Landunvez tourist route and Saint-Samson chapel

Whether on foot along the GR 34, by car or by bike, take the time to admire this wild coastline and stop off at the Saint Samson chapel, a must on this 5-kilometre long tourist trail. It offers a wonderful balcony overlooking the Chenal du Four and the Rochers de Portsall.

Starting from Penfoull beach, a vast beach 700m long and 200m wide, forming a mini aber. The cliffs on either side of the beach create a favorable environment for board sports. The 200 m long tongue of fine sand is a surfer's paradise.

The little chapel of Saint-Samson dates from the second half of the 18th century, and offers a marvellous panoramic view of the ocean.

Below the chapel flows a fountain whose miraculous virtue was used not so long ago. It was customary to plunge children into the fountain to give them strength.

The presence of a Gallic stele near the fountain attests to the ancient sacralization of the site.

Behind the hamlet, a menhir set into an embankment, which people used to rub against to relieve their rheumatism, takes us even further back in time, reinforcing Saint-Samson's healing function.

Your route continues towards Kersaint, where Breton draught horses graze peacefully on the dunes. You can get up close to these magnificent horses as they enjoy the incredible view of this wild coastline.

Finally, the pointe de Beg ar Galeti offers a panoramic view of Portsall harbour and its turquoise bay. From here, you can already see the Guilliguy cross overlooking the port.
