Morbihan takes its name from the Breton for little sea, a fitting description for the sheltered gulf that opens onto the Atlantic at its heart. Vannes, the capital, and the wider department are well served by road and rail links to Rennes and Nantes. With its long maritime tradition, Morbihan is home to the Gulf of Morbihan, scattered with small islands and fishing villages, and to Vannes itself, a well-preserved medieval port town built in an amphitheatre shape around the harbour. Away from these headline attractions, buyers will find the fine sandy beaches of the Quiberon peninsula and Belle-Île-en-Mer, the best known of Morbihan's islands, reached by boat. Morbihan is also known for its sailing and seafood, drawing French buyers, including many from Paris, who come for the water and the gentler pace of life. A mild maritime climate brings cool summers and gentle winters. Property ranges from a harbourside apartment, a granite farmhouse inland or a coastal property near the gulf, Morbihan offers choice at a range of price points. With sailing, seafood and island scenery, it is one of Brittany's most popular departments for buyers. On the local market, houses in Morbihan average €2,359/m².
