Magnificent coastal hike. Superb coast with the St Mathieu lighthouse in your sights... Lunch at the Dantel crêperie halfway is a very good idea 👍

Always nice along the cliffs, of course on the GR 34 🙂. We climbed the St. Mathieu lighthouse last year. This time we came from the other side and it was beautiful again!
