De nombreux sentiers vous permettent de découvrir ce « voyage du bout du monde » : diversités du patrimoine, traditions du Pays Bigouden, du Cap Sizun et du Pays de Douarnenez. Vous pourrez profiter de la succession des falaises de Douarnenez jusqu'à la Pointe du Raz L et des étendues dunaires ou étangs de la Baie d'Audierne. Le retour des bateaux dans les ports de pêche ajoutera une note de charme à cette randonnée typique !!! La Pointe du Raz est sans aucun doute le site le plus connu de Bretagne, avec plus d’un million de visiteurs par an. La pointe marque l’extrémité occidentale de la France. Elle est célèbre dans le monde entier. Victime de son succès, la zone a été ravagée par le passage des touristes et la laideur des constructions. Depuis quelques années, une ambitieuse campagne de réhabilitation a été entreprise. Les voitures ont été éloignées. L’ensemble du site a été complètement réaménagé afin de lui redonner sa beauté d’antan. Maintenant la pointe a retrouvé son aspect sauvage et les seuls êtres vivants présents en dehors des promeneurs, sont les oiseaux. Alors n’hésitez pas, allez parcourir cette lande battue par les vents au pied de laquelle les vagues se brisent contre les rochers. Le spectacle est grandiose. Et par beau temps, restez admirer le coucher de soleil sur le raz de sein. C’est magique ! Tiré du site : www.jedecouvrelafrance.com › LE PROGRAMME FL011 7 jours, 6 nuits et 5 jours de randonnée.

    TRIP IDEA From sea to plate in West Cornouaille. Caption: Taste the delights of the sea and awaken your taste buds during a stay at the tip of Brittany. On the menu: gulps of salty air and sweet & savoury strolls to consume without moderation! AT A GLANCE Stunning views of Pointe du Raz, endless fine sandy beaches, fishing ports where crayfish and line-caught sea bass are unloaded… In West Cornouaille, the sea is on your doorstep wherever you go! The tip of Brittany is also the birthplace of some essential regional dishes, including kouign-amann and Hénaff pâté From the narrow streets of Douarnenez, a city with a history based on sardine-fishing, to the cookery workshop of a sea fisherwoman in Guilvinec, via a sea trip in Audierne bay, this stay will make your mouth water! Day 1 Douarnenez, in the footsteps of the "Penn Sardin" First get settled and then discover Douarnenez at your pace. Follow the "Chemin des sardines” to understand the town’s rich sardine past.

For a seaside atmosphere, head to the Tréboul neighbourhood and its beautiful beaches lapped by crystalline water. Don’t miss out on the guided tour of Tristan Island. This haven of greenery has a wonderful exotic garden. Between the sea and the countryside, the natural site of Plomarc'h is an exceptional place for a walk, with its old fishermen's houses.
