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...

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.

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.

Departure from Crozon (Finistère)
The fifth stage of the Crozon tour is just as beautiful as the previous one! The first section, up to Cap de la Chèvre, offers a spectacular view of jagged cliffs. The climb up to Morgat, with its constant ups and downs, in an almost Mediterranean atmosphere, offers superb views of Douarnenez Bay. Lovers of megaliths will no doubt appreciate the small dolmen at Kerdreux and, above all, the alignment of menhirs at Ty ar C'huré.

The boat crossing between the ports of Porscav and Lanildut allows you to walk around Aber Ildut without having to retrace your steps. This route offers an extension to the south of the aber, following the coastal path to Porspaul and returning inland via Lampaul and Plouarzel, before rejoining Aber Ildut and completing the circuit to the port of Lanildut.
