Difficult to return to Earth by discovering this exceptional natural heritage. Because when one stays in Finistère, we tend to get used to the beauty of the wild landscapes, the epidermis with the iodized air of the Atlantic Ocean or the Channel which caresses it. Not to mention the island of Sein, which faces the pointe du Raz.

Not to forget the main maritime cities such as Brest we will visit the Oceanopolis and the Maritime Museum, we will admire the Tanguy Tower and stroll through the National Botanical Conservatory, a 47 hectare haven of peace.We will also discover Concarneau, the fortified city, Douarnenez and its three ports, the privateer city of Roscoff and the charming little ports along the Finistère coast.
