Departure from Fouesnant (Finistère)
The writer Marcel Proust and the musician Reynaldo Hahn stayed at Beg-Meil from 8 September to 27 October 1895: a life of daydreaming by the sea and leisurely strolls through a landscape of remarkable beauty. Simple pleasures: the seaside and country life.
This walk will take you on a journey through Beg-Meil as it was in those days, taking in the former Hôtel Fermon where he stayed, the terrace at La Cale where he loved to write, and the beaches where he used to relax!

Departure from Fouesnant (Finistère)
The Pointe de BegMeil is bordered by the sea, yet this route turns its back on it.This circuit offers the chance to discover another aspect: the bocage. Walk along sunken lanes, through hamlets and past old farms, bordering the Mousterlin Marshes in places.
