Improvised coastal walks

We had no idea where exactly we were and what we should have done. Clohars-Carnoët was a lovely place but not big enough to spend the whole day there. Walk with open eyes and welcome the upcoming opportunities! At least in this region of France tourists are well informed about the sites and possible hikes. You can find touristic maps all over in the villages!

We started with the track 5, that follows the cliffed coast for a while then turns towards inland and crosses a few villages. Port de Brigeau track number 5 The hike was beautiful Because of its distance from the inhabited area blue ocean, rocky cliffs and hidden beaches on your left rich flora and fauna, included the seasonal wildflowers alongside the path. It was wild, it was only for us . Was it? About 4 people

That’s how we ended up visiting both Argoat, the foresty inland of the Brittany Peninsula and Armor (Armorique, Armorica), the cliffed coast. What did we see in 2 days? 1.
