The light house and historical site is a must visit when you come to Brest. The lighthouse is situated on a cliff which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. There are ample parking spots and it has well kept facilties for the occasional tourists.
the luxury accomadation, especially the hotel restaurant
One of the greatest places to visit in Brittany! A lighthouse built around the ruins of an Abby built in the XI century. Geat view to the sea and surroundings
First - the parking is free, and access to most of the site is free. 3 euros to go up the lighthouse. But mainly - it's a stunning spot.We had a blazing row and still loved it :)
This is a lovely place where at night monks used to light a fire at the top of the church tower in order to guide ships.A real lighthouse replaced their endeavors in 1835. The abbey now lays in ruins, but has kept its charm. The view over the ocean is beautiful. Many cliffs can be seen with lots of wildlife. Although it is a bit far away from Brest, it's worth a visit!
A geographically interesting place to visit. Pleasant cliff walks and an impressive ruined abbey adjacent to the lighthouse. The toilets, though extensively signposted, were disgusting.
Brilliant place for a walk and a some photography - nice lighthouse too. I found the whole area more compact than I expected, and considering it's March, there were more people there, too.Still, it is one of Brittany's spectacular coastal sites, and I'm sure I'll be back!
The lighthouse here is open for visitors if you dont mind the 163 steps it is well worth the climb, included in the admission fee is a museum explaining the history of the area in particular the monastery.
Impressive point at the wild atlantic coast at the end of the world. Even in poor, rainy weather it es great to watch the waves clashing on the cliffs. The ensemble of fort, abbay and lighthouse is special indeed.
The location, is at the end of the world, on a rocky point, with the craggy coast all around and with the L'Iroise sea outside.L'Iroise is one of the world's busiest sea routes, but also hard to navigate. For that reason, there's a large number of lighthouses all around.At night, one can stand at the point and watch all the blinking lighthouses and try to count them.There is gorse, sea pink and other flowers growing all around, and gannets, gulls and other sea birds flying past.A tiny hamlet, with romantic abbey ruins, 2 lighthouses and a semaphor.In the vacation season, the large lighthouse can be visited, and there is also a small museum open during that period. The coast is very dramatic here, and one can make nice walks.The place has something for everyone, nature, culture and some romance.
