Penmarc'h

Built around its Atlantic fishing ports, Penmarc'h grew into a coastal commune at the southern edge of Brittany's Bigouden country. The Pointe de Penmarc'h faces the open Atlantic, while the sandy curve of the Baie d'Audierne begins to the north. In Saint-Guénolé, fishing remains central to local identity, reflected in its working harbour and the area's long association with sardine processing. The 65-metre Eckmühl Lighthouse, inaugurated in 1897, rises beside the older Phare de Penmarc'h and remains one of the commune's defining landmarks.
