The Saint-Mathieu lighthouse is classified as a historic monument. It was the first fire in Finistère. It peaks at 37 meters high. Tours are organized, if you are not afraid to climb the 163 steps that lead to its summit.

Ruins of Saint-Mathieu Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

The ruins of the abbey facing the sea give the place a special atmosphere. Abandoned after the Revolution, it contrasts with the lighthouse and its technological equipment right next to it.

Ruins of Saint-Mathieu Abbey and Lighthouse

Highlight • Historical Site

In the far west of Finistère, Pointe Saint-Mathieu illuminates the dark waters of the Atlantic. On a rocky promontory which endures the most heated anger, a lighthouse erected over the ruins of an abbey dating from the 6th century guides sailors coming from the ocean. Between nature and history, the charm operates.

Saint Sané Church, Plouzané

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Plouzané is dedicated to Saint Sané, who can be identified with Senan, a bishop who came from Ireland in the 6th century to evangelize the Breton peninsula.

Built on the probable site of an ancient temple, nothing remains of the earlier edifice. The current church, the work of Pierre Besnard, a civil engineer, dates from 1781 and was restored after damage in 1944.

The overall plan exudes a severe nobility. The nave, with three aisles and four bays, widens into the transepts and choir, which end in semicircles. The space is divided by eighteen square piers supporting semicircular arches. The pavement is composed of numerous reused tombstones. The west portal is a monumental construction with Doric columns with a triangular pediment and, above, a circular floor with a balustrade, square tower and pyramidal spire framed by pinnacles.
