Located in the extreme west of southern Finistère, its most famous symbol is without doubt the Bigoudène, with its high embroidered headdress. It has become an emblematic image of the region that you will find stuck on many cars.
But beyond the symbol, the Bigouden country is a land rich in history, with grandiose landscapes, that you will not want to miss under any pretext!
And if you want to bring home a little souvenir with the little bigoudène logo, you will find several A l’Aise Breizh stores in the vicinity of the campsite, in Pont l’Abbé and Concarneau.
This small historic town, located 30 minutes from the campsite, is famous for its castle, which now houses the town hall, but also for the inhabited bridge that gave it its name.

Every year on the second weekend of July, you can attend the embroiderers’ festival, a traditional folk festival that attracts nearly 30,000 people each year. If you visit the city with your children, don’t hesitate to get the Archicurieux game booklet available at thetourist office.
The Eckmühl lighthouse in Penmarc’h is the most southern point of Brittany. It is one of the most powerful and highest in the country. It gives an exceptional view to the visitors who climb the 297 steps that lead to its top.

menhirs, dolmens and tumuli
which reveal the antiquity of its history. It is in Penmarc’h that the Museum of Prehistory is located.
If you are wondering, Tudy Island was an island before the construction of a dike in 1852-1854. It was isolated from the mainland at high tide. The water rushed by the dune cordon, but also by the river of Pont-l’Abbé. Only a ford allowed to cross at low tide. Today, this commune has become a peninsula, with one side facing the ocean and the other facing the river of Pont l’Abbé. Discovering Tudy Island means walking on its fine sandy beaches, but also strolling through the narrow streets of its village built around the church.
To go around the island Tudy, follow the
the 7km route
proposed by the tourist office.
