Le Faou

Highlight • Other

Among the villages and hamlets which bear witness to the history of the Aulne maritime valley, Le Faou is one of the must-sees. This small town of character brings together beautiful 16th century corbelled houses, a church with a fine Renaissance bell tower and a port. Near the town, the church of Rumengol stands on the remains of a Druid altar.

Albert Louppe Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The “Plougastel Bridge”, also called “Albert Louppe Bridge”, was the only bridge from 1930 to 1994 (before that, only a ferry service existed). This bridge, measuring 880 meters long and raised 42 meters above sea level, is made up of three arches. In this sense, it is proud of the world span record for concrete arch bridges.

Built between 1991 and 1994, the “new bridge” of Iroise appears in most of the photos presented here, but is only authorized for cars. It can boast of being one of the largest cable-stayed bridges (800 meters long, 400 meters between the two pylons, height of 83 meters above the deck). When the bridge was commissioned, it held the world record for the longest span.

Saint-Sauveur Church of Le Faou

Highlight • Religious Site

Eglise Saint-Sauveur Le Faou

The church was founded by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. John. The building was rebuilt in 1544 and 1680, with a beautiful domed Renaissance-style bell tower and overlooking the harbor. Its short nave contrasts with a large double transept. The church tower, very high, dates from 1629, the porch bears the dates 1593 and 1613 and has preserved the wooden statues of the twelve apostles, the apse (in Beaumanoir style) dates from 1680. The high altar and the two confessionals date from the 17th century, as well as the baptismal font: the baptismal font with snakes is unique in Brittany for the richness of its sculptures. Numerous statues decorate the church, including those of Notre-Dame de Pitié, two virgin mothers, Saint Herbot, Saint Yves, Saint Éloi, Saint Barbe, etc.
