We can walk around the fort thanks to a coastal path with trees, flowers and birds; we can pick flowers and visit the fort. It is very relaxing and calming to see the sunset.

    A NATURAL LANDMARK

    Plouzané, Natural landmark.

           Plouzané is situated along the bottleneck near Brest, on the Atlantic ocean.

    In Plouzané, we can see many beautiful landscapes like the sea and the wood.

                There are a lot of beach like The Minou beach, The St-Anne beach or The Dellec …  And also, different types of beach: pebble or sand. For example, the Dellec is a pebble beach and the Minou beach is sandy. Our favourites are The Dellec because we can see the forest, cliffs, boats, there isn’t a lot of waves and because there isn’t a lot of wind and St Anne beach because at sunset, it’s really beautiful and because it mixes pebble and sand. In summer, the

    temperature is cold.

     

    Here is a view of the Dellec

                But we can also see the forest: The St-Anne wood. There are a lot of hazel trees, flowers, there is a river but in winter it’s a bit marshy. There is also a derelict house.
