La Plougastell 2026

If you want a trail that smells of sea spray and damp earth, La Plougastell in Plougastel-Daoulas ticks all the boxes: Finistère just the way we like it—wild, green, and truly a change of scenery 🗺️.

Two formats, two vibes: the 8 km to treat yourself without burning out, and the 14 km to go a bit further into Brittany in “it climbs, it twists, it kicks back up” mode 💪.

Here, you come to take on generous nature: stretches through the forest, paths that smell of bracken, and that little mountain feel that reminds you that “Plougastel” sometimes rhymes with “thighs on fire” 😅.

Keep your eyes open, because the fun isn’t only about the clock (yes, I know—you’ll look anyway) 👀.

And after the effort, everything’s right there to stretch out the day just steps from the start: take a look at the Calvary of Plougastel, head to Daoulas Abbey for a real timeless moment, then go breathe by the water over at Anse de Penfoul 🌊.

If you’re coming as a duo or with the whole crew, you can finish with a sunset stroll on the peninsula, or push on to Brest for a drink on a terrace and a view that’s well worth the detour 🍹.

So, are you lining up for the 8 or the 14—short nature escape or a big Breton getaway? 🥾
