Much loved by long-distance sailors, the Isle of Arz nicknamed “the Isle of Captains” takes its charm from its relaxed lifestyle. A true haven of peace in the heart of the Gulf of Morbihan, the island of Arz benefits from a jagged side protecting numerous coves suitable for swimming and offering incomparable panoramas over the Gulf of Morbihan. Less steep than its neighbor the Île aux Moines, it is easier for you to go around the island on foot, along the gardens decorated with hydrangeas or camellias and on the dike of the Berno tide mill. “Sailors and Captains” Museum. “Sailors & Captains” tells you about the life of an island community turned towards the sea and navigation, offshore and offshore, in calm or stormy weather. You will discover the history, sometimes dramatic, of these Sailors & Captains in the heyday of the sailing navy. Mre info on the website.
