Lampaul-Plouarzel walks

A very beautiful walk between land and sea south of Aber Ildut. Without any particular difficulty, you can plan a break on a white sandy beach and swim in turquoise water (not always warm!). Information panels at the mouth of Aber Ildut provide an insight into navigation and trade in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Take a short walk between the Lannic car park in Plouarzel and the village of Lampaul-Plouarzel, along the coast and then inland. This walk allows you to see the entire coast, from Le Rumeur to Porspaul, before heading back up to the town centre via the main road. The return journey is via a small road in the hinterland. This loop is also pleasant in the opposite direction, with the return journey facing the Iroise Sea and the Ouessant archipelago.

This circuit takes you on a loop from the village of Trézien, with beautiful views of the Iroise Sea and Ouessant. You will pass through the village, the lighthouse and the Porztevinié campsite (where drinks are available in summer) before ending up at the Presqu'Île de Seigle or Ségal, then heading back up the Kervilon road and turning towards the village of Trézien. This circuit is a loop that can be started anywhere, but is best done in a clockwise direction.

A magnificent hike between land and sea, starting from Brélès along sunken paths and ending in Lanildut on the shores of the Iroise Sea. Return to Brélès along the Aber Ildut.

After exploring Melon Island, this route on theGR®34trail reveals the rocky shore with the unusual little port of Mazou, leading to Pointe de Garchine opposite the Four Lighthouse. Return via the typical hamlets of the hinterland.

Coastal path passing through Pointe du Corsen (the westernmost point of mainland France), where the theoretical boundary between the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean is located. This is also where the CROSS is located, which is responsible for monitoring the Ouessant Rail and coordinating sea rescue operations for the Breton coast.

A short walk starting from the church in Porspoder and following the coastal paths around the Saint-Laurent Peninsula, offering beautiful panoramic views, a few rocky outcrops and a small menhir.

A superb route along a coastal path, with beautiful sea views. A dolmen and a 14th-century chapel complete the picture.

Discover Anse des Blancs Sablons: from the fortified peninsula of Kermorvan to the small anchorage of Illien, along the dune massif owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral.

An easy, flat walk around the three lakes in Saint-Renan. There is also a slight detour through the medieval town centre of Saint-Renan. These lakes are artificial. Previously, there were tin quarries here. In the 1960s, these were gradually converted into lakes. Lake Ty Colo is home to water sports activities such as a wakeboarding centre. The town of Saint-Renan is an important medieval town. The town centre still bears traces of this.

Facing the Ponant Islands, which include Ouessant and Molène, the Pointe de Kermorvan offers a panoramic view of the coastline from the Pointe Saint-Mathieu in the south to the Pointes d'Ilien and du Corsen in the North. At its tip, the lighthouse marks the entrance to the Port du Conquet. The peninsula still preserves vestiges of Vauban's fortifications, as well as numerous defensive remains of the Atlantic Wall.

This route will take you through the rolling countryside of Trébabu, rich in history with its manor houses and chapel. You will then reach Ilien Beach and return to Le Conquet by following the large Blancs Sablons Beach and then going around the Kermorvan peninsula and its lighthouse. You will finish by walking along the Ria du Conquet, a natural area rich in biodiversity and popular with birdwatchers.

Starting from the small village of Lochrist, whose chapel was the parish church of Le Conquet until 1856, take the coastal path that will lead you to the port of Le Conquet, passing several small beaches along the way. After walking along part of the ria, return to your starting point via a small country road, keeping the sea in sight at all times.

After running alongside Sainte-Anne Beach, watched over by the statue of the saint, the coastal path leads to the seaside resort of Trez Hir and continues towards Fort de Bertheaume. The return journey, via small streets and paths, allows you to discover the rest of the countryside, which is gradually being swallowed up by urban development. The route ends with a visit to the small village of Cosquer, where old farmhouses have been beautifully restored.

Circular following theGR® northwards, return inland and take a short detour to Pointe du Guilligui for its superb view of the port of Portsall.

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

This route will take you on a tour of the village of Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau and its dunes. Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau is located about 25 km north-west of Brest. The dune massif and its Trois Moutons beach are magnificent.

This circuit combines exploration of the hinterland, passing through Lesconvel, which consists of a manor house, a small ruined chapel, a small house with a bread oven, and a pond (a former fish pond). The return journey follows theGR®34coastal path, which passes through the imposing batteries, remnants of the Second World War, which were used to control the entrance to the Brest channel, and ends opposite the Pointe du Petit Minou and its lighthouse.

At the entrance to Aber Benoît, this route takes us to the dunes of Sainte-Marguerite in the commune of Landéda. The dunes offer a magnificent setting, which surfers have understood. The depth of the Broennou cove allows for a contrast of colours between the water and the sky, weather permitting.

A fairly short loop around the Sainte-Marguerite peninsula, following theGR®34along the coast and ending on land. A very beautiful seaside walk with no major difficulties, just a few steep slopes, particularly near the dunes of Sainte-Marguerite Beach.
