Discover Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer

Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer combines beach amenities with opportunities for cycling and walking, as well as a distinctive religious heritage. This gives you different priorities to consider when planning your trip: a stay with seasonal beach amenities, outdoor activities, or a visit to the Eglise Saint Aubin and local festivals. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these aspects you want to shape your stay and when you plan to travel.

The beach and seasonal amenities

At the beach in Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer, beach cabins are set up on the Perré during the season, from May to the end of October. The “Lire à la plage” beach library is open free of charge in July and August. Supervised swimming is available in summer; lifeguard hours may vary. When planning your trip, it is worth noting the different seasonal periods and checking the specific lifeguard hours if you plan to swim. This lets you consider the cabins, library and lifeguard service as separate amenities with their own schedules.

Cycling and walking routes

Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer can be reached by bicycle via the coastal Véloroute du littoral. It is part of EuroVelo 4, which connects Kyiv with Roscoff. Check route names and connections before setting off. As a walking option, the circular route through the lower Dun Valley runs from Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer to Bourg-Dun. The Valleuse de Saussemare offers a chance to explore the agricultural plateau above Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer. The two walking suggestions therefore differ: the circular route describes a trip between two places, while the Valleuse focuses on the agricultural plateau.

Longe-côte is practised in Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer by a local group of enthusiasts. Group schedules may vary, so check in advance if you would like to include the activity in your travel plans.

Religious heritage and festivals

The Eglise Saint Aubin has two naves, one dating from the 12th century and the other from the 16th century. This contrast in dates provides a concrete point of interest for anyone interested in religious architecture. Beneath the sacristy is a crypt containing two lead coffins, believed to have come from the château. The religious heritage thus includes both two dated naves and a crypt whose coffins are only believed to be associated with the château.

The Fête du goût et de l'artisanat has been a tradition in Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer for several years. It includes the sale and tasting of local products. The Fête de la mer features a traditional fireworks display, giving it a different focus. If you want to plan your trip around one of the festivals, check the event dates before booking a hotel in Saint-Aubin-Sur-Mer.
