Up in the air in Finistère
Take in the beauty of nature in the silence of Finistère’s skies: the views are breathtaking! Fly over the Menez-Hom in a paraglider or hot-air balloon, admire the majestic coastline of Douarnenez Bay, the sheer cliffs of Tréfeuntec, the endless beach of Pentrez and the lush green valley of Porzay. Carried along by the air currents, you’ll enjoy an extraordinary panoramic view of your surroundings and sensations that will stay with you forever.
Take to the skies! With their wide variety of terrain and landscapes, the Arrée Mountains are ideal for outdoor sports: mountain biking, hiking, horse riding and more. Climb to the top of Mont Saint-Michel or Roc’h Ruz and you’ll be treated to a breathtaking 360° panorama. It’s a striking and enigmatic landscape, where heather, gorse and rock intermingle as far as the eye can see.
Take to the water to unwind
Pont-Coblant in Pleyben, on the banks of the River Aulne, is the ideal starting point for a trip along the Nantes-Brest Canal in a canoe or on a paddleboard. Pass from one lock to the next as you explore this winding river bordered by greenery.
Further north, Le Drennec Lake is an oasis of peace in the heart of the Arrée Mountains. This freshwater lake is framed by elm and poplar trees, providing shade and creating an ideal environment for a spot of fishing. Nearby, Brennilis Lake is a haven that’s perfect for a relaxing day amidst the natural beauty of Finistère.
Not far away, you can plunge into the shady greenery of Huelgoat Forest. Follow the various paths threading their way through the trees, and listen to the cascading stream that rushes through the mossy boulders. This is a timeless space where you can simply unwind and lose yourself in its calming atmosphere.
Overlooking the sea
How do you fancy improving your swing by the sea? This is a unique experience and it’s right here in Finistère! Among our eleven golf courses, we have some absolute gems at La Forêt-Fouesnant, Plouarzel and Carantec. It’s a great opportunity to lose yourself in technical and fun courses in a blissful setting.
From Locquirec to Le Pouldu, the walking and hiking trails lead you from one fabulous view to the next, while never losing sight of the sea. From untamed coastlines to popular seaside resorts, you can follow the coast and make the most of the breathtaking maritime landscapes. It’s an ideal playground if you love hiking, combining the challenging coastal walks with their incredible views.
To the north, the Iroise Sea offers an ever-changing show of light and colour. At Pointe de Pen-Hir, a top spot for climbers, you can climb 70 metres above sea level listening to the waves as they crash on the rocks below. Admire the ballet of the boats coming and going, the mysterious Tas de Pois, the Tourelle de la Parquette, the lighthouse on Pointe de Saint-Mathieu, and the islands of Molène and Ouessant in the distance
