Le P'tit bac

To get from the bustle of Bénodet to the picturesque charm of Sainte-Marine there’s no better way than this charming ferry. Much more than just a means of transport, the P’tit Bac is a truly mini cruise that delights young and old alike.

Embark on a Crossing between Bénodet and Sainte-Marine

An authentic, picturesque way to cross the Odet

From early April to late September, the P’tit Bac takes you from one bank of the Odet to the other in just a few minutes.

Be lulled by the lapping water and enjoy a magnificent view. On one side you can admire the coastline of Bénodet, with its marina and villas, and on the other the little port of Sainte-Marine, with its lighthouse and fishermen’s cottages. It’s the perfect opportunity to capture some superb photos and a different atmosphere in the blink of an eye.

The colourful boat delights children and adds a touch of fun. It is fully accessible to pushchairs and bicycles, so you can make the most of your trip to the other side of the river.
