Camaret-sur-Mer walks

From Camaret harbour, follow the coastal path via the famous Pointe de Pen Hir. Return to face the panorama of Brest harbour.

This third stage of the Crozon tour is short and well worth spending time on. First of all, it offers superb sea views, culminating in the high cliffs of Pointe de Pen Hir and Tas de Pois. There is also a rich heritage to discover: a chapel, a Vauban tower and ancient military structures, rows of menhirs, the remains of a manor house...

A wonderful stroll on the Crozon peninsula. Between steep cliffs, sandy beaches and megalith alignments, one of the most beautiful walks in Brittany.

Walk along the top of the cliffs facing the open sea. In centuries past, fortifications were built here to protect the Bay of Brest. The path crosses the moor. The return journey is inland.

From the beaches of Kersiguénou and Goulien in Crozon, this route climbs up the cliff to reach Château de Dinan, a huge rock connected to the headland by an arch carved out by the sea, and Pointe de Dinan, offering beautiful views of Pointe de Pen-Hir in Camaret and its famous rocks, the Tas de Pois. It continues to the next point, Lostmarc'h and its barred spur. The return journey takes you through dunes, moors and carriage roads linking hamlets that have often been restored.

Pointe de Dinan is not the best known of the Crozon peninsula's headlands, yet the view it offers over the Iroise Sea, from the immense Goulien beach to the rocky outcrop at its western tip, is quite magical. Here is a short walk that allows you to see for yourself.

This walk, starting from Roscanvel church, goes around the Pointe des Espagnols, which is the northern tip of the Crozon peninsula, offering breathtaking views of Brest harbour. It then follows the coastal path to the Fort des Capucins, before returning to the village via the inland route.

This circuit combines exploration of the hinterland, passing through Lesconvel, which consists of a manor house, a small ruined chapel, a small house with a bread oven, and a pond (a former fish pond). The return journey follows theGR®34coastal path, which passes through the imposing batteries, remnants of the Second World War, which were used to control the entrance to the Brest channel, and ends opposite the Pointe du Petit Minou and its lighthouse.

A superb walk between Crozon and Cap de la Chèvre. Memorable views. The outward route, along the shore, is quite difficult with a very rugged coastline and alternating steep ascents and descents. But the route, which follows the GR®34, is well worth the effort, with a guaranteed change of scenery. Starting from Crozon, after Fort Kador, you can take the old GR® 34 route, which is a little more challenging but closer to the edge of the cliff! The return journey, via the interior of the headland, is easier.

Even before it became a renowned seaside resort, Morgat was famous for its sea caves. Thanks to The Guardian, it has become even more famous, as it is said to be home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. As a result of this notoriety, this little gem is no longer accessible due to the overcrowding of the tiny and very steep path that leads to it. But you can still dream of relaxing there from the coastal path that connects the two sites. Between points 4 and 6, the path can be narrow and vertiginous. Not recommended for those who are afraid of heights. Latest information: changes have been made tothe GR® trail in the Pointe de St-Hernot area and between Porz Léon and the Calvary. Follow theGR® markings in the modified sections.

Beautiful tour largely on the coastal path (GR34), via Cap de la Chèvre, which overlooks the bay of Douarnenez.

From the Maison des Minéraux in Saint-Hernot, the last large hamlet before Cap de la Chèvre, the route joins theGR® 34 coastal path overlooking Douarnenez Bay. On this route, there is a short detour to the hamlet of Rostudel, a former fishing and farming village dating back to the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The hike continues to the well-known Cap de la Chèvre before reaching Plage de la Palue, renowned for its surfing spot. Heritage highlights include the Chapel of Saint-Hernot, the Dolmen of Kerdreux and the Naval Aviation Monument at Cap de la Chèvre.

This little gem of the Breton coast is now closed to pedestrians, a victim of its well-deserved success. Visiting it from the coastal path is still a beautiful experience and well worth the short walk.

The fifth stage of the Crozon tour is just as beautiful as the previous one! The first part, up to Cap de la Chèvre, offers a spectacular view of jagged cliffs. The climb up to Morgat, with its ups and downs, in an almost Mediterranean atmosphere, offers superb views of the Bay of Douarnenez. Megalith enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate the small dolmen at Kerdreux and, above all, the alignment of menhirs at Ty ar C'huré. (Please note) The hike is impassable until further notice in the wooded areas (approximately the climb along the east coast), following damage caused by the storm in November 2023. See the comment posted on 18 March 2024. Please check before undertaking this hike.

After running alongside Sainte-Anne Beach, watched over by the statue of the saint, the coastal path leads to the seaside resort of Trez Hir and continues towards Fort de Bertheaume. The return journey, via small streets and paths, allows you to discover the rest of the countryside, which is gradually being swallowed up by urban development. The route ends with a visit to the small village of Cosquer, where old farmhouses have been beautifully restored.

A lovely walk around Cap de la Chèvre, a circular route that loops back to the hamlet of Rostudel, a listed site.
