Finistère is a concentrate of Brittany, an advanced point in the ocean, where nature is not one but multiple, changing according to the light. Harmony, maritime tradition and love of the land are reconciled here in this space of magic and legends. Léon in the north, Cornouaille in the south, and a part of Trégor in the east are all territories that harbor a rich culture, whether linguistic, patrimonial or historical. The main destinations are generally Brest and its four main museums of the Navy, the Fine Arts, the Tanguy Tower and the Passerelle Art Center. And Quimper and its three permanent museums: Fine Arts, Breton Departmental andEarthenware. But don't miss the incredible islands of Ouessant, Molène and Sein. Or the capes of La Chèvre, Sizun or the point of Pen-Hir. Bathed by the Gulf Stream, Finistère benefits from a microclimate, but also from different varieties of seaweed and a good quality of sea water, which are elements conducive to fitness. This destination has several seaside resorts, such as Roscoff, Bénodet, Loquirec or Douarnenez.
