A little history ...
Formerly known as Menez Gu, the Roche du Feu is a mountain peaking at 281 metres. Located in the heart of the Black Mountains, it has long served as a strategic point, particularly during Viking invasions. Fires were lit to prevent these attacks. La Roche du Feu takes its name from this.
At the summit, an exceptional panorama
Once at the summit, you'll be able to see not only the Montagnes Noires, but also the Monts d'Arrée, the Aulne valley and the Bay of Douarnenez. If the weather's clear, you may even catch a glimpse of the Cap-Sizun coastline! Bring your binoculars so you don't miss a thing... The colors change with the seasons: from blue, green and yellow in summer to golden hues in winter. Vegetation changes from lush green to bare hillsides... We love the different moods!
