Tourist Attractions & Monuments Brittany

The tourist office is located in the museum's museum area. You will find all the advice to stay, enjoy the table, distract and enjoy your stay. Advertising and brochures are also available.

In a city such as Pont-Scorff, a large part of which is devoted to art and crafts, the Point Information has a central role in the orientation and knowledge of exhibition sites. Here you can also guide yourself to the zoo, the odyssaum, the Seat (the theatre - yes, yes, there is a theatre at Pont-Scorff!) or the Atelier workshop. Not to mention everything related to catering and accommodation.

The town of Crozon, located in Brittany, is a true natural gem. With its magnificent beaches, rich biodiversity and breathtaking scenery, it offers visitors a unique experience. The Crozon peninsula is a paradise for hikers, with the famous GR34 trail offering panoramic views of the coastline. History buffs can also explore the route des fortifications, which bears witness to the region's military past. The Crozon Tourist Office is an ideal starting point for discovering the region. It offers information on the town's activities, accommodation and restaurants.

You will find the tourist information office near the city hall. This house was built in 1709 and hosted a school. Today, competent staff awaits you to present the tourist service offered by the sector, as well as extensive documentation that can be used to choose your accommodation, restaurants, activities and walks.

Lampaul is the village of the island, but also the rallying point after the landing, to discuss the modalities of discovering the island (cycling, hiking) and the place to meet for lunch or a drink before the boat leaves. Here, you can find almost everything: supermarket, bars, restaurants, bakery, pharmacy, school. You can also rent bicycles to go around the island, get information from the tourist office and, if your heart is in it, visit the church (remember that its bell tower was built thanks to donations from the British crown after the sinking of Drummond Castle). Going down, you can access the port of Lampaul, where the sailing school, the diving club and the lifeboat are located. At the southwestern end, the view of Lampaul Bay is magnificent. Note: it is in Lampaul that most of the festivities of the International Island Book Fair take place at the end of August.

Since 1996, the Compagnie du Théâtre de l'Interchange resides. She gives her creations, but also courses and courses. See for the beauty of the site, which also welcomes the feast of bread and autumn feast, every year. The site also hosts the Festival de la Key des Champs organised by the Théâtre de l'Interchange and the course of Art Path making… from Atelier d'Estienne.

On each side of the Elorn, a church was built. This river was the natural boundary between the two former counties, Léon and Cornwall, who had their own diocese. The right bank of Leo, the church of Saint-Houardon, was completely moved to the th century. Closer to the river initially, she could no longer welcome all parishioners. Reconstruction and expansion work lasted 3 years, from 1848 to 1861. The porch has a finely worked porch and a walk with a turret with stairs. On the left Bank of Cornwall, St. Thomas Church was also rebuilt in the th century under the direction of architect Bigot. Inside, the sand are beautiful invoices and a variety of reasons are distinguished. Closer to the altar, an old wooden statue of the Virgin in an extended position is interesting because of its original representation.

This monument is one of the most beautiful samples of cross-panels, calvaries carved on its four sides, typical of this part of Brittany. It has three floors of sculptures. On the north-south base, six scenes from Christ's life are displayed (the arrest of Christ or the kiss of Judas, flogging, cross-bearing, crucifixion, descent to Hell and Ascension) and on the barrel you will discover four motifs representing Saint Peter, Saint Paul, Saint John the Baptist and Saint James. This calvary would be the only one in Brittany to symbolize the passion and Ascension of Christ. The nearby church is open during the day.

Located on the former fairground and the current Place Saint-Michel, this chapel is a 17th century work renovated at the beginning of the 20th century. Its location, under the foliage of trees, contributes greatly to its charm. Among the curiosities is a bell dated 1670, where an annual pardon is celebrated every August 15. It can no longer be visited today, but its surroundings are very pleasant.

Landerneau has several beautiful houses, symbols of its rich past:

The Maison de la Duchesse Anne, place du Marché, is easy to find. After hosting the offices of the Tourist Office, she received a full renovation. It will offer a tea room on the ground floor, as well as a museum on the first floor (remaining floors remaining private). Dated in 1664, this beautiful residence has a series of glass windows that occupy a large part of the northern pignon. On the façade, a statue of the Risen Christ is inserted into a niche.

La Maison de Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol, at 3 St-Thomas Street, attracts a look. His name recalls the passage of pilgrims who went to Rumengol, a few kilometers away, and gathered in front of the statue of Notre Dame. This house has undergone few changes since its construction. The wedding of the pink stones of the Aber Ildut and the yellow stones of Logonna give it a unique aspect.

Re-opened to the public after several campaigns of archaeological excavations, the site of Roc'h Morvan Castle is really worth a look. Located on a rocky promontory, it overlooks the Elorn valley at a height of more than 70 m. An interpretive tour offers you the opportunity to learn more about the ruins of the castle while walking around. We follow with curiosity the singular history of this imposing fortress while discovering its defensive and spatial organization. An ideal walk to do with the children.

Rue Jean Jaurès is, along with Rue de Siam, one of the two most commercial arteries of the city of Brest. Linking the Place de la Liberté to the Place de Strasbourg, it is lined with shops. From fashion to restaurants, banks, hairdressers, bars and cinemas, you can easily spend your day there! Without forgetting to make a little detour to the Place Guérin and the Saint-Martin district, with its church and daily market. A piece of advice: take advantage of the tram, which serves the whole street, to get around...

This Romanesque church built with Logonna stones between 1167 and 1173 kept traces of the original construction of the 8th century. The magnificent Gothic porch built in 1560 was dismantled and transplanted in the late 19th century to the cemetery's entrance adjacent to the abbey. The interior of the church is reputed for its first-class acoustics allowed by the harmony of the vaults. This is the way that concerts regularly took place there, although the organ has disappeared after the church was abandonned to the Jesuites in 1692. In case of questions, you will need to speak to the presbytery, opposite the church.

Finistère is the department that counted the most mills in its territory: there are no fewer. 3,800 mills listed. Powered by the Mignonne, the river of Daoulas, this mill was built in medieval times and served as a millstone from 1936 to 1970. Completely refurbished and transformed into a museum, it offers a museum that plays a role in its operation. The technical aspect is also addressed, with machinery mechanisms still under way. Finally, the headquarters of the Finistère Mills Association have settled there and can pass on many information to the fans of this heritage.

The majority of the church of Plusquellec dates back to the th century under the protection of Notre-Dame-des-Graces. Don't miss to discover the apostles with expressive faces under the south porch, made in 1551. Inside, you can enjoy the th century chair, which is one of the most beautiful of Brittany! It evokes the life of Jesus through a series of six panels.

Its ruins let us see the importance of the building, erected from the th to the th centuries. The tower kept its tower, and three of the arcades of the nave. Callac and Botmel are branches of the former primitive parish of Plusquellec. Callac was, it seems, the name of a chapel at the parish of Botmel dedicated to Saint Catherine. Botmel was in the th and th centuries annoyed or a branch of Plusquellec.

This cable-stayed bridge is remarkable for its architectural quality. Built between 1833 and 1840, its original purpose was to replace the ferries linking the two banks of the Trieux. This first wooden deck was replaced in 1925 by a more modern and safer metal suspension bridge, according to the plans of the French engineer Gaston Leinekugel Le Cocq. Traffic was not even interrupted: the new deck was built under the old one, which was dismantled once the work was completed. The current structure is 154 metres long.
