Golfe du Morbihan Regional Natural Park

The Golfe du Morbihan Regional Natural Park is a French regional natural park located in the Morbihan department of Brittany, on the Atlantic coast. Created on 2 October 2014, it became the 50th regional natural park of France and is structured around the Gulf of Morbihan, a sheltered inlet dotted with islands of cultural and ecological importance. The park covers about 64,200 hectares of land spread across 35 communes, home to roughly 166,500 inhabitants. It also extends over around 17,000 hectares of marine space, integrating both inland heritage landscapes and the maritime character of the gulf. Its governance combines coastal communities, inland municipalities, and the broader regional environmental framework. At its heart, the park protects the distinctive relationship between a sheltered gulf, traditional coastal villages, and a patchwork of islands, mudflats, marshes, and shallow marine environments. It is a place where Breton maritime culture, oyster farming, and protected coastal landscapes converge under a single integrated management vision.
