History of Crozon

What to See and Do in Crozon

More than the town of Crozon itself, it’s the surrounding area and the hamlet of Morgat that offer the most tourist interest.

Cape of the Goat ★★
Among the various capes in the municipality, this one offers the most beautiful setting and environment to explore on a walk.

Morgat ★★
Nestled at the end of its bay, Morgat is one of Crozon’s hamlets (formerly a fishing village) but has been a seaside resort since the late 19th century. You can still see beautiful period homes here. The site is also home to several sea caves, with striking red and pink hues, which have contributed to its reputation.

In the Surrounding Area

Crozon Peninsula ★★★★
Opposite Brest, this peninsula is a major tourist destination. Visitors come for its stunning landscapes (especially the "pointes") and, secondarily, the remnants of various fortifications (from Vauban to World War II). The peninsula can be explored on foot.

Climate and Weather in Crozon

Like the rest of the coast, the area has an oceanic climate—mild, humid, and quite windy year-round, with relatively low temperature variation, neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer. Rainfall (less intense than inland) is spread throughout the year, with a peak in autumn and winter.
