Benodet and the Odet river




International yachting center, Benodet is renowned for its picturesque setting, mild climate, Mediterranean-type vegetation and architectural gems hidden on the banks of the Odet river.




May we end this trip by a few verses from Guillaume Apollinaire, written en 1917 after a stay of the poet in Benodet :

Benodet does not know the one it prefers
The sea with a thousand of reefs or his soft river
The Odet more sweet than sounds her name
But as time passes, you must have to go
Leaving Quimper and the County of Cornwall
