The best places to visit in the region
Kerbeleg is located in the “Land of the Rias”. The Rias are these stretches of sea penetrating inland (estuaries) where small, confidential ports nestle (Pouldu, Bélon…). Their luminosity and shades of colour have fascinated visitors and famous painters alike.
You can enjoy these grandiose landscapes through exhibitions, guided tours, numerous nature outings and walks, cycle rides, horse-riding or on the water..
The list would be too long to give you all the tourist spots and cultural and sporting activities that our region has to offer, but here’s a brief overview that we’ll be happy to add to once you’re here.
