Saint James Chapel

Highlight • Other

The apostle "Saint-JACQUES", to whom this chapel in Ploubazlanec was dedicated, belongs, together with his brother, to the closest circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the nickname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ because they recognized in him the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles written by the evangelist Luke, James was executed for his faith, making him an early martyr of Christianity. His grave in the place named after him, "Santiago de Compostela" (Galicia, Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Paimpol fishing port ⚓

Highlight • Settlement

Attracting throngs of boaters, the port of Paimpol remains forever linked to the sometimes tragic epic of Iceland's 19th century cod fishing industry. Pierre Loti's novel "Pêcheur d'Islande" contributed to Paimpol's popularity, as did Théodore Botrel's song "La Paimpolaise". Today, this coastal town, which is always very busy in season, attracts tourists with walks along the Côte du Goëlo, boat trips on the Trieux, water sports and regional dishes.

Beauport Abbey

Highlight • Monument

The "Abbaye de Beauport" was founded by the Premontaner order in 1202 and is one of the most important buildings of ecclesiastical architecture in Brittany. The name "Beauport" (beautiful harbour) comes from the attractive location directly on the sea.

The abbey can be visited and the exhibition is very attractive. You can find more information here: abbayebeauport.com/fr/index.html.

Paimpol

Highlight • Settlement

Made famous by the writings of Pierre Lotti (Icelandic Fisherman published in 1886), Paimpol is a vast fishing port mixed with the idleness of a pretty marina. In the center of the town, houses dating from the 16th century remain and bring a beautiful character to the town.

Ideally located on the customs path (GR 34), the town has numerous shops and services capable of satisfying all budgets. A railway station is served daily by trains from Guingamp.

View of Bréhat Island

Highlight • Viewpoint

A tip for cyclists:

There are hefty prices for crossing with your own bike (€18 for a normal bike, €30 for an e-bike). It is possible to rent bicycles on the island. The offer is limited (especially for e-bikes). If you want to visit the island all day (>5 hours), it is worth crossing with your own bike (transport costs = rental costs) (departure from the mainland at 9:30 a.m. at the latest; return from 4:00 p.m.)

As of July 2023
