Gwin Zégal is the extraordinary little harbor with wooden piles at the foot of the high cliffs of Plouha. It is considered one of the last preserved pile harbors in France. The boats are not moored to jetties there, but are tied up between rows of oak logs driven into the seabed. If you want to go to the offshore island: pay attention to the tides

In this case, you'd first drive there, then return via the GR34, which offers great views, and then cycle back to the car. This is at least convenient for the climb from the parking lot.

Bonaparte Beach, named after the code name given to this historic site during World War II, is also known as Anse Cochat. It has the unique feature of being accessible via a tunnel carved into the rock. From this stretch of beach, now known as "Plage Bonaparte," members of the French Resistance smuggled 135 English and Canadian pilots—including Jane Birkin's father—whose planes were shot down to England during World War II, past the Nazis. Commemorative plaques in the tunnel still bear witness to these events.
