The town of Chateaulin situated near the mouth of the River Aulne and near the start of the Brest Nantes Canal
The chapel Sainte-Marie-du-Ménez-Hom - a very ornate church.
Menez-Hom is a hill not far from the church with fantastic views around that part of Brittany. My friends Eve and Al at the summit. It was a very windy day and there were many people there flying radio controlled model gliders.
The view south over the Baie de Douarnenez towards the town of that name
And the view over the River Aulne towards Brest
Eve took this picture of me taking the photographs above
The Pointe de Penhir near the town of Cameret-sur-Mer
Rocky Islets off the Pointe
The Cross of Penhir, a Monument to the Bretons of Free France
We saw this climber ascending this rock adjacent to the monument
Apparently, people who wish to climb mountains start here.
A memorial to those who fought in the Battle of the Atlantic constructed around bunkers constructed by the German Occupying forces as part of their Atlantic Wall defences. Today it also hosts a museum dedicated to the battle.
Two views of the bunkers and other works.
