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.

Châteaulin

Highlight • Settlement

Châteaulin is a "bridge town", that is to say that it owes its economic activity and its creation to the last bridge which was located over the Aulne. It is also a strategic city between sea and mountains. It is located near the estuary and the harbor of Brest and also close to the Armorican massif, and also along the Nantes-Brest canal.
Finally, it is a very good place to take a break.

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.

Country roads with exemplary function - marked cycle path

Highlight • Other

This is not the case everywhere, but here a lot of effort has been put into putting markings on the road to "protect" cyclists - even in town.
