Tour of the Bigouden Region (Finistère)
|
|
Starting in Pont-l'Abbé, the historic capital, this journey takes you to the heart of the Pays Bigouden region. The path follows the river towards Loctudy and its manor houses, then reaches the lively fishing ports of Lesconil and Le Guilvinec, where the return of the trawlers sets the rhythm of local life. In Penmarch, the Eckmühl lighthouse overlooks a wild coastline where nature braves the sea spray, while the Pointe de la Torche in Plomeur reveals endless sandy beaches popular with surfers. Passing through Saint-Jean-Trolimon, the religious heritage is expressed through monumental calvaries, testaments to an ancient devotion. The return inland via Tréméoc offers a peaceful, wooded transition before reaching the sheltered shores of Combrit Sainte-Marine. Finally, passing through Île-Tudy, a former fishing village with narrow streets, completes this ecologically rich coastal loop.
