We are back at the great beach. It bears a different name, so it's probably a different one. The one beach is located somewhere down there. But I can hardly see anything, because this beach disappears at the horizon, where the other one begins. At regular intervals, dark structures stand in the golden sand. They...

The GR34 is usually a good choice for a hike. Especially when the sun is shining, as on this day. After days of gray and rainy weather, the joy for this walk is all the greater. And we are not disappointed. Neither by the weather nor the route. From the tiny parking lot — a...

It's a lovely diversion. We get out of our accommodation and yet don't have to be in this city. A short walk under a sky covered with deep clouds, before we cross one of the countless bridges over the river Odet and arrive at the museum through a narrow alley in the Locmaria district. High...

This part of Finistère seems crowded and overrun to me. And this already, when it's not yet full of tourists. However, I notice several vehicles with foreign license plates. Easter is indeed a popular travel time. Most visitors concentrate around the parking lots where the numerous surfers are. Here, where there are reasonably large waves,...

Just a small walk, yet it gives me so much. Especially now, when we live in a city that has welcomed us with lots of rain and low-hanging, gray clouds. Such a walk along the dunes and by the sea is almost healing. In any case, it is fulfilling and rejuvenating. La Torche seems to...

The journey begins in thick fog that shrouds the landscape like a mysterious veil. But as we approach our destination, the sky starts to clear. The last few kilometers take us along a narrow, winding road that snakes through the countryside until we finally reach the parking lot by the sea. What unfolds before our...

The parking lot is located on the edge of Trémazan right next to the D 127, with the North Atlantic opening up on its left side and a bay with a sandy beach on the right. My eyes are immediately captured by the dark blue sea of the North Atlantic. This is where our little...

This excursion is small and short, but I currently lack the strength for something bigger and longer. I'm struggling with the after-effects of a restless night and the still present pain in my back, although it has diminished somewhat. It's past noon when the sun appears, and that's the moment we set off. Station 1...

Like yesterday, today will be a day outdoors. And today we have again decided to go for a hike. We're heading to the western end of Finistère to Pointe Saint-Mathieu. It's simultaneously a memorial for all deceased Breton sailors and the site of an old monastery ruin and a lighthouse. A very popular destination, as...

From the small parking lot, I look directly at the sea. Our hike begins and ends here. But we leave the sea behind us in the first section. We walk along part of the same road that we drove to get to the parking lot. We pass the first houses, many of which didn't stand...
