Cliffs that plunge into the sea. Fields with dense bushes adorned with golden-yellow blossoms, where the air is fragrant with coconut. These are the pearls of Brittany, the colors of this coast that I have never before perceived with such intensity. Here it is the first impression and a lasting one. Everywhere and on every...

The weather is changeable all morning. At noon, the sky clears up and the sun comes out. We also go out for a walk here in Quimper. Not into the city, but out to its outskirts. Surprisingly, it is very green. Along the streets, meadows, trees, and shrubs line the way, and there's a scent...

A beautiful path that begins by the sea, where the sun's rays glitter, and ends there again. In between, it leads over field paths from which one overlooks endlessly green landscapes, and through small villages with magnificent houses on spacious grounds and splendid colorful gardens. Then onwards through avenues of majestic, sweeping trees that provide...

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...

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 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...

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...
