  • 3. Phare du Petit Minou Plouzane
    The Phare du Petit Minou is a lighthouse in the roadstead of Brest, standing in front of the Fort du Petit Minou, in the commune of Plouzané. By aligning it with the phare du Portzic, it shows the safe route to follow for ships to enter the roadstead. It also has a red signal that indicates a dangerous sector around the plateau of les Fillettes , one of the submerged rocks in the goulet of Brest — sailors remember this by using the mnemonic the Minou blushes when he covers les Fillettes.

  • 4. Fort du Dellec Plouzane
    Forming part of the chain of fortifications along the goulet de Brest, the fort du Dellec was built by Vauban in the 17th century, then rebuilt several times, notably in the 19th century when casemates were added for barracks and munitions storage.

The fort has been open to the public for some years. Two viewing points allow views of the cliffs of the Crozon peninsula and the Goulet, and there is a marina in a nearby small creek.
