Heritage and history
The local heritage is discreet but tangible: there are traditional stone houses, calvaries and a parish church punctuating the landscape. Traces of agricultural activity and old rural roads are visible in the relief and the organization of the hamlets. Information panels and some paths allow learning more about local history without major tourist development.
Nature and landscapes
The territory is marked by bocage, with fields enclosed by banks and hedges, offering pleasant walks year-round. A short drive away, the coast and the baie de Douarnenez offer marine panoramas contrasting with the hinterland. The local birdlife and open landscapes are well suited to hikes and peaceful nature observation.
Outdoor activities and leisure
The network of small roads favors cycling and walks between villages. Countryside routes are suitable for walking and mountain biking, while proximity to the coast allows alternating bocage hikes and days on the shore. Local organizations sometimes offer seasonal events and markets where you can meet producers.
