BRIDGE SUSPENDED
Read moreThis 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.
ROSEDO LIGHTHOUSE
Read moreThe Rosédo Lighthouse is set on the Rosédo land, north of the Bréhat Island. Historically, its alignment with its twin the lighthouse of the Peacock, enabled sailors to avoid the Horaine pitfall, located off the Paon tip!

The first Rosédo lighthouse was built in 1858 and lit in 1860 as a fixed red light; the current lighthouse was built between 1947 and 1949. It consists of a rectangular turret with a round face; it was automated in 2007.

STIFF LIGHT
Read moreIt was in the 17th century that its construction was decided and built. It is therefore one of the oldest French lighthouses still in service. But it was no longer enough to mark the entrance to the English Channel: a semaphore is now watching, about 100 metres lower, accompanied by a more effective radar. You can climb the 104 steps of the Stiff lighthouse to enjoy a breathtaking view of the island! Like five other lighthouses in Finistère, it has been classified as a Historic Monument since 2010. Namely: Stiff Bay is the main place to live, after Lampaul. It lives at the rhythm of the arrivals of boats making the connections with the continent and of the few fishing and material transport boats.
