The Ellé River, located in Brittany, France, is known for its clear, cool waters that flow through the Morbihan and Finistère departments. The water temperature in the Ellé is typically cooler than coastal or southern rivers, averaging between 12°C and 18°C (54°F to 64°F) in the warmer months. This cooler temperature is often due to the river’s rapid currents and shaded surroundings, as it flows through forested areas and gorges, especially near Le Faouët. The river is popular for various water activities, such as kayaking and fishing, thanks to its relatively pristine and natural environment.

Swimming in the Ellé is possible in certain sections, particularly near the natural pools and calm areas formed by the river's bends and curves. The stretch near Le Faouët and Pont-Aven is known for offering peaceful, scenic spots suitable for wading and swimming in the summer, although swimmers should be prepared for colder water. Additionally, the river’s currents can vary in strength, so it’s recommended to check local conditions and select areas where the flow is gentle.
