The Pointe du Raz is the most westerly point in France, and a walk not to be missed
The only Breton site classified Grand Site de France (the label has been renewed for a period of 6 years in 2019), the Pointe du Raz is the westernmost point of France, and a walk not to be missed. The perimeter of this label extends over five communes: Beuzec Cap Sizun, Goulien, Cléden Cap Sizun, Plogoff and Primelin, covering 8,679 hectares. It is in a dream setting that walks and mountain bike rides are made. With the old lighthouse a short distance away, the Baie des Trépassés below and the Pointe du Van on the other side of the bay, it is not surprising that this place has inspired some of the greatest writers, such as Hugo or Flaubert. The granite spur of the Pointe du Raz can be seen as the end of the world, or the beginning... An idyllic place from where you can see the Ile de Sein if the clarity of the sky allows you to... Particularly visited in summer, it will be necessary to be careful for the lovers of silence and solitude. To note: a very large car park awaits you at the entrance of the point, a car park that overlooks a food court that also offers shops popular with tourists. Here again, many people in good weather, it is not always the ideal place for a discovery of the point in love or in peace and quiet. Clever: drizzle or rain, here is a beautiful climate to discover this wild and authentic place. Finally, a minibus is available from the car park for people who cannot walk to the point.

Tres beau site naturel.
Prévoir de bonnes chaussures et un coupé vent car ça souffle bien!!
Nous on l a fait un jour de pluie et assez venteux et c'était vraiment impressionnant !
Un incontournable de la Bretagne!
A revoir en hiver
Nous sommes partis à pied par le GR34 de la baie des Trépassés (1h en s'arrêtant prendre des photos)
Sentier difficile et NON protégé. Prévoir bonnes chaussures.
Attention : pour préserver le site, les parkings sont TRÈS LOIN de l'extrémité de la pointe avec le point de vue. A déconseiller aux personnes qui marchent mal ou fatiguées.
NB : nous avons rejoint notre voiture en stop (après avoir marché tout le chemin qui mène aux parkings, en passant par les multiples magasins)
