I have tested for you a cruise of discovery of the mysteries of crozon-Morgat peninsula . A cruise bewitched by the mermaid's sailors.
I might as well announce it in advance, organized trips are not my thing. I am more used to sailing in the wind and my mood than to embarking with a crowd of tourists on a boat. But today, in front of the beauty of the site and the engaging offer of the Vedettes Sirènes, I let myself be tempted. And I didn't regret it.
Control of the terrain
From the friendly boarding, to the accessible and precise speech, to the quiet piloting, these outings at sea are small pearls. The concept offers passengers with a one-hour outing, to discover the bay and its wonders. We begin with an explanation of the port and its history, then review the coastal houses set up here by the industrialist Armand Peugeot who transformed the small fishing port into a seaside resort at the end of the 19th century, and highlight of the show, the visit of some caves that make the magic of this atypical seaside.
These cruises are accompanied by the commentary of a sailor who knows the region, the geology, the fauna and flora. This live commentary is far from those recorded and repeated in other tourist sites. Here, every minute is adapted to the landscape according to what appears before your eyes. Passengers even have to ask questions.
Local family management
We were lucky to have Antoine who guided us that day: one of the two brothers who relaunched the family business. Without frills or overzealousness, he described the geological eras that allowed the formation of these sea caves, while pointing gulls or cormorants that nest on the cliff.
In spite of the numerous passengers, 48 maxi embarked with each rotation, I did not feel caught in the mass. This is probably due to a few details such as the simple"Welcome aboard" at the time of embarkation, or the absence of repetition of safety instructions when casting off. Here everything happens as if we were on a friend's boat. Of course, you should not leave your hands on the liston when you approach the dock, of course you should not throw your papers overboard. All this being so natural that it is not necessary to recall it.
A visit not to be missed
The small hour of walk, which I repeat I dreaded a little, happens like a letter to the post office, filling the small ones who can discover the pleasure of sliding on water like the adults for whom the comment will bring some additional knowledge on this particular site.
A stroll that I would even recommend to those who have the chance to tack in this amazing bay. The pleasure of slipping deep into the caves, accompanied by a simple and precise explanation on their presence gives all its meaning to this mini-trip.
