This village in Finistère has a rocky history, extraordinary flora and fauna that remind us of landscapes elsewhere.
Do you love your life? Whatever the answer, we know that it would still be better on a paradise island and with a few degrees warmer. Right now, we're entering the era where we wear tights under our jeans. We all hate it when we can drag our legs outside. If we don't have the opportunity to cross half the globe to remember summer, we can approach the coasts of France. And there are many coastal towns in France. However, some bring us sublime landscapes and the sea air continues to persist in both summer and winter. Let's not get our hopes up, it's not 28 degrees in Brittany at the moment. However, the landscapes warm our hearts which are also cold during this gloomy period. But then what is this village in Finistère that transports us?
A village with a beautiful history
Plounéour-Brignogan-Plagesmerger of two historic municipalities in 2017. This explains the length of the village's name. This gem nestles on the Coast of Legends, in Finistère. This territory is marked by its maritime heritage and its spectacular rocky landscapes. In the past, the region was famous for its wreck plunderers, a legend which still fuels the local imagination today. The emblematic monuments make the village famous. We think of Phare de Pontusvaldating from 1869, or the Saint-Pol chapel. The latter, surrounded by granite rocks, bears witness to the history and traditions of the village.
A village with rich nature

Those of Pors Paul a you Little Niceoffer an ideal setting for fishing on foot and water sports. But the rocks here remind us of the rocky beaches of the Caribbean islands. Listed in the Natura 2000 network, the region is also home to treasures such as the dunes of Keremma and the marshes of the Curnic. In these preserved ecosystems, migratory birds come to migrate. These natural spaces therefore attract lovers of fauna and flora. If you hate the sounds of seagulls, it's better to move on.
