Le Minihic-Sur-Rance, a gentle contrast
Along the scenic Rance Estuary in Brittany, France, Le Minihic-sur-Rance is a charming village with a rich maritime heritage. Once home to skilled shipbuilders, it now offers a peaceful retreat.
Discover Le Minihic-sur-Rance
But far from being turned towards the past, Minihic-sur-Rance is anchored in the present. With three shipyards and a dry dock, it’s a perfect stop if you have a love for the sea or enjoy the company of boats. With stunning views of Saint-Suliac, especially from the Pointe du Crapaud set off to discover the Rance and its serenity by walking along the customs path…
Wooded and surrounded by hedgerows yet never far from the water, Minihic-sur-Rance perfectly represents the gentle contrast of Brittany: the liveliness of the water, the tranquility of the countryside…
But to talk about the village without mentioning its festive events would be an affront! Come, for example, with your family to participate in the Fête des Doris, the flat-bottomed boats that had their heyday during cod fishing on the banks of Newfoundland… You won’t regret it.
