July 23, 2024,Cap Fréhel – Lande de Fréhel rondtocht vanuit Plévenon

A nice walk past the lighthouse and fort. You will occasionally have to ignore the voice navigation instructions and go off the path. The same goes for the fort. Continue walking and you will reach the water on the right side. With a beautiful view of the fort.

As we passed through, Cape Fre'hel was almost on the way. How lucky that we went there. The heather was in its final stages of bloom and the sea was sparkling. The descent to the hidden beach with a view of the fort was really worth it. Wonderful round trip

May 21, 2024,Bretagne: Cap Fréhel & Fort de la Latte🔝

Today it was supposed to be a "Rother Top" tour, the only top tour that was realistically "hikable" on this vacation in this constellation. Unfortunately, the weather situation was very uncertain: according to the forecast, thunderstorms and continuous rain were possible. The fact that it hardly rained and the sun came out later was a welcome development.

May 16, 2024,Fort La Latte/Frankreich: Rundwanderung zum Cap Fréhel

I had to slightly adapt the tour planned in Komoot, because the path from the parking lot to Fort La Latte is only accessible during the fort's opening hours (10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.).
