Local Area Finding La Plage
From Auray:
(If approaching from the east, do not take the first 'La Trinite' exit - the D28 to Crach as this is a longer way round, instead carry onto the next exit).
Take the Auray Centre turning off the N165 onto the D768 to Carnac and Quiberon.
At the roundabout take the exit off to Carnac and La Trinite-sur-mer.
Immediately upon leaving the roundabout you will pass a 'Magic Surf' shop on your right.
After 2 miles along the D786, turn left towards 'La Trinite-sur-Mer' on the D186 (a narrow winding country road).
Follow this road for approx. 4 miles until you arrive at a mini roundabout on the outskirts of La Trinite-sur-mer.
Take the second exit off the mini roundabout then turn right at the junction.
This takes you along the harbour front.
As you leave the harbour front, the road climbs and turns to the right.
Go straight across the traffic lights/mini-roundabout and turn left after approximately 400yds towards 'Plage de Kervillen/Camping de la Plage'.
Continue along this residential road with speed bumps for 750yds.
'Camping de la Plage' is on your right hand side.
