Wellbeing & sea air
The essentials
The wellbeing and sea air of the Presqu'île sauvage (Pleubian, Côtes-d'Armor) rest on slow walking, sea bathing and the iodine-rich air of the coast. From Maison Od Joge, the sea is a 5-minute walk away; the Sillon de Talbert offers an ideal route for meditative walking.
The iodine-rich coastal air and slow walking on the foreshore are at the heart of the Presqu'île sauvage's wellbeing experience.
