The Vauban Tower (French: Tour Vauban) or Camaret Tower is a defensive structure designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban in Camaret-sur-Mer on the west coast of Brittany.
Profile and floor plan of the tower

The hexagonal tower stands on a small peninsula off the coast of Camaret and is 18 meters high, with four floors. It was planned by Vauban starting in 1683, commissioned in 1689, and completed from 1693 to 1697 under the construction supervision of Jean-Pierre Traverse.

Camaret-sur-Mer boat cemetery

Highlight • Monument

The Camaret-sur-Mer boat cemetery is on the site of the François-Joseph Keraudren shipyard. Groundings are voluntary (reverse of groundings) for aesthetic purposes. The area is a furrow - a cord of natural pebbles like that of the English in Landévennec and that of Pâl in the same way - laid out by man on the road serving the port. Another boat cemetery is known on the Crozon peninsula, a military one, in Landévennec.

Pointe de Pen-Hir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tip of Pen-Hir is emblematic of the Crozon peninsula. When the sun shines, enjoy its turquoise waters. When the wind blows, the tumultuous currents and waves crashing on the rocks are an impressive sight.

September 16, 2022,🌟🌟 Wunderschöne Radtour zum Pointe des Espagnols und zum Pointe de Penhir ❤

This beautiful bike tour was very varied and led up and down on small streets with mostly great surfaces. That was pure pleasure. At the northern cape we had a nice view of Brest.

The second part of the tour was even more spectacular than the first. After a lunch break in Camaret-sur-Mer, we passed a field with 143 quartz …

Bike tour from the campsite in Camaret sur mer to the Pointe des Espagnols. Always following the coast on the D355 on the western side up north to Pointe des Espagnols and again south on the eastern coastline. Unfortunately, there are no bike paths there, so you are always on the normal road. With an e-bike, the climbs are no …

A pretty round that is unfortunately characterized by numerous wartime bunkers to secure the Straits of Brest. When visibility is clear, there are also nicer, and above all better, views.
