Saint-Pol-de-Leon

The coastal plain around Saint-Pol-de-Léon is open to the English Channel and shaped by a mild maritime climate, which has influenced both the town’s form and its market-gardening economy. Fields around this north-Finistère town supply vegetables long associated with Brittany, including artichokes and cauliflowers. At its centre, the Gothic Saint-Paul-Aurélien Cathedral recalls Saint-Pol-de-Léon’s former role as the seat of the bishops of Léon. The nearby coast belongs to the Côte des Sables, where broad sandy shores and rocky headlands define the edge of the Léon region.
