On the beautiful Gulf of Morbihan, the Rhuys Peninsula has som
ething to interest all the family. From the magnificent Château de Suscinio to golden beaches and from coastal paths to a noted Neolithic site, the peninsula is the perfect place for a relaxing day out. The 14th century Château de Suscinio, a former hunting lodge of the Dukes of Brittany is not to be missed. From 1471-83, the castle was home to the exiled Henry Tudor (later Henry VII of England) during the English
Wars of the Roses. After falling into disrepair in the 16th century, the castle was bought and restored by the local government in the 1960s. There are guided tours in English in summer during which visitors can see the lovely tiled floor of the chapel; an unmissable “son et lumière” takes place in July and August.
