Kelp oven

Highlight • Historical Site

These are algae ovens, used to produce soda for glass production and later iodine for medicinal purposes from the abundant seaweed deposits on the Breton coast. A laborious task, because five to six tons of fresh algae produce just under a ton of dried algae. Using brushwood and gorse fires, 200 kilograms of soda are obtained in the ovens, which in turn produces 10 kilograms of iodine.

Gwendrez Beach

Highlight • Beach

This beautiful, long sandy beach is sometimes partially covered with pebbles. The currents being powerful, it changes its morphology from one year to the next.

Swimming is supervised in summer. It is not recommended to swim outside of these surveillance systems due to the presence of baïnes (large natural swimming pools), which are sometimes barely visible and therefore dangerous.

Pointe du Souc’h Megalithic Necropolis

This impressive site dominates the sea from the Pointe du Souc'h from where you can see the Bay of Audierne and the Pointe de Penmarc'h.
This necropolis was the subject of six successive developments between the middle Neolithic (from 4530 BC) and the final Neolithic (between 3500 and 2200 BC). It was located on an area 35 meters long and 10 meters wide.
