Departure from Finistère
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 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...

Departure from Crozon (Finistère)
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.
