Hénan Tidal Mill

Highlight • Monument

The mill dates from the 15th century and belonged to the Seigneurie du Hénan. It works thanks to the ebb and flow of the river subject to the tides and constitutes a historic monument of great beauty. The cut stones are imposing and come from the Kerochet quarry located one kilometer further down the river. The roof is original: it is a hipped roof with a break which indicates that the roof was originally thatched.

Pont-Aven

Highlight • Settlement

Famous for its famous school of painting created by Paul Gauguin, it is easy to understand why artists were fascinated by this small port.

Stroll through the small footbridges, admire the remains of the mills, and the old stone houses.
