The trek: "The Path of the Lighthouses and Ouessant Island" with Sentiers Maritimes. This star-shaped adventure from Porspoder reveals Finistère's premier lighthouses—Trézien, Kermovan, Créac'h, and Stiff—plus the picturesque Château de Kergroadez.
Why it's exceptional: At Brittany's rugged western edge, beyond Brest, Ouessant stands as France's westernmost island, lashed by fierce waves and winds. Inhale invigorating, oxygen-laden sea air on the trail, then unwind at Porspoder Sand Castle. This eco-hotel, nestled in white sands facing the Iroise Sea, features a spa, sauna, jacuzzi, and fresh seafood cuisine.
