Exploring Northern Finistère

The northern part of Finistère, meaning
“Land’s End”, consists of several protected
environments. Among these are the Baie de
Morlaix, the heathland of the Monts d’Arrée
(see pp146–7), the dunes of Keremma, the
deeply indented Côte des Abers and the
Ouessant archipelago, battered by wind and
spray. As the distances between these areas
are small, it is easy to explore them while
also stopping off to visit the chateaux, manor
houses and parish closes that make up the
rich architectural heritage of the area, once
the diocese of Léon. Alternating between
coastal and inland areas, particularly around The church at Lannédern, north of Pleyben
Landerneau and Landivisiau, visitors will ÎLE DE BATZ
appreciate the many facets of this rugged
region, which is bathed in a pearly light. ROSCOFF
