How to get to Quiberon

The route to Brittany varies depending on where you start in Germany. Campers from northern Germany are best off travelling via the Netherlands, Belgium and then Normandy. If you start in Frankfurt or Munich, the route leads via Metz, Paris and then Le Mans.

The route to Quiberon in France first leads via Rennes and from there to the department of Morbihan. Quiberon is located on a peninsula in the south of the province and can be reached via the D768.

Tip: Brittany is the only large region in France where there are no tolls. However, the route with the motorhome first leads through areas where you have to pay tolls for using the motorways.
