Pays de Menez HomMénez Hom:

Location: Take the D887 from Chateaulin to Crozon and branch right after about 11km onto the road which leads up to the summit.
General Info: There is car parking at the top.  Believe it or not there is a website on the area!
Description:
Ménez Hom is a veritable mountain in Breton terms, reaching an altitude of 330m.  However its attraction is more than just that.  It offers a splendid panoramic vista (see photo) of the area of Brittany around the Brest peninsula.  The area is popular with hang gliders and model aircraft enthusiasts and a folk festival is held there every 15th August.

Our recommendations: Definitely worth a visit for the view and maybe a brief stroll although we wouldn’t make a day of it.

For the children: They will probably enjoy a 30 minute stop!
