View of Plage de l'Île Vierge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice point of view on the point. The beach on Île Vierge, very popular for its turquoise water, has been closed to the public since 2020. For good reason: its access on a steep and slippery path, considered too dangerous.

Summit of Ménez Hom

Highlight • Summit

Ménez Hom is a mountain located in Brittany, in the Finistère department, in the Cornouaille region, between Aulne and Porzay, on the territory of the municipalities of Plomodiern, Saint-Nic, Trégarvan and Dinéault where it rises to 329 meters altitude. It dominates the bay of Brest and the bay of Douarnenez, and ends the Black Mountains. The site was classified natural heritage in 2004 for its flora and fauna. The Breton word Menez means “mountain” or “mountain”. Komm (transferred here to C'homm) means in old and middle Breton "valley",. The valley is that of the Aulne, located below; Menez Hom thus meaning "the mountain of the valley (of the Alder)". Culminating at an altitude of only 329 meters, but appearing higher because it is very close to the sea (6 km), it is one of the sacred mountains of Armorica; The Ménez Hom is made up of two summits about 800 meters apart: the Petit Menez or Yelc'h and the main summit, called the Yed (Yed in Breton means "watch", which illustrates that it was a place conducive to the surveillance of possible invaders). the others being Karrek an Tan, Roc'h an Aotroù, Roc de Toulaëron4 (Roc'h Toull al Laeron in Breton), Menez Bré and Mont Saint-Michel de Brasparts (Menez Mikael-an-Are).

Crozon–Tal ar Groas greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Built on the old railway line linking Châteaulin to Crozon and Camaret, this greenway connects Tal Ar Groas (four kilometers east of Crozon) to Crozon, and extends for 2.5 kilometers towards Camaret, while waiting for the complete development of this old railway line, towards Camaret and towards Le Fret. The two greenway sections, on either side of Crozon, are very pleasant, easy and well laid out. The crossing of Crozon is a little more difficult, due to a small section with a steep gradient, and several sections on shared paths, without any facilities aimed at making cyclists safe.

Pont de Térénez

Highlight • Bridge

Imposing building that you have to visit if you are in the region. You can also take a break in the shade at the bridge pillars with a beautiful view.

The Térénez Bridge spans the Aulne between Argol and Rosnoën on departmental road 791, which connects Crozon with Faou. Located in Finistère, it is considered an essential element in the development of the Crozon peninsula, avoiding a 47 km detour via Châteaulin to reach northern Finistère.

Le Fret

Highlight • Settlement

Le Fret is a small town nestled south of Brest harbor. Attached to the town of Crozon, its port offers daily connections with Brest. Very nice little cafés liven up the quays. Don’t hesitate to have a coffee there while waiting for the boat.

Driving through the charming village of Le Fret, you will find a peaceful seaside atmosphere along the Crozon Peninsula. As you drive along the quiet coastal road, you will be able to admire the picturesque views of traditional Breton houses, the quaint fishing port and the calm waters of the bay. Be sure to stop at the water's edge to enjoy the serene setting, especially at sunrise or sunset, when the light casts a magical glow over the village and surrounding landscape.
