One of the most exceptional sites of the coast of legends, with a museum allowing to dive into the history of the village

Welcome to one of the most exceptional sites on the coast of legends, rich in 300 years of history. Meneham, from the Breton Menez ham, "the hamlet on the hill", was originally a simple village of peasants, fishermen and "gémoniers", living a rough and rudimentary life. Abandoned after the war, the houses fell into disrepair, but in the 2000s, sudden interest led to its restoration, making it one of the must-see sites on the north coast. Today, a major museography project allows visitors to immerse themselves in the living conditions and history of this village, perpetuating the memory of the place and the people who lived there. Artists' studios are also nestled in the adventure, giving rhythm to local life with an authentic creative atmosphere. If your steps take you here, start by strolling along the beaches, which have something soothing and immense about them. Then you'll have to cross some curious winding paths between gigantic rocks. You'll then discover the last preserved residence facing the sea, a magical yet tender place that encapsulates the spirit of Brittany by the sea. Then meet the artists, stroll through the museum areas and head off for a bite to eat at the friendly local inn. It's a great place to eat, and very cheap! Who knows, maybe you'll have the chance to meet an old sailor? He'll tell you all about the time when this place vibrated to the rhythm of the tides, about fishing and about the Bretons. What a culture!

Super intéressant
Nous avons été impressionnés par cette visite, par très beau temps, de ce village de goemoniers rénové. Certaines maisons sont à priori des gîtes et d'autres accueillent des artisans et même un office du tourisme ou plutôt boutique.
La maison des douaniers entre 2 rochers est exceptionnelle. Dernière on découvre la mer aux magnifiques couleurs. Quelques maisons recèlent d'informations interactives sur la vie à l'époque, sur les habitants....

Coup de cœur pour ce hameau et sa plage juste en face. Dommage que l’accueil touristique était fermé. Espaces muséographiques très bien fait avec de nombreuses vidéos. Bcp de charme : toits de chaume, ancien four à pain...

Un superbe site à découvrir dans le nord du Finistère. Ce vieux village de pêcheurs est à découvrir, on remonte le temps! Et la balade sur le littoral vaut le coup. Nous avons eu un beau et grand soleil par conséquent les couleurs de l'eau et la côté étaient à tomber par terre. Vivement recommandé.

Petit village de pêcheurs agriculteurs abandonné au milieu du XX et récemment rénové, sa visite est intéressante et le lieu en lui même est attractif avec ses plages superbes et ses rochers de granit sculptés par l'érosion.

Un des hauts lieux du tourisme dans le Finistère nord! Et on comprend vite pourquoi... Un joli village de pêcheurs élégamment rénové et une situation géographique des plus envieuses avec la mer et de magnifiques rochers!
