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.

Pretty path lined with ferns giving a view of the coast between two beaches.

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.

BR-Plage de Guendrez

Highlight • Other

We think that the Plage de Guendrez is a great place to have a picnic on a summer's evening... maybe combined with a dip in the sea? Enjoy the fact that you can reach the beach on foot - because on sunny days the cars tend to bump into each other on the narrow parking strip. It never really gets crowded here, the beach is too unknown for that.

This covered walkway dates from the Neolithic period. It is a long burial of about twenty meters, reputed to be the most technically perfect in Finistère.
