KART 56

At the gateway to the Gulf of Morbihan, in Ploëmel, Kart 56 installs 790 metres of outdoor track in the Morbihan countryside, halfway between Auray and Carnac. The site benefits from a typical Morbihan rural setting : bocage, ponds, the early menhirs of the bay. It's a busy address in summer when holidaymakers in campsites or seaside rentals in Carnac, Quiberon or La Trinité-sur-Mer look for a different activity between two beach days or on rainy Atlantic days.

The 790-metre outdoor layout alternates fast sections and technical corners, under the Morbihan oceanic climate. Conditions vary with Brittany weather : drier and grippy in summer, more demanding on drizzle days or Atlantic storms. Several kart classes are available depending on driver level, from beginner models for younger riders to punchier versions for regulars looking to push their lap times. With sessions starting at 7 euros, the entry price stays very accessible for first-time family driving. The site regularly hosts kids' birthdays, stag and hen parties, and group events.

Ploëmel is ten minutes from Auray, twenty-five minutes from Carnac and one hour from Vannes. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: the Carnac megalithic alignments, the Gulf of Morbihan and its islands (Île aux Moines, Île d'Arz), the Quiberon peninsula and its wild coast, the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer, or a detour to Belle-Île-en-Mer for Brittany island fans. A solid pick for holidaymakers in the Auray area.
