Crozon
Crozon (and the Crozon Peninsula) are at the western tip of Brittany in the Finistere department. The peninsula can also be reched by regular ferry from Brest.
The Crozon peninsula includes the towns of Camaret, Argol, Morgat and Crozon itself (the latter two are more or less one town together). There are also beaches including Palud Plage on the peninsula, which has an attractive semi-wild landscape and some dramatic cliffs and coastline. You can get a good view across the peninsula from the hill at Menez-Hom.
The town (along with neighbour Morgat) has an atractive beach, and is very well known for the music festivals it holds, such as the 'Festival du bout du Monde' - indeed Morgat beach is one of the best to found around the Brttany coast.
But is more for the coastal scenery and for the protected - and fascinatingly diverse - environment that it provides for a wide range of animals and plants that attracts people to Crozon, perhaps above all the seabirds eg guillemots that are to be seen throughout the region. There are several sections of dramatic coastline where you can have very good views down the cliffs to the sea beyond.
There are also several important prehistoric menhirs scattered around the peninsula, for example at Landaoudec, and of more recent construction you will see traditional windmills using the frequently present wind of this exposed section of Brittany.
Note: Crozon is also home to the French fleet of nuclear submarines.
