Menez-Hom
This mountain of 330 meters is the highest point of Brittany. It is easy to climb and rewards you with an amazing view of the surroundings. From here you can see all quarters and enjoy a spectacular sunset. The Menez-Hom is an old volcano. It is popular among paragliders.
Point du Raz
This place is known for its view on the ocean and Ile de Seine. High waves beat steep rocks and it feels as being at the outer parts of the world. The surroundings of Point du Raz are nature conservancy areas. They are the habitat of seabirds.
Ile de Seine
From this isle you can see the Point du Raz from a different perspective. From this former World War 2 bulwark of resistance you can see the beach, the ocean and the locals’ colourful houses.
Mousterlin – Fouesnant
Bird watchers just have to visit this region. In the polder between Mousterlin and Fouesnant you will find a bird sanctuary. During summertime the local tourist office organizes walks here.
the Fouesnant coast
White beaches and blue-green water make this place a paradise for offshore fishing. The sea view is overwhelming. It is the place to spend a lazy day or walk the marked 9 km route along the coast. There are also longer walks from here (GR34, the so-called customs path, 1800 kilometres along the Breton and Norman coast).
BREST TERRES OCÉANES
Tour du cap de la Chevre
Another beautiful spot along the coast. When the sky is bright you can see several islands from the cap.

Huelgoat
Huelgoat harbours a legendary wood and is the cradle of many Celtic legends among which Arthur and Merlin. The river Argent is the home of fairies. The rocky landscape seems to join this storybook place. Some rocks resemble shapes like a bed, a wooden spoon, a fork and an umbrella.
