Quiberon (Breton: Kiberen) is in the Morbihan Breton (Mor-Bihan) department in Brittany. It is situated on the southern part of the Quiberon peninsula. The northern part is the commune of Saint-Pierre-Quiberon (Breton: Sant-Pêr-Kiberen). Quiberon peninsula projects out into the sea for 9 miles (14km) and is 72ft (22m) wide at its narrowest point. The Quiberon Peninsula Quiberon is connected to the mainland by what is known as a tombolo, which is a narrow sandy piece of land.  There is a mixture of rugged coastline, expansive sandy beaches, fishing villages and rich cultural history. 

On the western coast of the peninsula is the Côte Sauvage (wild coast) with a coastal walk providing spectacular views and the remains of an Iron Age fort. The peninsula is popular with tourists and noted for its attractive villages with a number of ancient chapels. Saint-Pierre-Quiberon is the main village where a number of fish restaurants are located, along with art galleries and craft shops.
