Pointe de Saint-Hernot walks

Beautiful tour largely on the coastal path (GR34), via Cap de la Chèvre, which overlooks the bay of Douarnenez.

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 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.

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.
