Plogoff / Audierne

This stage of the coastal cycle route takes you to the end of the world, to the heart of a grandiose landscape and wilderness. Leave the Pointe du Raz Grand Site de France behind, and head for Audierne and its fishing and yachting harbour. Along the way, take a look at the sheltered harbours, notably Bestrée, built by men to protect their boats from the onslaught of the sea. Heritage lovers won't want to miss the chapel of Saint-Tugen, passing through the village of Primelin, a fine example of Breton Renaissance architecture. Before reaching the center of Audierne, the cycle route skirts the sheltered and safe beach of Sainte-Evette.

The cycle route

The stage presents few difficulties between La pointe du Raz and Plogoff. For the rest of the route, the difference in altitude is slight. Crossing Audierne can be a little tricky in summer, due to heavy traffic. You can join the V45 cycle route from Quimper and Douarnenez, or make loops with the BreizhGo car+bike service.
