The local experience
Maritime museum on the Port‑Rhu estuary, with on‑land collections and working boats moored that you can board. It tells the story of fishing, coastal trade and the canning industry of Brittany and other coasts.
Douarnenez’s old fishing harbor, with colorful houses, stone quays and narrow streets climbing to the center. Above it, the Plomarc'h site preserves Roman‑era salting tanks and a viewpoint over the bay.
A village of 17th‑ and 18th‑century granite houses around a square with a well, dominated by the 15th‑century Church of Saint Ronan. It grew wealthy from making canvas for sails.
Granite headland at the tip of the Sizun cape, with cliffs about 70 m above the Raz de Sein, a stretch of sea with strong currents in front of the island of Sein. Classified Grand Site de France since 2004.
