The best traffic-free bike rides around Plougastel-Daoulas

Very practical... Thank you for this equipment.

A magnificent landscape on both sides!!!

There is no road on this viaduct, just a railway! Komoot won't suggest it to you anyway. The road passing at the foot is a fairly large country road but pleasant. When it is not cluttered with brambles, it is possible to take a pedestrian and cycle path bordering the road on the pond side when leaving Le Relecq Kerhuon, up to the first crossroads (direction Le Douvez, Landerneau).

This chapel is dedicated to Saint-Claude, the 7th century bishop of Besançon. From the chapel, there is a view of the mouth of the Aulne and a glimpse of the Menez-Hom mountains. The 16th century building with a Latin cross plan consists of a short nave, a large transept and a chevet "Beaumanoir" of 1574. The bell tower with ornamental openings is crowned by a dome topped by a lantern. Some parts of the ancient sculptures recall a previous cult practiced on this site. In 1968, the azure ceiling was replaced by lacquered paneling and the interior plaster was removed to reveal the stones. The chapel is currently open every Sunday afternoon.

Nice view of the bay and easy to drive as no cars can cross this small cycle and pedestrian bridge.

Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Brest, it towers majestically above the Élorn - the Pont de l'Iroise. Its impressive silhouette, spanning the river between Le Relecq-Kerhuon and Plougastel-Daoulas, offers both locals and visitors an impressive perspective of the region. As you cycle across the bridge, you are accompanied by a magical panorama: If you look inland, the scenery opens up to a picturesque interplay of land and water. If you look to the other side, your eye will be rewarded with an unforgettable sea view. The bridge is a gift for cyclists. Here, in the flatter part of Brest, cycling is particularly pleasant. There is also a wonderful view of the city from here. The technical specifications of the Iroise Bridge are also remarkable. Located on the RN165, which connects Brest and Quimper, it is one of the most impressive cable-stayed bridges in France. It ranks in the list of main spans just behind the famous Pont de Normandie and the Pont de Saint-Nazaire, but ahead of the imposing Viaduc de Millau. But it's not just their size that makes them a highlight in the region. Photographers particularly appreciate the smaller bridge, which is closed to cars. From here you can capture the imposing Pont de l'Iroise in all its splendor.

Nestled in the picturesque backdrop of the Elorn and the port of Brest, the “Pont de Plougastel”, better known as “Pont Albert-Louppe”, rises into the sky. It served as the only connection across the river from 1930 to 1994, before the Iroise Bridge was added. Before this bridge dominated the landscape, people were solely dependent on ferry services. The majestic construction of the Pont Albert-Louppe stretches over 880 meters and towers 42 meters above sea level. What makes this bridge particularly remarkable are its three arches - with the largest of them holding the world record for concrete arch bridges at 186.4 meters. Nearby and in impressive contrast is the Iroise Bridge, built between 1991 and 1994, which crosses the Elorn between the towns of Relecq-Kerhuon and Plougastel. With a length of 800 meters and a span of 400 meters between its two pylons - which stand 83 meters above the deck - it was the bridge with the longest span in the world when it opened. It connects Brest with Quimper in Finistère and is reserved exclusively for car traffic. The closed Pont Albert-Louppe offers a privileged vantage point for pedestrians and photographers. From here you can not only capture the imposing Iroise Bridge in all its glory, but also enjoy a breathtaking view of the Elorn and the port of Brest. Among France's cable-stayed bridges, the Iroise Bridge takes third place, after the Pont de Normandie and the Pont de Saint-Nazaire, and ahead of the impressive Viaduc de Millau.

The Albert-Louppe bridge, first called the Plougastel bridge and still called the first Plougastel bridge, crosses the mouth of the Élorn in the harbor of Brest to connect the communes of Plougastel-Daoulas to Relecq-Kerhuon. It has been closed to cars since the construction of the new bridge. Access is therefore now reserved for pedestrians, bicycles, rollerblades, etc.
