Menhir of Cam-Luis
Highlight • Monument
Legend has it that it is erected on a treasure, accessible only on Christmas Day, at the stroke of midnight!
Bordering the shore on an uncultivated moor where rocks emerge, it serves as a landmark for coastal navigators.

Trail Reviews
Today we cycled towards Roscoff, staying as close as possible to this wildly romantic and beautiful coast. And today, as in the last few days, I noticed the GR 34 coastal path again. Many of these paths are not accessible by bike, but they are very scenic. It would be a challenge to take this route. But even from the bike path, you can enjoy beautiful views or simply find a route as close to the coast as possible.
