Biketour around Brest

Day 1: Individual arrival in Brest

Welcome to Brest – the gateway to the wild Atlantic and the very edge of Europe. Take your time to settle in and soak up the city’s unique maritime atmosphere as you begin your cycling adventure. The National Maritime Museum, housed in the historic Château de Brest, the Tour Tanguy Museum and the lively harbour all reflect the region’s rich seafaring heritage. A ride on the cable car offers impressive views over the Brest roadstead and takes you across to the modern Capucins district.

Day 2: Brest – Le Conquet, approx. 35 km

Your Biketour around Brest begins along the dramatic Iroise coastline. Passing historic fortifications and coastal memorials, you ride with constant views of the Atlantic. Several lighthouses line the way before Pointe Saint-Mathieu rewards you with sweeping views over the Molène archipelago. An optional excursion to Ouessant Island is possible.

Day 3: Le Conquet – Landunvez – Porspoder, approx. 35

This stage takes you past the peaceful Ria du Conquet and on to the sweeping Blancs Sablons beach. At the edge of Europe, between the English Channel and the Atlantic, Plouarzel features the Trézien lighthouse and the semaphore at Pointe de Corsen, overseeing this busy maritime passage. In Lanildut, visit Europe’s first seaweed harbor and learn about this fascinating tradition at the Maison des Algues. The journey continues through idyllic coastal landscapes to the small seaside resort of Porspoder.

Day 4: Porspoder – Landéda, approx. 50 km

Along a rugged coastline, charming highlights await: the small port of Argenton, the surfing beach of Penfoul, and the secluded chapel of Saint-Samson offer a varied glimpse into the region. Offshore lies the island of Melon, while the impressive Four lighthouse keeps watch over the cliffs. In Portsall, the memory of the Amoco Cadiz oil spill lingers, before continuing along the Aber Benoit to Landéda. The megaliths of Guilliguy, a protected historic site, provide an impressive end to the day.

Day 5: Porspoder – Landéda, approx. 50 km

Following the Aber Wrac’h, you reach the impressive Île Vierge lighthouse near Plouguerneau. Climbing its 397 steps offers spectacular coastal views. White sandy beaches and the traditional hamlet of Meneham mark the way to Brignogan Plages.

Day 6: Brignogan Plages – Landerneau, approx. 50 km

Today, your Biketour around Brest leads through the peaceful landscapes of Goulven Bay, known for its dunes and birdlife. Historical landmarks in Lesneven and an optional detour to the Basilica of Folgoët add cultural depth before you continue to Landerneau, famous for its inhabited bridge and contemporary art centre.

Day 7: Landerneau – Brest, approx. 25 km

The final day of your bike tour around Brest is a short, relaxed ride along the Elorn River towards the Forest of Landerneau. Soon, the harbor of Brest and its marina open up, perfect for a stroll along the quays of Moulin Blanc. Cultural highlights await in the city: Oceanopolis, the National Centre for Scientific Culture dedicated to the ocean and one of France’s largest aquariums, is worth a visit.
