Pointe St Mathieu is emblematic of North Finistère: located at the South West point of Pays d'Iroise, 2.5 km from the cottage, it takes you to the end of yourself:
· higher (lighthouse culminating at 37 m, remains of the Maurist abbey, military semaphore)
· further on (240 ° panorama over the sea and in good weather to Pointe du Raz
deeper (museum 39-45 in a bunker and Cenotaph dedicated to the sailors who died for France)
With a little luck, the dolphins that inhabit the
Iroise Marine Natural Park will accompany you during the crossing to Molène or
Ouessant. Another world at the end of the world, a life of islanders on
confetti of wild and wonderful lands
Pointe St Mathieu is the preferred destination for people seeking tranquility, ideal for families with young children. The Le Conquet-Molène crossing only lasts half an hour.
Located 25 km from the coast, the island of Ouessant is the westernmost land in mainland France. We nickname it the
sentinel island
The Pays d'Iroise county is crossed by 4 signposted bicycle circuits, one of which goes through Lochrist. A bike rental, Wild Ride, is located 2 steps from the cottage.
Cycling is a good way to get around in Iroise and
Ouessant. An original way to discover sites that have marked the history of our
Pays d'Iroise! Listen to your desires and go on an adventure on marked circuits
or gentle paths that will allow you to reach the towns of the various
municipalities of the Pays d'Iroise.
