*From the oyster beds of Cancale via the Côte de Granit Rose, the Abers and the Crozon peninsula to the Pointe du Raz and the Ville Close in Concarneau: a good 800 km of coast where the tide table matters more than the speedometer.*

## The spirit of the route

You don’t drive Brittany in a straight line, you follow the water – and the water comes and goes. In Saint-Malo the tide rises by more than twelve metres, a few hours later boats lie tilted in the mud, and the way to the tidal island is dry again. Beyond Paimpol the granite turns pink, and between Ploumanac’h and Trégastel lie boulders as big as houses, worn smooth and framed by gorse and heather. In Finistère the coast gets rougher: lighthouses on cliffs, abers like miniature Norwegian fjords, the rock needles of the Tas de Pois off Pen-Hir. From the sliding door you smell seaweed, rain and crêpes from the market; in the evening gannets circle, and the wind shifts every hour. This route rewards short stages, walking boots for the GR34 and a willingness to sleep on designated aires rather than at the cliff car park.

## Stage-by-stage plan

### Stage 1: Saint-Malo to Cap Fréhel (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** From Saint-Malo along the coast to Cancale and up to the Pointe du Grouin, then back and across the road over the Rance tidal power station (D168) to Dinard. Continue on small coastal roads via Saint-Briac, Lancieux and Saint-Cast-le-Guildo to Fort La Latte and Cap Fréhel. Quiet departmental roads, with narrow passages and roundabouts in the resorts; a good 2.5 hours of driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Saint-Malo Intra-Muros: the walk along the ramparts and, at low tide, the footpath to the tidal island of Grand Bé – take the tide times at the access point seriously.
  - Cancale: oyster market at the Pointe des Crolles above the harbour of La Houle, then the Pointe du Grouin with views as far as Mont-Saint-Michel.
  - GR34 between Fort La Latte and Cap Fréhel: around 4–5 km over heathland cliffs, with seabird cliffs and the lighthouse at the cape along the way.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camping municipal du Cap Fréhel near Plévenon, simple and close to nature in the heath near the cape, open in season only; electricity and sanitary facilities available, check opening times beforehand. For the night before in Saint-Malo: Camping de la Cité d’Alet on the headland in front of the old town, or the large Aire Paul Féval on the edge of town, from where buses run into the centre.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Around Cap Fréhel and Fort La Latte – Grand Site Cap d’Erquy–Cap Fréhel and protected land – overnight parking in the car parks is not allowed. The cape car park offers only a few paid motorhome spaces, which according to user reports are often taken during the day and not permitted at night. In the area, park4night and Campercontact list municipal aires; check the signs on site for the current situation.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The harbour of La Houle in Cancale is narrow and steep – leave the motorhome up in the town or at the Aire de la Ville Ballet and walk down. The road over the Rance power station has a lock bridge that opens briefly for boats; allow for waiting time. In Saint-Malo, the car parks directly at the ramparts are unsuitable for motorhomes.

### Stage 2: Cap Fréhel to Paimpol (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** Via Sables-d’Or-les-Pins and Erquy to Pléneuf-Val-André, bypass Saint-Brieuc on the toll-free expressway N12, then via Binic and Saint-Quay-Portrieux along the Côte du Goëlo to Paimpol. Hilly coastal roads as far as Saint-Brieuc, then free-flowing; about 2 hours of driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Cap d’Erquy: pink sandstone cliffs, heath and bathing coves, with short walks from the car parks above.
  - Abbaye de Beauport near Paimpol: ruined 13th-century abbey by the sea, on land belonging to the Conservatoire du littoral.
  - Pointe de l’Arcouest with a view of the Bréhat archipelago – the departure point for tomorrow’s ferry.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camping du Cruckin near Kérity, a few minutes from the Abbaye de Beauport, with electricity and sanitary facilities, open seasonally. In Paimpol itself there are municipal motorhome spaces near the centre, according to aire directories partly with service points – check the current situation beforehand.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The Baie de Saint-Brieuc is largely a nature reserve; overnighting at the dune and beach car parks is not intended there. Many coastal car parks on the Côte du Goëlo have height barriers or signs with a crossed-out motorhome for the night – if in doubt, move to an aire.
- **Insider tip for campers:** In Paimpol, Tuesday is market day at the harbour; the centre and harbour car parks are then full. For the Bréhat ferry from the Pointe de l’Arcouest there are paid car parks, including a motorhome area without service points; in summer arrive early and follow the signs for motorhomes. Near Saint-Brieuc and Paimpol there are large supermarkets with a petrol station and often a waste-disposal point.

### Stage 3: Paimpol (Île de Bréhat) to Perros-Guirec / Ploumanac’h (approx. 65 km)

- **The drive:** In the morning on foot to the Île de Bréhat (crossing about 10–15 minutes), then over the suspension bridge of Lézardrieux across the Trieux, with a detour to the Sillon de Talbert, through Tréguier and via Port-Blanc to Perros-Guirec. Narrow country roads through vegetable fields, hardly any gradients; around 1.5 hours of driving time.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Île de Bréhat: car-free island with pink granite coves, hydrangeas and the Phare du Paon in the north, best explored on foot or by hired bike.
  - Sillon de Talbert near Pleubian: gravel spit more than 3 km long reaching out to sea, a nature reserve – stay on the path and respect the bird breeding zones.
  - Tréguier: Saint-Tugdual Cathedral with a cloister above the Jaudy.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Aire Camping-Car Park Perros-Guirec–Ploumanac’h on the Rue du Ranolien, since 2025 on part of the Ranolien car park (former football pitch) near the Sentier des douaniers: 49 pitches behind a barrier with electricity, access with the operator’s card or app; check the extent of the service facilities and the tariff for the season beforehand. Campsite alternatives: Camping Le Ranolien next door or Camping Tourony on the border with Trégastel.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** For years Perros-Guirec kept motorhomes from overnighting, and the Ranolien car park was closed at night. With the new aire there is a legal solution; on the other car parks along the Côte de Granit Rose night bans and height limits continue to apply. Whether motorhomes will be directed to the aire in future is governed by municipal orders (arrêtés) – follow the signs on site.
- **Insider tip for campers:** On Bréhat, boats leave from different landing stages depending on the state of the tide; at low water the walk to the boat is longer. It is better to hire bikes for the island on the spot. For the Sillon de Talbert use the car park at the access point and do not climb on the spit itself – it shifts and is fragile.

### Stage 4: Ploumanac’h to Roscoff (approx. 105 km)

- **The drive:** Via Trégastel, Trébeurden and Lannion to the Lieue de Grève, a 4 km sandy bay where the D786 runs right along the sea; via Locquirec and the coast road near Plougasnou to the Cairn de Barnenez, then bypass Morlaix and continue via Saint-Pol-de-Léon to Roscoff. Some winding coastal sections, otherwise good country roads; just under 2.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Sentier des douaniers (GR34) from Trestraou to Ploumanac’h with the Mean Ruz lighthouse – walk early in the morning, before the coach groups arrive.
  - Cairn de Barnenez: a burial mound about 6,000 years old above the Bay of Morlaix.
  - Roscoff: old town of merchants and privateers, the Jardin exotique and the ferry to the Île de Batz.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** In Roscoff the municipality has an aire with service points; check location, tariff and season in the aire apps. Campsite: Camping La Pointe de Roscoff near the Pointe de Bloscon, with electricity and sanitary facilities. In Saint-Pol-de-Léon there are more sites close to the beach.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** At the Lieue de Grève and in Trébeurden there are night bans for motorhomes at the beach car parks; the Côte de Granit Rose is part of a Natura 2000 area. The Sept-Îles are a bird reserve – visits only by excursion boat from Trestraou, without landing on the breeding islands.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Plan the boat trip to the Sept-Îles in the morning before setting off: thousands of pairs of gannets breed on Rouzic. The Bay of Morlaix has tidal roads and paths – for example to the Île Callot near Carantec: they can only be crossed at low tide, so heed the information boards with times. In Roscoff the Bloscon ferry port is the destination of the ferries from Great Britain and Ireland; on ferry days there is traffic there.

### Stage 5: Roscoff to Pointe Saint-Mathieu (through the Pays des Abers) (approx. 130 km)

- **The drive:** Along the Côte des Légendes via Plouescat, Brignogan-Plages and Kerlouan to Plouguerneau, then round the Abers Wrac’h and Benoît via Landéda, Portsall and Porspoder to Le Conquet and the Pointe Saint-Mathieu. Small, partly narrow coastal lanes with many bends around the inlets; if you want to be quicker, cut across via the D10/D28. With stops a full day, driving time alone about 3 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Meneham near Kerlouan: customs post and thatched houses between huge granite boulders.
  - Phare de l’Île Vierge off Plouguerneau, at more than 80 m the tallest stone lighthouse in Europe; boat trips from Lilia in season.
  - Pointe Saint-Mathieu: abbey ruins, lighthouse and memorial to the sailors lost at sea, with the open sea towards the island of Ouessant beyond.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Camping les Blancs Sablons near Le Conquet, behind the large dune bay, with electricity and sanitary facilities, open seasonally. If you want to split the day: Camping des Abers in Landéda at the mouth of the Aber Wrac’h with a view of the dunes of Sainte-Marguerite.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** In the Pays d’Iroise and along the Abers many municipalities ban motorhomes from standing overnight at beach and harbour car parks by order (arrêté); height barriers are widespread. Several municipalities run simple aires, often with a service point – use the list of the Communauté de communes or park4night.
- **Insider tip for campers:** The Abers are tidal inlets: at low water boats lie in the mud, and some waterside car parks are flooded at spring tides – check the tide times in the tide table (SHOM). In Le Conquet the ferries to Molène and Ouessant depart; only bicycles can be taken along, the motorhome stays on the mainland. The Pointe de Corsen near Plouarzel is the westernmost point of mainland France.

### Stage 6: Pointe Saint-Mathieu to Crozon / Camaret-sur-Mer (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** Via Plougonvelin to the Brest ring road, on the toll-free N165 towards Quimper as far as Le Faou, then on the D791 over the sweeping cable-stayed Térénez bridge across the Aulne onto the Crozon peninsula and on to Camaret. Expressway and well-built country road; about 1.75 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Pointe de Pen-Hir: cliffs over 60 m high, the rock needles of the Tas de Pois in front, and the memorial to the Bretons of Free France.
  - Camaret-sur-Mer: Tour Vauban (part of the UNESCO World Heritage Vauban fortifications) and the boat graveyard at the Sillon.
  - Pointe des Espagnols with a view over the Rade de Brest; Cap de la Chèvre and the sandy bay of Morgat.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Aires of the municipality of Crozon, including at Poulpatré, Morgat and Le Fret, partly in the Camping-Car-Park network with barrier, electricity and service points. Campsites: Camping les Pins in Crozon with full services or Camping de la Plage de Goulien on the west coast, quiet and close to the beach.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The peninsula lies within the Armorique Regional Nature Park and next to the Iroise Marine Nature Park. At the headlands (Pen-Hir, Toulinguet, Goulien) parking is only allowed during the day, with an explicit night ban at several sites; the municipality directs motorhomes to its aires. Individual car parks such as the one at the Pointe des Espagnols are listed in apps as tolerated for up to 24 hours – without camping behaviour and with an up-to-date look at the signs.
- **Insider tip for campers:** You don’t have to cross Brest itself – the ring road and the N165 are enough. Brest Métropole has introduced a low-emission zone (ZFE) for parts of the city of Brest; according to the Métropole’s plans it restricts only vehicles without a Crit’Air classification on weekdays at peak times, with checks via the sticker also for foreign vehicles. Check the area and times on the Métropole’s website before driving into the city. In Crozon and Morgat there are supermarkets with a petrol station and waste disposal. Drive to the Pen-Hir car park for sunset, but then return to the aire for the night.

### Stage 7: Crozon to Pointe du Raz (via Locronan) (approx. 110 km)

- **The drive:** On the D887 over the flank of the Ménez-Hom (scenic road to the 330 m summit as a detour) to Châteaulin, via Locronan and Douarnenez into the Cap Sizun, then via Audierne to the Pointe du Raz. Country roads, narrower and wind-exposed in the Cap Sizun; about 2.5 hours.
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Ménez-Hom: panoramic view over the Bay of Douarnenez, the Rade de Brest and the Monts d’Arrée.
  - Locronan: granite square with Renaissance houses and the church of Saint-Ronan, one of the “Petites Cités de Caractère”; the centre is car-free.
  - Pointe du Raz: rocky ridge above the Raz de Sein with the Phare de la Vieille and a view of the Île de Sein; quieter and just as spectacular is the Pointe du Van opposite the Baie des Trépassés.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** At the Pointe du Raz the Grand Site car park lies about 800 m before the semaphore, charged from April to the end of October, with a shuttle bus to the point; motorhomes have their own area. Overnighting in the car park is allowed for a night fee, according to the Grand Site 18 € per vehicle in 2026 – without electricity and service points. For electricity and sanitary facilities the campsites around Audierne and Plogoff are the alternative; in Locronan there is a Camping-Car-Park aire on the edge of the village.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** The Pointe du Raz is a Grand Site de France and protected land: away from the official car park, stopping and overnighting are not allowed, and the cliff paths are staked out to protect the heath. Plogoff and neighbouring municipalities direct motorhomes to their own spaces in the village; at the Baie des Trépassés night bans apply.
- **Insider tip for campers:** In Locronan don’t drive into the centre, but use the large car parks at the entrance to the village. On summer days the Pointe du Raz fills up from late morning – arrive early or in the late afternoon. In a storm the paths to the point are sometimes closed; the currents in the Raz de Sein are among the strongest in Europe, so do not attempt to climb on the rocks.

### Stage 8: Pointe du Raz to Concarneau (approx. 100 km)

- **The drive:** Back to Audierne, through the Pays Bigouden via Plozévet to the Pointe de Penmarc’h, to Pont-l’Abbé and via Bénodet and Fouesnant to Concarneau. Flat, open country roads, the only bottlenecks being the small harbour towns; a good 2 hours. Optionally you can then continue on the toll-free N165 to Carnac and Quiberon (around 120 km).
- **Highlights & must-sees:**
  - Phare d’Eckmühl in Penmarc’h: lighthouse with a spiral staircase you can climb, below it the harbour of Saint-Guénolé with surf-battered rocks.
  - Pont-l’Abbé: château with the Bigouden museum on the region’s tall lace headdress.
  - Ville Close in Concarneau: walled old town on an island in the harbour, reached on foot over the bridge.
- **Official campsite or RV park:** Aire du Porzou in Concarneau, municipal motorhome site within walking distance of the Ville Close, with service points and electricity according to aire directories. Campsite: Camping des Sables Blancs on a slope above the beach of the same name, with electricity and sanitary facilities.
- **Free camping or nature tip (where legal):** Concarneau and the neighbouring municipalities direct motorhomes to their aires; night bans apply at the harbour and beach car parks. In Carnac (extension) the town designates a zone for motorhomes at the Kérabus car park; on the Quiberon peninsula the car parks on the Côte Sauvage are off limits for the night.
- **Insider tip for campers:** Around the harbour and the Ville Close it is tight on market days and in summer – leave the motorhome at the aire and go on foot. If you continue to Carnac: the stone rows of Ménec and Kermario are fenced off in season and only accessible with a guided tour, information at the Maison des Mégalithes. You can reach Quiberon only via the D768 on the narrow isthmus of Penthièvre – with long queues on summer weekends.

## Camping practice & local rules

### Wild camping & overnight parking

- France distinguishes between “stationnement” (parking) and “camping”: a motorhome counts as a vehicle and may park anywhere – including overnight and with people inside – where parking is allowed for vehicles of its size. As soon as chairs, a table, an awning, wheel chocks, extended stabilisers or grey water come into play, it is camping, and that is forbidden in public car parks.
- Mayors can restrict parking by municipal order (arrêté municipal). In Brittany this is the rule on the coast: signs with a crossed-out motorhome, night bans (often roughly 10 pm to 7 am) and height barriers of around 2 m at beach and cliff car parks. The bans apply even if their legality may be disputed – a fine or towing is a risk.
- Wild camping is prohibited on the seashore, in classified landscapes (sites classés), in nature reserves and on land of the Conservatoire du littoral; Grands Sites such as Cap Fréhel and Pointe du Raz are off limits for the night outside the official areas.
- You can sleep legally on campsites, municipal aires de camping-car (often with a barrier and card payment, partly in networks such as Camping-Car Park) and with hosts of private networks such as France Passion, where winegrowers and farms offer a night in return for membership. Apps: park4night, Campercontact, CampingCar-Infos; users’ notes about new bans are usually more up to date there than any map.

### Waste disposal & supplies

- Service points (“borne de service”, brands such as Euro-Relais, Flot Bleu, Raclet) are found at aires and at many supermarkets; payment is by card, tokens or coins, and sometimes water is free. Grey water goes down the floor drain, the cassette into the separate outlet (“WC chimique”).
- Drinking water: “eau potable” is drinkable, “eau non potable” is not; taps with a thread are rare – bring a hose with various connectors. Never empty grey water or the cassette into drains or on beaches; checks are frequent on the coast.
- Gas: German exchange cylinders are not exchanged, and French cylinders (Butagaz, Antargaz, Primagaz and others) need their own regulators. Refillable tanks are filled at the LPG (GPL) pumps of supermarket petrol stations with a suitable adapter (bring an adapter set, dish/bayonet); not every pump is staffed around the clock.
- “24/24” fuel machines do not always accept foreign cards; fill up during the day at the staffed till. Supermarkets such as Super U, Intermarché or E.Leclerc often have a launderette and waste disposal on site.

### Vehicle size & traffic rules

- Speed limits for motorhomes up to 3.5 t: 130 km/h on motorways (110 in rain), 110 km/h on expressways with separated carriageways (100 in rain), 80 km/h on roads without a central divider – some departments have reverted to 90 km/h, so heed the signs – and 50 km/h in built-up areas. Over 3.5 t: 110 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on expressways, 80 km/h on country roads. Combinations over 3.5 t permitted gross train weight drive slower still (90 km/h on motorways, 80 km/h on country roads).
- Vehicles over 3.5 t – motorhomes included – have had to carry “Angles morts” (blind spot) stickers on both sides and at the rear since 2021; if they are missing, a fine of 135 € (flat rate of the 4th class) applies.
- Low-emission zones: on 21 May 2026 the Constitutional Council struck down the abolition of the ZFE passed by Parliament; the zones remain, and the rules differ greatly from city to city. Order the Crit’Air sticker only on the official site certificat-air.gouv.fr; it also applies to driving restrictions during smog episodes. On this route this mainly concerns the journey there and back via Rennes or trips into the city of Brest – check the situation beforehand.
- Tolls: Brittany is practically toll-free – the expressways (voies express) N12, N164 and N165 cost nothing. Tolls only arise on the journey there, for example on the A11 and A81; class 2 applies to vehicles up to 3.5 t with a height of 2 to 3 m, class 3 to two-axle vehicles over 3 m high or over 3.5 t, class 4 to three or more axles. If you arrive via Paris and Normandy: on the A13/A14 tolls are collected barrier-free (free flow) – pay online within 72 hours or use a toll tag.
- Bans on vehicles over 3.5 t or over certain widths are common in coastal towns and on harbour roads, as are height barriers at beach car parks. Blood alcohol limit 0.5, for novice drivers 0.2; mobile phones at the wheel and also headphones or headsets are prohibited. Keep a high-visibility vest within reach in the driver’s area and carry a warning triangle.

## CampingSpirit packing & preparation checklist

- Tide table or SHOM app – decisive for Grand Bé, Bréhat, Île Callot, the Abers and car parks along the water that can flood.
- “Angles morts” stickers if the motorhome weighs over 3.5 t, and the Crit’Air sticker for the journey there and for cities.
- Wind- and rainproof clothing with a hood plus walking boots: on the GR34 it blows hard even in August, and showers pass through quickly.
- Water hose with several connectors and a gas adapter set for French LPG pumps.
- Binoculars for gannets at the Sept-Îles, seals in the Molène archipelago and seabirds at Cap Fréhel.
- Credit card with PIN and some cash in coins for barrier aires, service points and ticket machines at the Grands Sites.

_As of 2026-09. Closures, fees and booking rules change: check official sources before you go._
