North Finistère
You've reached the end of the world, the penn ar bed. Congratulations!
Now, it's all very well here, but you want to travel to the other end of the world. Here are our tips and addresses.
By bike
Cycling the Côte des Légendes
Vacations also mean taking the time to discover the countryside at your leisure.
You'll have no trouble getting around the Côte des Légendes by bike (just be warned that it's a bit of a climb from Plouider...).
The seven signposted cycle routes, known as "Tro Vélo", are interconnected, and many follow the route of the V45 coastal cycle route. The latter skirts the shores, bays and jagged coastline, guiding the traveler from port to beach between Roscoff and Nantes, once finalized. The itinerary is still under development, but there are already some great escapes to be had: from Roscoff to the Pays des Abers, the tip of Finistère around Brest, from the Pointe du Raz to the Laïta, the Quiberon peninsula and the Rhuys peninsula. A breath of sea air not to be missed!
Getting around by car

No freeways in Brittany, but free expressways! If you get off at Ploudaniel, you'll be able to use the expressways to Brest, Morlaix or Landerneau.
