Departure from Finistère
Let’s explore the Brest Arsenal, deeply sunken around the River Penfeld, the ramparts hidden in the woods, and several vantage points overlooking the city and the harbour. The saying goes that Brest was completely razed to the ground during the Second World War… that’s not true: ‘only’ 80 per cent of it was. This route takes you on a journey to discover part of the remaining 20 per cent (towers, gates, ramparts, a few old streets and houses).

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.

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.
