The Cap Fréhel Ornithological Reserve: A sanctuary for seabirds 

Cap Fréhel is not just a geological spectacle; it's also a place of intense life for winged fauna. The Cap Fréhel Bird Sanctuary, located on the majestic cliffs, is a fascinating destination for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts. A visit from Camping du Val is an opportunity to observe the unique biodiversity of the Breton coast up close.

A spectacular nesting site 

Classified for its rich fauna, the Cap Fréhel ornithological reserve is home to large colonies of seabirds. Among the most remarkable species are the crested cormorant, black-legged kittiwake, northern fulmar and common guillemot. The cliffs offer an ideal and spectacular nesting site, which can be observed from the waymarked paths, in total respect for the environment. 

Camping du Val is ideally located for a day trip to the Cap Fréhel Bird Sanctuary. You can combine walking along the customs officers' path (GR34) with birdwatching, making this an unforgettable day out in the great outdoors.
