The Pointe du Raz is supposedly the western most point of France, and nearby is the Pointe du Van. Tripadvisor reviews show that the latter is less touristic and moreover, free parking is available. Finally, the views and the walks are just as fantastic, so visit la Pointe du Van first.
It's about 50 km to the west of Quimper, 1 hr's ride by car. You can take a detour to stop by at Douarmenez for a walk or go to the Tourist Office for some info.
We went in June and the whole place was alive, full of scented yellow flowers, "ajonc" in french, "ulex" in english. You can literally walk around on top of the cliffs, see even the Pointe du Raz, and enjoy the Atlantic view and this beautiful perfume !
It's definitely an under-rated attraction as compared to the Pointe du Raz, which is about 13 km away, and you have to pay for the parking there.
