Phare du Paon (Bréhat) walks

Bréhat, an island known for its flowers; it has its own micro-climate that favours the growth of amazing, abundant and exotic flora. Bréhat is 3.5 km long and 1.5 km across at its widest point and consists in fact of two islands attached by a single stone bridge. Its proximity to the mainland, 15 minutes by boat, makes it a major destination for a day trip for walkers.

If you take this hike, even during the tourist season, you will encounter few people as it follows the island's shoreline as closely as possible. However, you will see all the island's must-see sights: Guerzido Beach, Paon Lighthouse, Saint-Michel Chapel, Birlot Mill, the Fort... This hike should be done with the help of a GPS or the Visorando app, which is the price you pay for getting off the beaten track. If necessary, there will always be a helpful sign to guide you back to the harbour.
