Good to know

What it leaves aside

This route focuses on the absolute highlights, meaning you will share the trails and towns with more fellow travelers, especially around Roscoff and the hamlet of Meneham.

Places it did not keep

The wild cliffs of the Crozon Peninsula and the westernmost point of Pointe du Raz, which lie further south.

Getting there

Fly to Aéroport de Brest-Bretagne (BES), 1 h 15 by public transport from the start.

Train to Morlaix, 21 min by public transport from the start.

Fly home from Brest Bretagne airport (BES), 36 min by public transport from the end.

Train home from Brest, 18 min by public transport from the end.

Where you sleep

The region offers a wide variety of accommodations including hotels, gîtes, campsites, and farm stays, but booking well in advance is highly recommended during the peak summer season.

Rain, wind and temperature are measured over the 8 h in the middle of the day, on a historical baseline of 40 observations (Open-Meteo). It is a measuring window, not the length of your day: each day of the programme counts 12 h of usable time.

The itinerary, day by day

6 stages over 7 days, in the order of the days. A stage appears on the day you first reach it: you sleep several nights at some, and a day trip leaves from your base and brings you back to it. Each day has its own page.

Every day of this trip has 12 h of usable time. Room to breathe — we have not padded these days to fill them: the free time left is part of the trip.
