Ménez-Hom

A wonderful panorama of the coast...

From its 330 meters high, hill Ménez-Hom is one of the highlights of Brittany.

The panorama of the bay of Douarnenez, the valley of Alder and the Crozon peninsula is truly exceptional.

Originally, it was a sacred mountain ... At the top, the solar cult used to be celebrated.

Today, fans of hang gliding, paragliding and model aircraft of France and Europe have replaced the ancient druids.

Many marked trails allow the visitors to discover the wilderness of the mountain.

Each year, from August 13 to 15, at the top of the mountain, the Festival of Ménez-Hom reflects the spirit of the Breton tradition.
