by a_josephyne
I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me how can I get to Cape Raz?Is there any chance to get there by bus?I know that from Paris I can take the TGV to Quimper but from Quimper to Audierne can I take a bus?I would not like to rent a car. Thank you.

hi there,
i checked on the internet, and there are buses from the Quimper train station that go to pointe du Raz. I haven't been there myself in quite a while, but i heard it's getting real touristy and the nearby pointe du Van is a better option - as you can a great panorama on the cape from there.
enjoy yr trip,

If you stay in Audierne the best trip is to go to Sein island with a speed boat or a small ferry, you can stay overnight in sein and watch the dolphins in the natural harbour .
Travel Tips for Audierne
Pointe du Raz
by GUYON
The most known place of the area is la Pointe du Raz (a cape) in which the waves break against granite rocks. Even if the weather is fine the ocean seems to be hungry.
In front of the Pointe, there is the Ile de Sein, inhabited by fishers and swept across by winds and spray.During WWII, the major part of the sailors joined the General De Gaulle in London. The Great Charles (de Gaulle) wanted to see the volunteers and discovered a lot of Sein inhabitants. He said : "The Ile de Sein seems to be the quarter of France". The best place to see the Pointe du Raz is the Pointe du Van which is on the other side of the Baie des Trepasses .
At this point there are no ugly building, no paying parking and less people.
Baie des Trepasses
by GUYON
The Dead Men Bay is located at the West end of France, between the Pointe du Raz and the Pointe du Van. It is so called because (according to the legend), the dead druids were transported by boat to the Sein Island to be buried.
An other legend tells one listens when the wind blows the voices of the fishers missing in the ocean.
Chapelle St They (1)
by GUYON
Typical little chapel, completly surrounded by its stone wall.
A miraculous fountain nearby is known to cure all the pains. When the fishers are in danger, the bell of the chapel rings without any human action.
Believe that.

"Audierne"
Located at the West of Britany, the charming harbor of Audierne is devoted from centuries to fishing.
More recently, it was transformed into a vacation destination and the pleasure boats replace the fishing ones.
Audierne is at 30 mn by car from the department capital : Quimper and at the same distance from the mythic Pointe du Raz, the place in which Europe sinks into the Ocean.
