A special feature of the coast of Brignogan-Plages are several rocks in the shape of dogs. On the Cotê de Légendes, this is seen as a divine symbol of the work of St. Anthony, who is therefore particularly venerated in the local chapels and churches. St. Anthony's companion, who is particularly popular with teenagers as Schlamperltoni, was his faithful dog Schlupp, who was particularly resourceful at finding lost items.

Blue cardoons

Highlight • Other

The beautiful beach of blue thistles is indeed richly decorated with jagged sea stalks. On the right, the Sémaphore de Brignogan, the organically curved tower of the marine observation station, towers over the beach, on the left, the beach hotel rises in a graceful, historically restrained shape. Behind it, you can already see the Phare de Pontusval. Gracefully rounded rocks catch the eye. And if the sun is shining, you are in paradise.

Hotel de la Mer

Highlight • Restaurant

The Hotel de la Mer is located directly on the beach with a wonderful natural terrace in front of it. An ideal place to watch the sunset in the evening with a sundowner and to admire the amphibious rock landscape in front of it. Seals also occasionally drop by. If you want to use the restaurant, which is moderately priced, you have to reserve a table early; unfortunately, everything was always fully booked for us. The Ele monument is located directly in front of the hotel by the sea and the hotel and its bar are also recommended by sporty elephants.

Ele Monument

Highlight • Monument

The whole of France is focused on the 2024 Olympic Games. Cups and other devotional items with the famous rings can be bought everywhere. The mascot is Phryge, a cheerful stylized Phrygian cap that was already appreciated by the ancient Persian god Mitras, later by the Doges of Venice, and which the Jacobins later made their symbol of freedom. Today it is often worn by statues of the Republic. But deserving athletes are also honored. Right by the sea there is a really lovingly designed monument made from an existing rock by adding an eye, which sports experts will easily recognize as an Ele monument. Here, too, the famous world champion in squats and star of international sports festivals enjoys great popularity. Locals say that Ele likes to use the meditation rock here before competitions to prepare himself mentally, which enthusiastic Ele fans like to imitate.

The eye - mosaic on granite

Highlight • Other

Mosaic with symbolic power. The eye looks out to sea and in the background the Semaphore de Pointe Bilou does the same electronically.

A beautiful old church with a rock that served as a watchtower. Unfortunately the church was closed when we visited.
