Camaret
Camaret is an active fishing port (mostly crayfish) on a small peninsula jutting out to the far western end of Brittany, beyond Crozon on the Crozon peninsula..
The town itself is pretty enough and warrants an explore. There are a couple of more important reasons why visitors come here than the town itself however.
One is the Vauban Tower, a 17th century defensive tower, in a surprising orange colour!
The second is the prehistoric 'Alignments of Lagatjar' - an impressive array of 65 menhirs lined up to the sea in an unknown (but possibly astronomic) formation

The third is the scenery - there are a couple of locations nearby with stunning views. One in particular is the Pointe de Pen-Hir, where small peninsulas jut out to sea and a series of dramatic rocks break from the water (these are called 'the pile of peas' for reasons that aren't at all clear to me).
