- Côte de Granit Rose (Ploumanac’h) — a surreal coastline of big pink boulders shaped like sculptures; the GR34 threads between them so you can walk right on the rocks at low tide, catch beautiful sunset colors and hunt for tiny tide pools and nesting seabirds.
- Cap Fréhel & Fort la Latte — twin highlights: a windswept cape with sheer cliffs and a squat lighthouse, plus the dramatic medieval Fort la Latte clinging to a rocky promontory; the views across heather and open ocean feel cinematic and you often get seabird displays and strong Atlantic spray.
- Pointe du Raz — Brittany’s answer to the edge of the world: huge, raw cliffs, pounding seas and powerful currents where the ocean slams into headlands; it’s the place for dramatic panoramas and that proper “I’m outside the map” wilderness feeling.

- Mont Saint-Michel Bay — the trail gives changing perspectives on the abbey rising out of tidal sands; the bay’s massive tides are the real show—timed right you’ll watch the sea sweep in and cut the mount off from the mainland, and the light on the abbey is unforgettable.
- Île de Bréhat — a tiny, car-free island reachable from the GR34’s coastal villages, full of blooming paths, pink granite coves and bright lighthouses; it’s mellow, very photogenic and a nice contrast to the exposed cliffs—bring a picnic and a camera.
