At the southern tip of the Crozon peninsula, discover Cap de la Ch\u00e8vre, an exceptional site formed naturally millions of years ago in the west of Brittany, which you can find at 1h30 drive from your luxury residence to Le Kervastard campsite in Fouesnant!<\/p>\n
Cap de la Ch\u00e8vre, also called Beg Penn ar Roz in Breton, is located in the south of the Crozon peninsula, in the far west of Finist\u00e8re, in Brittany. It is easily identifiable by its position north of Cap Sizun, on the north face of Pointe du Raz and at the north-west limit of Douarnenez Bay. Tradition relates that when the weather was inclement, boats used to take shelter behind the cliffs.<\/p>\n
Why call it Cap de la Ch\u00e8vre? No one knows. Some state that the name refers to the shape of the peninsula which recalls the head of the goat. Others believe in the Celtic legend which says that a giant named Kawr lived on the spot, in Breton it is Beg ar C’hawr, which subsequently becomes Beg Ar C’hoar which literally means Cape in Breton of the Goat.<\/p>\n
On the west coast of Cap de la Ch\u00e8vre, you can admire the natural work of time, winds and tides: sumptuous cliffs as far as the eye can see covered with moors and long sandy beaches. The latter are very popular with surfers and yet remain prohibited for swimming, like Lostmarc’h beach, La Palue and Kerdreux beach.<\/p>\n
