Térénez bridge: the gateway to the Crozon peninsula
The Pont de Térénez and the surrounding area are brimming with history and activities of all kinds. Whether you're walking the GR34, sailing the Aulne or sampling the local produce, you'll be amazed by the diversity of the landscape. Before entering the Presqu'Île de Crozon, stop for a moment, there's so much to do.
3 bridges!
A true architectural feat
Historically, today's Térénez bridge is the third to span the Aulne, after those built in 1925 and 1952. Destroyed during the Second World War, then rebuilt with materials of lesser quality, the bridge you can use today was finally inaugurated in 2011.
Its technical sophistication and aesthetic appeal make it the world's first curved cable-stayed bridge. It was awarded the World Infrastructure Award in 2013, and received the International Concrete Federation's prize for the most beautiful structure in 2014.
On foot, by bike or by car, you can stop at the abutments of the old bridge, now converted into a belvedere. These spots are ideal for admiring the architectural feat that is the Térénez bridge.
Hiking, biking...
A passage
A hiking area par excellence, the Térénez bridge is one of the unmissable stages of the GR34. Continuing the trail, it allows you to cross from one bank of the Aulne to the other, while enjoying an impressive panorama.
