The Crozon Peninsula

Camaret-sur-Mer is a typical Breton port, lined with colourful houses that are perfect for strolling around. On its pier, you can admire the Notre Dame de Rocamadour chapel and the Vauban Tower, which was used to protect the entrance to the port from attackers, not to mention the ship graveyard!

Distance to cover: 15.5 km or 20.5 km (9,6 or 12,7 miles)

You begin your journey on the GR 34 heading south-west towards Pointe de Pen Hir, with its 90-metre-high cliffs and rocks jutting proudly out into the Iroise Sea (the Tas de Poix). The GR then takes you between moorland and sandy beaches to the village of Morgat, a former sardine and tuna fishing port now converted into a marina.

Distance to cover: 17 km or 22.5 km (10,5 or 14 miles)

Today, head for Cap de la Chèvre, at the southern tip of the Crozon Peninsula! You’ll be amazed by the 180-degree view of the ocean, Douarnenez Bay, and the islands of Ouessant and Molène!
Cap de la Chèvre takes its name from the Breton word ‘kaz’ (goat) or from Old French, referring to the presence of wild goats that once lived on its moors and steep cliffs. These animals were perfectly adapted to the area, able to move around on the cape’s steep terrain. The name therefore evokes both the wild nature of the place and its rugged landscape, typical of the Crozon peninsula.

Distance to cover: 16 km (10 miles)

Today you will discover a new iconic location on the peninsula: Pointe de Dinan. You will first cross the peaceful Breton countryside before discovering these steep cliffs sculpted by erosion, offering yet another breathtaking view of the ocean and surrounding bays!

Distance to cover: 13.5 km or 22.5 km (8,4 or 14 miles)

After a 40-minute private transfer, you will begin your hike in the village of Telgruc-sur-Mer or Saint Nic. You will walk along the beaches of Douarnenez Bay, a popular spot for Breton surfers, to reach the beach at Sainte-Anne-la-Palud!

Distance to cover: 14 km (8,7 miles)

The landscape alternates between low cliffs, meadows and cultivated fields, with superb views of Douarnenez Bay. The path then winds its way above small beaches and coves such as Kervel and Trezmalaouen, where the light and scenery change with the tides.
The terrain becomes gentler, lined with hedgerows and small villages with granite houses. Then the path descends towards Tréboul, the old maritime district of Douarnenez, offering a beautiful view of the fishing port and the town with its slate roofs.

In Douarnenez, you will immerse yourself in a truly maritime atmosphere, where history and everyday life blend with the rhythm of the tides. Start with a visit to the Port Museum, housed in a former warehouse, to discover the great epic of sardine fishing and boats from all over the world.

As you stroll through the town, take the time to wander between the four ports: the old port of Rosmeur, the peaceful Port-Rhu, the port of Tréboul and the marina. Each neighbourhood has its own character, with its flower-filled streets, fishermen’s houses and welcoming terraces where you can enjoy a crêpe or a kouign-amann facing the sea.

Another idea for your last day: relaxation! The beaches of Sables Blancs and Saint-Jean are perfect for relaxing or swimming.

End of stay after breakfast or additional night in Douarnenez.
