The Crozon Peninsula reaches into the Atlantic between the Rade de Brest and the Bay of Douarnenez, and forms part of the Parc naturel régional d'Armorique. Its four headlands are linked by the GR34 coastal path, with heathland, old fortifications and coves of white sand along the way.
Pointe de Pen-Hir
The peninsula's most famous viewpoint looks over the Tas de Pois, a line of sea stacks running out into the ocean. There's a memorial to the Free French Bretons of the Second World War on the headland, and the nearby Lagatjar standing stones.
Camaret-sur-Mer
A colourful fishing port with a sandy spit topped by the Tour Vauban, a red-ochre fortified tower that's part of the UNESCO-listed Fortifications of Vauban. Nearby the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Rocamadour holds sailors' votive offerings.
Morgat and Cap de la Chèvre
Morgat is a small resort on a sheltered bay, known for its sea caves, best seen on a boat trip or by kayak in calm weather. South of it, the wild Cap de la Chèvre and the beaches of La Palue and Lostmarc'h are beautiful, though swimming there is dangerous because of strong currents.
Inland
Climb the Ménez-Hom (330 m) for a panorama over the whole peninsula, or visit the abbey of Landévennec on the Aulne estuary.
