A gateway to land and sea, the port of Le Faou on Brest bay is a former staging post between lower Léon and upper Cornouaille. Due to its exceptional location, the town possesses a long history and rich heritage. 

Open in high season, the “Maison de Pays”, museum of the 16th and 18th centuries, houses a permanent exhibition on the history of the town with costumes, plaster models and photos, plus temporary exhibitions. A programme of guided tours exploring the town is available. 

Unmissable sights:

  • Church of Saint-Sauveur (1544 - 1647) with exceptional furnishings from the 16th and 19th centuries
  • Church of Notre-Dame de Rumengol
  • Chapel of Quai Quélen built in the 17th century
