Locmaria-Plouzané walks

After travelling through the countryside on hilly, shaded roads, full of flowers in spring, enjoying beautiful views of the sea and the Crozon peninsula, you will descend to the wild, authentic coastal path...

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.

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.

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.

Discover the bottom of the Ria du Conquet by crossing the footbridge, where the landscape changes with the tide. Encounter a piece of industrial history: the old iodine factory dating from 1830.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to combine a visit to Brest with a beautiful walk: this walk takes you through the city centre neighbourhoods, the main streets, monuments and churches, the train station and the town hall. Start in the Recouvrance neighbourhood, then take Rue Vauban towards the Plateau des Capucins. Cross the Plateau des Capucins. Join and follow the Pont de l'Harteloire. Head towards Place Albert 1er, where you turn towards Saint-Martin. Join Rue de Richelieu to cross the Pont du Forestou bridge. Head towards Chemin du Merle Blanc before reaching the train station, then Brest Town Hall and walk up Rue Jean Jaurès to return to Saint-Louis Church. Cross Rue de Siam to reach Cours Dajot before reaching the Maritime Prefecture, Pont de Recouvrance and then the Tanguy Tower. Pass La Porte Jean Bart, then the Maison de la Fontaine before passing through the Jardin des Explorateurs to complete the loop.

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 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...

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.

From Camaret harbour, follow the coastal path via the famous Pointe de Pen Hir. Return to face the panorama of Brest harbour.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A peaceful walk around the communal lake in Bourg-Blanc.These former meadows were used for tin mining by the Société Comiren (Compagnie Minière Rennanaise).Since mining ceased, a 6-hectare lake has been developed as a place for walking and relaxation, not to mention fishing for enthusiasts.

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 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.

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.
