Surfing - The KLOAR surf school is 15 minutes from the house. Paddle boarding also available.

Walking - For the walking enthusiasts, the famous GR34 trail travels 2000km along the Breton Coast. It was once a path that allowed customs officers to travel along the coast to prevent smuggling; today it is a peaceful hiking trail celebrated for its beauty. These routes begin a short walk away from the house in neighbouring Lothea.

Cycling - This is excellent cycling country, reasonably flat and, with the “Espace VTT Cornouaille” circuits, the surrounding countryside can be easily explored. Bicycles can be delivered directly to Québlen using www.ouibike.net

Kayaking - The canoe/kayak club of Quimperlé is just a 5 minute drive from Québlen. Paddle to the coast down the Laïta river and they will pick you up and drive you back to the club!

Golf - The stunning golf courses of Golf de Cornouaille and Golf de Ploemeur Ocean are within easy reach of the house (both are 35 mins drive away).

Horse Riding - The best way to explore the Forêt de Carnoët which surrounds Québlen is perhaps on horse back. 5 minutes drive from Québlen, at the Centre d'Équestre de Lothéa, you will be able to do just that.

Fishing - Trout streams are plentiful near Québlen and guided fly-fishing trips can be organised to help you make the best from your day on the river.
