General presentation
Ouessant et Molène
World-wide islands, lighthouses, moors, bikes, walking and oceanic landscapes.
To understand what Ouessant and Molène are, you have to look at Lighthouses, Landes and Island Ambience. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: boat to organize and weather and wind determining. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Island
Ouessant
Ouessant The island offers as an archipelago of dense impressions: frank winds, thin paths, scattered houses and frank views of the sea. The place reads well by following a short loop and then returning to a high point. Between silence and movement, the island gives a strong sensation of isolated space without effort.
Lighthouse
Phare du Créac'h
The Creac'h lighthouse structures the crossing of the coast by a very strong fixed point. We go up for the view, but the real reading begins by going down to the lower areas where pebbles, winds and paths mix. A good light passage turns each angle into a single frame.
Viewpoint
Pointe de Pern
At the Pointe de Pern, the coast tightens and then reveals itself by sudden openings. The paths offer successive, sometimes abrupt, perspectives that reward a concentrated walk. The place takes a particular dimension when you agree to stay with the landscape for a few minutes between two chains.
Archipelago
Archipel de Molène
The archipelago of Molene imposes the scale of the island: short distances, clear points of view, changing light. It quickly captures a journey as close to the water, where each anchorage and each sea cry re-designs the atmosphere. The discovery is better in sequences: visual navigation, stop, and then restart.
