Things to do in autumn near Quimper

Exceptional light, colour, leaves and softness... autumn is an ideal time to enjoy outdoor activities in the Pays Bigouden.
 

- Stroll along the banks of the Odet...

From the Roscouré woods or the Corniche in Bénodet, enjoy the sea and the countryside!
The autumn colours are superb in the woods, so it's time to relax and unwind. For the connoisseurs (and lucky ones), you may even find a few chanterelles or porcini mushrooms in the more hidden paths. 
If you prefer to stroll along the seafront, in the sunshine, choose the Corniche de Bénodet. From the lighthouse to the Letty, via the Pointe du Coq: admire the view of the Glénan and Sainte-Marine.
And as a reward, enjoy a snack at Les Bénodettes or a waffle near the Casino...
