Travelling with Pets in Quiberon
🇫🇷Quiberon, France·Updated 22 June 2026
Getting to and around the Quiberon peninsula with a dog is straightforward. The seasonal Tire-Bouchon train links Auray to Quiberon, the BreizhGo Océane ferries reach Belle-Île, Houat and Hoëdic from Port Maria, and most of the town is walkable. Pet rules on the train and ferry are clear and inexpensive.
| Mode | Policy | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Tire-Bouchon train (TER BreizhGo, Auray–Quiberon) | The seasonal summer train runs Auray–Quiberon (roughly late June to early September). Standard TER BreizhGo pet rules apply: dogs under 6 kg in a bag or carrier travel free; larger dogs travel on a leash and muzzled with a flat €7 animal ticket valid all day. Bikes need a €1 reservation. | 💡 The Tire-Bouchon is busy and bookable in summer. Buy your €7 dog ticket with your own and reserve bikes in advance. |
| Island ferry (BreizhGo Océane) | Ferries to Belle-Île, Houat and Hoëdic leave from the Port Maria terminal. Small dogs or cats in a bag or cage travel free; other dogs pay about €6.70 round trip. Animals must stay on a leash or in the owner's arms for the whole crossing, and on Houat and Hoëdic dogs must be kept leashed to protect nesting seabirds. | 💡 Book online in summer and on weekends. Foot-passenger and pet space on the smaller island boats is limited. |
| Bus (BreizhGo) | BreizhGo regional buses serve the peninsula and connect to Auray. Small dogs in a carrier are generally accepted free; larger dogs are at the driver's discretion and must be leashed and, for big dogs, muzzled. Confirm before boarding as space is limited. | 💡 Outside the Tire-Bouchon season, buses are the main public link to Auray station. Travel off-peak with a large dog. |
| Taxi & car | Local taxis may accept a leashed or crated dog at the driver's discretion. Most visitors arrive by car. Quiberon's car parks fill fast in summer, so a calm well-aired car is best for short stops. Never leave a dog in a parked car in warm weather. | 💡 Reserve a taxi by phone in advance. There are few ranks and availability drops in peak season. |
