Worth getting out of bed for
If you’re not a sailor already, after a few days in La Trinité-sur-Mer, you’ll want to be, especially if you’re visiting around the time of the Spi Ouest France regatta (April). The Société Nautique de la Trinité-sur-Mer (www.snt-voile.org) in the port can organise sailing classes and boat hire. You can also take to the coast on a bicycle – available to hire from the hotel. Beach-based activities include kitesurfing, sea kayaking and sand yachting. Saint Laurent golf course (+33 (0)2 97 56 85 18) is 15 minutes away.
