Welcome to the Crozon Peninsula - Aulne Maritime! From the Aulne valley to the Iroise sea, the Crozon peninsula possesses a succession of outstanding views over countryside that still remains unspoilt.

Every year, attracted by the stunning scenery and the richness and diversity of the heritage, as well as the quality of the beaches and surf spots, thousands of you travel throughout our region in camper-vans or converted vans.

These still-pristine spaces are also extremely fragile. This is why, in a bid to reconcile exploring the sites with protecting the environment, we wish to structure and improve the accommodation provided for motor homes and converted vans.

In the first edition of this guide you will find all the practical information you need for your stay, and also a few rules to observe in order to help preserve the natural sites that makes this such a beautiful place. We hope you’ll find it useful throughout your stay.

We hope you enjoy your holidays and that you will play a part in this initiative towards conservation. All that remains for me to say to you is “degemer mat”!

Daniel Moysan, President of the communauté de communes
