simple ways to enjoy the coastline. Local services also offer sea outings and guided cruises.

Locmariaquer maintains a strong shellfish-farming tradition. Stalls and restaurants showcase the gulf’s shellfish and fish, often served very fresh and simply prepared. It is a favored place for those who love seafood.
