Penmarc’h / Pont-L'Abbé The Coastal cycle path in Brittany

This stage of the coastal cycle route is unique in that it follows the coastline and passes through several fishing ports. The first of these, Le Guilvinec, comes alive in the late afternoon, when the boats arrive. The panoramic terrace of the Haliotika discovery center is a good place to observe this impressive activity. Further on, the cycle route passes through the port of Lesconil, then Loctudy, where the "demoiselle de Loctudy" is fished. You then arrive in Pont-l'Abbé, capital of the Pays Bigouden. Its castle houses the town hall and a museum presenting traditional local society. The town is particularly lively on Thursday, market day.
