The Pointe des Espagnols in Roscanvel
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.
GR®34 via the Pointes de Dinan and Lostmarc'h and return through the countryside
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.
Guern Cliffs via Trez Bellec Beach
Following the GR®34 through the Guern cliffs, a protected area managed by the Coastal Conservatory ("Conservatoire du Littoral"), you'll dominate the bay "Baie de Douarnenez", framed by the cape "Cap de la Chèvre" on the Crozon peninsula and the tip "Pointe du Van" in cape "Cap Sizun". You'll reach the long beach "Plage de Trez Bellec".On the way back, you'll skirt the pine forest "Pinède de Trez Bihan", offering fine views over the bay "Baie of Douarnenez".
Morgat: circuit around Cap de la Chèvre
Beautiful tour largely on the coastal path (GR34), via Cap de la Chèvre, which overlooks the bay of Douarnenez.
Caves at Anse de l'Île Vierge
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.
Cap de la Chèvre at the start of Crozon
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.
On the Plougastel-Daoulas peninsula via the small port of L'Auberlac'h
A hike through the woods, along the seashore and through pretty little villages.
From Saint-Gwénolé to Plougastel-Daoulas
A Yellow signposted coastal walk with beautiful panoramas of the Brest harbour (Rade de Brest).
⚠️: Some paths are very wet when it rains or covered by the sea during high tides.
Loop between Anse de Goulien and Château de Dinan
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.
Forts de la Fraternité and Capucins in Roscanvel
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.
The customs path of Trez Bihan Beach to the Pointe du Guern
Your path is the customs trail near Telgruc-sur-Mer, on the Crozon peninsula, at the tip of Brittany, has breathtaking panoramas in fine weather and thrills in rough weather.
Trez Bihan, Poul and La Source beaches
Set off to explore the beaches of Trez Bihan, Le Poul and La Source, passing by the magnificent Guern cliffs. This circular route, starting from Trez-Bellec and crossing the coast and fields, will delight your eyes and whet your appetite for a swim.
Anse Saint-Nicolas, Cap de la Chèvre, Plage de la Palue from Saint-Hernot
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 Saint-Hernot - Île Vierge
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 Saint-Hernot to Morgat via Cap de la Chèvre
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.
Around the mouth of the Penfeld and the Arsenal by Kervallon
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).
