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

Daily program

Day 1 - Arrival in Quimper

Welcome to your hotel in the late afternoon.

Let yourself be charmed by this mythical city in Brittany and its three ancient hearts. A gourmet town with lively shopping streets, and the cultural capital of Brittany, which was awarded the Grand Prix National du Fleurissement!

Overnight in Quimper.

Day 2 - From Quimper to Douarnenez

You leave Quimper on a cycle path laid out on a former railroad line, which takes you to Douardenez, the town of three ports! Take in the view over the bay to reach one of Brittany’s most impressive villages: Locronan. The port of Douardenez and its bay await you for the night.

Day 3 - From Douarnenez to Plogoff

Cross the port of Douarnenez, then sail along the bay to the Pointe du Van and discover the Baie des Trépassés. An end-of-the-world atmosphere awaits you, along with one of Brittany’s most beautiful sunsets.

Dinner included

Day 4 - From Plogoff to Pouldreuzic

After a few kilometers, you strap on your bikes and set off along the trail to the Pointe du Raz. A beautiful walk at the end of the world, and a guaranteed spectacle! Then back to the bikes and along the Bay of Audierne to the port of the same name. Follow the “Route du Vent Solaire” to Pouldreuzic.

Day 5 - From Pouldreuzic to Quimper

At the end of the day, you’ll gradually leave the coast and reach the capital of Brittany’s Cornouaille region, the City of Art and History of Quimper. After crossing the bucolic countryside of the hinterland to the historic town of Pont-L’abbé, nestling at the bottom of the estuary, you reach an old railway line. This is now a beautiful greenway that takes you to the banks of the Odet, the river that flows through Brittany’s earthenware capital, and on to Quimper town center and its impressive cathedral.
