A route offering varied landscapes: woodland and rocky outcrops, including the Rocher de l'Impératrice, and the banks of the Élorn, a coastal river which flows into Brest harbour, passing under the old Albert Louppe Bridge (or Plougastel Bridge) and the more recent Iroise Bridge. Two small chapels add a touch of heritage.

This second stage presents a variety of landscapes… It begins with sections along the roadside, which are not the most pleasant. After passing through Roscanvel and its pleasant countryside, you follow the path overlooking the Goulet de Brest, which offers superb panoramic views. Numerous remains of military structures, the church and the Saint-Éloi Fountain in Roscocanvel, and the port of Camaret with its Vauban tower add a lovely touch of heritage.
