Plougonvelin

The landscape around Plougonvelin is a windswept Atlantic coast of headlands and heath, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. On Brittany’s Iroise Sea, the commune includes Pointe Saint-Mathieu, a prominent promontory near the entrance to Brest roadstead. The ruins of the medieval Saint-Mathieu Abbey stand beside the Saint-Mathieu lighthouse, first lit in 1835 and still an important coastal landmark. Trez Hir beach and the shoreline paths add a more leisurely side to this exposed corner of Finistère.
