Crozon

The rocky promontories on the much indented Crozon peninsula, north of Cornouaille and the Pointe du Raz, offer the most splendid views in Brittany. Along the peninsula are a number of seaside resorts like Morgat, Camaret and Roscanvel. The Pointe de Penhir rises to a height of 70 m/230ft above the sea, with impressive views, particularly of the isolated crags known as the Tas de Pois (illustration, page 153), and a memorial to Bretons who fell in the Second World War. To the north is the Pointe des Espagnols, with a view of Brest, to the south Cap de la Chèvre. Between the Pointe de Penhir and Cap de la Chèvre is the Pointe de Dinan, from which there is a fine view of a rock known as the Château. A little way inland is the viewpoint of Ménez-Hom.
