Plougonvelin walks

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
