pointe de pen-hir

Sorry, but the nickname of the spectacular Breton Pointe de Pen-Hir is "Le Tas de Pois," or stack of peas - those rocky outcroppings that must have seemed like peas stretched out toward the wild sea. The setting - very easily accessible by road from the pretty port village of Camaret, with plenty of parking - is one of the best, at the tip of the Crozon Peninsula. The city of Brest is across the wide bay (we saw a shiny new French naval ship heading out to sea), and in the distance you can make out the island of Ouessant, France's westernmost point. There are coastal trails and a World War II museum set amongst German bunkers overlooking the strategic point. But watch out, rock climbers: we witnessed a helicopter rescue of someone who apparently got too close to the edge. Take a picnic - and stay on the trails!

We spent a number of hours walking up to Pen-Hir Point and taking in the stunningly beautiful coastline. The heather was in flower and the sun shone and glistened on the ocean. The museum was interesting and the stone circle worthwhile stopping and exploring. We would recommend a visit.

the whole area is absolutely stunning, but the views from these cliffs are amazing. There are plenty of places to park and the little museum is lovely and free, as is the parking. Do be careful with small children and the elderly as there are some sheer drops and uneven surfaces.

Easy to access. Brilliant high cliffs with beautful green sea crashing onto the rocks. The rock formations are wonderful and can be observed from a number of viewpoints. Only thing is there is no safety barrier so do not go too near the edge!

Stunning cliffs. War memorial. Great walk around from Camaret - a few miles. Lovely beaches on the way. If you walk back a different way, you can see the stone circle.

It is an easy drive our from Camaret-sur-mer and should be a must destination if you are anywhere in presqu'ile crozon. You drive out right near the tip of the peninsula and park your car. And then just wander to the edges of the cliffs and look down (if you dare) to the crashing ocean below. Nothing between you and the vast Atlantic. There are also some german WWII defensive positions which we did not look at.

La Pointe de Pen-Hir è una vera bellezza naturale che permette di affacciarsi su Falesie e scogliere da brivido.Aria pulita, mare a perdita d' occhio e scogliere che hanno preso forme bizzarre!Eccezionale!

Quelque soit la saison, c'est un lieu magnifique, voire magique ... Très dépaysant ! Nous nous sommes promené sur cette pointe en ce mois de février, le vent nous a ralentit mais la vue vaut le détour !

A voir .. mais comme l'ensemble de la côte bretonne en fait ... comment choisir ? tout est merveilleux ...

La penisola di Crozon è uno degli angoli più suggestivi della Bretagna e può essere visitata, sia in auto che a piedi, seguendo i sentieri che partono dalla deliziosa Camaret-sur-mer. Incontrerete panorami mozzafiato e bellissime spiagge deserte.La Penisola di Crozon è visitabile tutto l'anno, ma è preferibile il periodo estivo. Le spiagge sono facilmente accessibili, ma informatevi sulle condizioni del mare, perchè in alcuni posti la corrente è molto forte e fare il bagno può rivelarsi molto pericoloso.E' possibile visitare il monumento detto Croix du Pen-Hir e passeggiare lungo le scogliere a picco sul mare fino a raggiungere Cap de la Chevre, all'ingresso della baia di Douarnenez.Le zone intorno ai due semafori (fari) di Cap de la Chevre e di Toulinguet sono interdetti al pubblico in quanto zona militare.

visite des bunkers de la seconde guerre mondiale est possible à certaines périodes sinon la vue du haut des falaises est tout simplement à couper le souffle , de plus non loin de là il y a tout un ensemble de menhirs de toutes tailles à voir

Très bel endroit. Une vue magnifique, un environnement préservé et les vestige de la seconde guerre mondiale. Une balade pour en prendre pleins les yeux!!!

Avancez le regard droit devant, à gauche le rocher du lion surveille la pointe, un pas de plus et c'est l'atlantique puissant généreux, rude parfois et si beau à toutes les heures.Par jour d'orage venez voir les dernières lumières du soir rendre l'écume des vagues crémeuses sur des eaux turquoises.Un paysage de bout du monde assurément, Cette nature a du talent.On a aimé la regarder faire.

Avec une superbe vue sur la mer, les Tas de Poix...très beau panorama, par beau temps et sauvages quand il y a tempête. A voir le Monument aux Bretons de la France libre, le Mémorial de la Bataille de l'Atlantique...pour le reste, la nature est à parcourir avec de bonnes chaussures.

Lors de nos vacances en Bretagne, nous avons fait plusieurs pointe comme la pointe du raz, le cap de la chèvre, la pointe de Dinan... mais la plus jolie était commune mesure la pointe de pen-hir. La vue est fabuleuse et permet de voir d'autres pointes au loin et le panorama fait rêver. Conseillons vivement.
