The Coastal Tour & Seaweed Safari is offered in German every Wednesday (April to October). We alternative between Le Guilvinec and Lesconil (this will be communicated before the tour date).
Join me on an interactive coastal hike to discover the treasures of the intertidal zone near the authentic port towns of Le Guilvinec or Lesconil. I will welcome you to the beautiful, rocky coastline of Brittany and explore the fascinating world of edible seaweed with you. Our journey begins at the studio of a local seaweed producer and pioneer of seaweed harvesting. From there, we will venture into the intertidal zone to discover the “vegetables of the sea.”
Enjoy your visit to an EU-protected Natura 2000 site and experience first-hand the rugged coastline, the crystal-clear Atlantic Ocean, and the interplay of the tides, which, together with the sun, create a unique marine flora and fauna. Southern Finistère is renowned for its exceptional abundance, the diversity of its seaweed, and its deeply rooted tradition of seaweed harvesting.
Here, you will learn to confidently identify the edible seaweed species found in Finistère, understand their nutritional benefits and unique flavours, and master the art of sustainable harvesting. Whether you're a foodie in search of fresh, healthy ingredients or a nature lover exploring the ecosystem, this tour will connect you with the coast and allow you to discover its hidden treasures and maritime flavours.
