The Seaside Museum Dive into the history of Bénodet

Next to the Tourist Office, the Musée du Bord de Mer is open all year round. Respecting the wishes of its heir, Mr Jean Boissel, this place of history and culture brings to life the era of elegant sea bathing and yachting on the River Odet. This museum is an essential stop-off point for understanding the character and history of Bénodet, Finistère’s top seaside resort.
