We suggest you to indulge in some gourmet stops in Douarnenez at the restaurant Le Bigorneau Amoureux. This picturesque little restaurant, superbly located thanks to its panoramic view of Douarnenez Bay and Tristan Island, will delight you with its specialty: stuffed potatoes. For a small break, don't hesitate to visit the Passerelle 27 tea room, located by the sea near the Rhu harbor in Douarnenez, specializing in regional pastries. And be sure to enter one of the many pastry shops in town, where the Kouign Amann is their specialty.

POINTE DU RAZ
The Pointe du Raz is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque and majestic places in Finistère, thanks to its rocks and far-reaching views. Located after the small village of Plogoff, the Pointe du Raz begins with a small flower-lined path, offering you a walk along the coast, from a high vantage point. Then, you will enjoy an incredible view of the lighthouse, which is isolated from the land and built on a small rock. Tourists say that the walk is enjoyable in both good weather and during storms. Near the Pointe du Raz reception, you will find various creperies, souvenir shops, local products like kouign-amann or Breton palets, and cafes for a break.
- Panorama
- Vertiginous chasms: including the Hell of Plogoff. It is recommended to walk around the point.
Lanniron's Favorite
To extend the walk, take a detour to the Pointe du Vent. Located next to the Pointe du Raz, it is even more picturesque and wild while offering a beautiful view of the Pointe du Raz itself.
AUDIERNE
Located near the Pointe du Raz and 32 kilometers from Quimper, Audierne is an active port, adorned with lively quays and winding alleys on the hillside. Fishing has made the town famous, and this activity now shares the spotlight with the omnipresent pleasure boating in the port.
