Tronoen
Edit SpotAbout
The church of Troenen is a old and famous one. It is worth a visit!
Additional Info:
This spot is great: waves may be better here than at La Torche. But it doesn't support big waves as La Torche used to. Come here first, if it closes out, go to La Torche.

Just before arriving on la torche,take left and follow "La chapelle de tronoen" which means the church. Just after the church, take left. There's a nice sight, with the beach right ahead.
Park your car at the far end of the parking on your left, climb the dune and there you are, in front of you a nice wave just 5m next la torche but without the crowd
