Location

Situated about 2km's from the beach, Camping du Quinquis (pronounced Kan-Keese) is located in the small seaside village of Le Pouldu, which is in the southwest corner of the Department of Finistere, Brittany. Le Pouldu is about 15 kms north of Lorient and 10kms west of the medieval town of Quimperle.

Le Pouldu has 3 excellent beaches and there are often events here in high season. There is also a lovely beach at Pouldu Port. All of the beaches also have great rock pools, which are exposed at low tide. The port has an excellent restaurant and a very relaxing bar overlooking the estuary. There is a lovely walk to Pouldu Port from Posmoric Port along the banks of the River Laita. All of this is within 2kms of the campsite itself.

Clohars is the nearest town with shops, banks and the post office. Clohars has the nearest supermarket – Shoppi – where you can stock up on most groceries. The market here is on Saturday mornings in the very posh new town square.                             

Guidel is bigger than Clohars and Doelan and is a good place to visit on Sunday mornings. The market here has loads of goodies to tempt you. There is a great wine shop in the market square and a number of gift shops. Guidel also has a recently extended SuperU supermarket. Just beyond Guidel itself is Guidel Plage and Larmor Plage.                                        

Quimperle is a fair size town with all kinds of shops and facilities. There is a good market on Friday mornings and the walk along the riverside by the stunning floral displays towards the daily fish market is a great way to see the town. Quimperlé is in southern Brittany, inland from Pont-Aven between Lorient and Concarneau. It is at the eastern edge of the Finistere department. Quimperlé is a magnet for tourists due to its very pretty centre, filled with streets of medieval half-timbered houses typical of the Brittany region, along with some more grand houses once owned by nobles of the town.
