    Tips

    This listed natural site has always attracted walkers. Following the GR34, the coastal path, we discover rocks with mysterious shapes: rabbit ears, the rhino, the corkscrew, the turtle or the rock of the victims. These rocks owe their particular shapes to phenomena of alteration and erosion caused by rain, wind and sea spray. An ancient Hercynian mountain range, formed between 480 and 300 million years ago, the site is also a gold mine for geologists. The landscape is magnificent during storms. Lovers of beautiful waves and raging seas must, however, never neglect the dangerous nature of the place, even in calm weather. The name given to the rock to the victims is not trivial. Picnic tables and parking are available to visitors.

      The rocks of St. Guénolé, les Rochers, are exposed to the surf of the Atlantic - nowhere else in Brittany do the waves land such violence.
