Your stay
The Cornouialle in Brittany by bike. Join us at the wild and spectacular “end of the world”!
We offer you a cycling trip to the “end of the world”. Visit Cornouaille in Brittany by bike along the Atlantic coast, starting from Quimper in Finistère!
Wild and authentic, Cornouaille opens up its vast natural spaces to you by bike, as you discover its colorful folk traditions. Cradled by the sea and the light, Cornouaille is a paradise for artists, sports enthusiasts and lovers of beauty and sweet delicacies.
Departing from Quimper, your cycling trip takes you first to the heights of the Bay of Douarnenez, to one of Brittany’s most charming villages: Locronan, a granite town. Here, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view, followed by a beautiful descent to your charming seaside hotel. Here, you’ll enjoy a bit of peace and quiet, like a sailor returning to port, to recuperate from your first efforts.
The next day, the Pointe du Raz awaits you. Beware, a grandiose spectacle! Labelled a Grand Site de France, the Pointe du Raz is a natural masterpiece. Between waves and steep rocks, you’ll be fascinated by the wild beauty of this point marking the westernmost tip of the country. Here, Finistère lives up to its name: you’ll feel far, far away, at the end of the world… You’ll have to leave your bikes behind to reach the Pointe. The jagged coastline, sheared by the wind and the incessant rhythm of the tides, offers spectacular scenery. And if there’s no “heavy weather”, the sea bass fishermen will give you a dance demonstration on the waves that form between the Pointe and the Ile de Sein.
Your bike trip continues along the coast, then returns inland, passing through the capital of the Pays Bigouden before following the Odet and finishing in Quimper.
This journey from point to point shows a wild Brittany where the character of men seems to be forged.
You'll enjoy :
- A land of Breton legends and traditions
- The City of Art and History of Quimper and its earthenware factory
- Pointe Raz… at the end of the world!
- The fishing ports of Douarnenez and Audierne.
- Locronan, one of Brittany’s most beautiful villages
