August 07.
We leave from Quimper, take the D784, and turn after Audierne on a small and very pleasant road . There is a little bit car traffic, but not too much, it is still not the French Riviera, and it’s much better like that… We arrive mid-morning in the parking, situated at the end of the road. Since parking, which from we cannot sea the ocean, we first need to go through souvenir shops and restaurants, to finally reach the path marked out along the coast. Weather on the Pointe du Raz cape is this day very pleasant : a beautiful sun from august and no wind. Certainly, the lack of wind will not provide exceptional photos, but at least I can make a quiet stroll with family.
It is not possible to walk outside marked trails in order to protect the land that, since these protective measures, began to gradually rebuild, no longer trampled by homo touristicus 
. The heather is in bloom, and gives these landscapes beautiful colors green and purple, with the blue of the ocean in the background. Arriving near the Pointe du Raz cape, all tourists, myself included, have been able to take some pictures. In the distance, you can see the Phare de la Vieille 
lighthouse, the island of Sein in the same alignment, and we see sailing off a few sailboats, and boats with tourists… A few meters from me, a seagull, imperturbable, is looking this super landscape from a rock along the cliff and let curious and photographers approach it…
After a short break, and having enyoyed the beautiful panorama offered to us, we will go by the path that runs along the service road behind the lighthouse of the cape, more direct than the coastal path. Then after passing through the step of souvenirs shops, and brittain cakes and cider, we are taking direction Pointe du Van on the north by the D607 road, which runs along the Baie des Trépassés (bay of the deads), which is a small beach, the Pointe du Van cape ranging from on the other side of the bay. We had many opportunities to choose a path from the Pointe du Raz to join the Pointe du Van, but it is not practicable for those who are accompanied by young children with strollers…
There is a lot less tourists than on the Pointe du Raz cape, and the landscape of Pointe du Van, much more flowery, with a coastline of cliffs and cut more, is much more beautiful, with wild flower of the heath, varying shades of light pink to purple on the bottom of Iroise sea, out of sight. Superb! 
What still take pretty pictures, despite a light still quite hard in the middle of the afternoon.
Now its time to go back on Quimper, not forgetting, of course, go through some stall to take Brittany patties and other local products. Mmmm!
