Île-de-Sein walks

The island of Sein is small and flat, so walking around it is no problem! The hardest part is perhaps resisting seasickness on the boat off the coast of the Vieille lighthouse...

Instead of taking the road to Pointe du Raz, this hike allows you to discover the Men Tan site with its numerous casemates and the location of the "Mammuth" radar used by the German army during the 1939-1945 war, reach the rocky esplanade of the Pointe at the end of a trail, admire this rocky outcrop from the GR® trail, enjoy the surroundings of the Saint-Michel Chapel and finish the route by taking very narrow alleys lined with high dry stone walls.

Facing the Baie des Trépassés, theGR®®34leads to the Chapelle Saint-They facing the sea and then to the Pointe du Van, one of the westernmost points in Brittany. It then takes us to the Pointe de Castel Meur, known for its oppidum.The return journey is via small country lanes, passing by the Saint-Tugdual Chapel and picturesque hamlets.

A walk between the famous Pointe du Van and Pointe du Raz, passing through the Baie des Trépassés.

A short stroll through one of Brittany's most spectacular sites. Avoid the official car park and the temple merchants that accompany it (Advantage or Inconvenience? Up to you). At the end of the first section, you'll have a panoramic view of the pointe. The route will be modified on 31/07/2023 to circumvent a ban imposed by a local resident.

A short coastal hike between the Brezellec and Penharn headlands, with the opportunity to visit the charming little local ports. Return via the inland route and old villages.

A very varied route, along the coast with a return through the countryside, after passing through the picturesque village of Crustrein, then to the chapels of Saint-Tugen and Saint-Théodore.

Follow the coastal path to the small port of Loc'h, well sheltered by its jetty.Continue through the countryside along a long path through the woods to discover the small Saint-Chrysanthe Chapel.A newly restored path will take you back to the village of Primelin, where you may be surprised by the war memorial, and then back to the coast for a last glimpse of the open sea.

The route passes through picturesque little villages along sunken lanes and returns via the coastal path, alternating between rocky headlands, shingle beaches and sandy beaches.

Audierne, a former fishing port, has been transformed into a marina.Poulgoazec, opposite, has retained its coastal fishing activity.This route begins with a tour of the port and its activities, then continues into the surrounding countryside.The return journey is along the coastal path, which has been damaged in places by the sea.

Audierne has a long tradition as a fishing port: first sardines, then lobsters caught in pots. After a decline in this type of fishing, in the summer months, the boats are rigged for albacore tuna fishing. In 1966, the Poulgoazec fish market was created on the other bank of the Goyen. After 1986, trawlers deserted the port of Audierne for that of Douarnenez, which was more accessible and better equipped.Currently, the main activity is line fishing and net fishing, which coexist with the increasing number of pleasure boats. This route passes through the two ports on either side of the Goyen estuary.

Easy coastal route along the beaches of Plouhinec and discovery of the access to the port of Audierne. Please note: due to collapses, theGR® 34 is closed by municipal decree shortly after the point (4) for approximately 300 metres (detour marked by Rue des Goélands) and then after the cemetery for approximately 200 metres (detour marked by Rue Saint-Julien).

This short loop starting from the Cap de la Chèvre semaphore station follows part ofthe GR®34 trail, which runs along the coast with its stunning coves.

In the southern part of the Crozon Peninsula, discover the wild coastline from Cap de la Chèvre to Pointe de Dinan by following the customs officers' paths on a day-long hike.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

Circuit from Pointe Saint-Mathieu to Bertheaume via the path to discover the entrance to the Rade de Brest. The return journey is a little way back from the coastal path

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

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.

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.
