Let's explore the Brest Arsenal, deeply entrenched around the Penfeld, the ramparts hidden in the woods, and several viewpoints over the city and the harbour. The saying goes that Brest was completely destroyed during the Second World War... This is not true: "only" 80% of it was destroyed. This route explores some of the remaining 20% (towers, gates, ramparts, a few old streets and houses).

Departure from Camaret-sur-Mer (Finistère)
This third stage of the Crozon circuit is short but well worth spending time on. It offers superb sea views, culminating in the high cliffs of Pointe de Pen Hir and the Tas de Pois. There is also a wealth of heritage to discover: a chapel, the Vauban Tower and old military structures, rows of menhirs, and the remains of a manor house...

Departure from Plouarzel (Finistère)
A walk from the village of Plouarzel to the Porscuidic campsite, avoiding traffic as much as possible via a track barely passable by cars between Toul-An-Dour and Kervilon and a cycle path for at least 80% of the route. I did it to go and get some bread at Maison Kérénneur.

A hike along the famous GR®34 coastal path between the bridge over the Aber Benoit, in the commune of Tréglonou, and Portsall, in the commune of Ploudalmézeau. There are magnificent landscapes throughout the route, enhanced by the presence of numerous birds. Along the way, there are opportunities for culinary stops.
