This route isn't too long, and the roads are good, though not spectacular. There's plenty to see along the way, beautiful panoramic views, and plenty of opportunities to stop in charming (fishing) villages.
I rate this route with 4 stars

Bert Loorbach, the author, is an avid motorcyclist himself and lived in France for a year and a half. During that time, he dedicated himself to mapping France's lesser-known and beautiful back roads specifically for motorcyclists. Hotels, campsites, sights, parking lots, and restaurants are included as points of interest.
The ride starts in Concarneau, from where we travel via Pont-l'Abbé to the picturesque fishing village of Loctudy. From Loctudy, we follow the coastline to the fishing village of Lesconil, where you can stop for a walk along the beautiful, rugged coastline.
Via Guilvinec, we drive towards La Pointe de Penmarch, following the coast and enjoying the panoramic views along the way. You can stop for a photo at Site Pointe de Men Meur. Beach lovers can stop at Plage du Ster, a beautiful, wide sandy beach.
The journey continues to La Pointe de Penmarch, where it's well worth stopping to climb the 65-meter-high Phare d'Eckmühl lighthouse and enjoy the magnificent view. There are also several restaurants and cafés for lunch.
We continue our journey to Saint Guénolé, known for its rock formations crashing against the waves, so it's definitely worth a stop. For enthusiasts, there's the option of planning a visit to the Prehistory Museum.
We drive via Plonéour-Lanvern and Pouldreuzic to Penhors, from where we continue along the coastline to Plouhinec, where we again enjoy beautiful panoramas. You'll pass several charming villages and spots where you can stop to stretch your legs or take a photo.
The journey's end point is Pointe de Raz, a strait and the terror of sailors. It's a beautiful walk, and you'll be treated to stunning views. North of Pointe de Raz are several other beautiful viewpoints.
You can stay overnight in a hotel or at a campsite nearby.
