The Odet River, often called the prettiest river in France, flows through the Brittany region, particularly around Quimper, and eventually empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Bénodet. The river’s water temperature varies seasonally, typically reaching between 16°C and 22°C (61°F to 72°F) in the summer months, making it pleasant for wading and recreational activities. However, the Odet is primarily a tidal river in its lower stretches, which means that swimming is best enjoyed near Bénodet or Quimper where water conditions are generally calm.
Swimming is feasible in specific areas of the river, particularly where it widens and slows down, and is popular among locals and tourists during warmer months. The riverbanks are ideal for picnics and leisurely strolls, with designated swimming spots providing safe entry points into the water. While the water quality is suitable for swimming, checking local advisories for any seasonal restrictions is advisable, especially following periods of heavy rain when river conditions may temporarily change.
