The Saint-Samson Chapel is said to be one of the most photographed in Brittany. Perched above the waves, it marks the boundary between the English Channel and the open sea. From Saint-Pabu, you reach it via small country roads criss-crossing the Léonard plateau, via Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau and Ploudalmézeau. You pass Portsall Cove twice before heading back along the coastal paths that follow the coastline as closely as possible, until you return to Aber Benoit. Fresh air and crystal-clear waters guaranteed.

Departure from Plouguerneau (Finistère)
A truly exceptional route along the banks of the Aber Wrac'h, surrounded by herons and egrets. Granite boulders rise out of the ground and oak trees cling to the small cliffs of brownish-yellow silt. Be careful, this scenery has to be earned as the bank is very muddy and slippery. Be sure to wear waterproof shoes or boots and bring walking sticks to avoid slipping. Check the tide times carefully and plan to set off two hours before high tide. As a guide, it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the Devil's Bridge.
