Bathing at La Roche Percée in Fouesnant

Are you planning a vacation at Camping de Kéranterec in Fouesnant, South Finistère, Brittany? Great! Then you absolutely must take advantage of your vacation to take a dip in the sea at the Roche Percée, not far from the campsite. This surprising rock offers a panoramic view of the coastline, nature and sandy beaches. You’ll be blown away by the grandeur and beauty of nature.

WHAT IS PIERCED ROCK?

La Roche Percée is a natural wonder. It’s not far from Cap Coz, on the coastal path of the Forêt-Fouesnant bay, and attracts many visitors every year just to photograph it.

You’ll also be able to admire the blue lagoon of the coastline, as well as numerous coves of fine white sand. You’ll be amazed by these unforgettable panoramas.

To prevent the Roche Percée from deteriorating over time, it has been somewhat consolidated, so its formation is no longer entirely natural, but this in no way detracts from its magic and the spectacular scenery it offers.

HOW TO GET TO LA ROCHE PERCÉE

To get to La Roche Percée in Fouesnant, you’ll need to take the GR34 trail, also known as the customs path. That’s why you’ll need good walking shoes, because if you’re motivated and want to do the whole trail, you’ll be walking over 2000 km along the Breton coast.

It’s a magnificent hike, suitable for all seasons, and will enable you to discover many of the tourist attractions in the Roche Percée area.

Finally, there’s a parking lot not far away, along the seafront, if you’d prefer to come and rest on this cove, accompanied, for example, by a good picnic to share. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuits, it would be a shame to be so close to La Roche Percée and not take the opportunity to swim: the water is soft, the sand fine and white, and the view idyllic. Swimming on the shores of the Roche Percée promises to be heavenly.

Beware, however, of the rising tide, which can easily surprise you if you’re not careful.
