The Chapelle Saint-Marc in Saint-Marc, Brittany, is set slightly back from the bay of the same name. You will appreciate this picturesque and historic chapel with the lush Breton countryside as a backdrop. The 17th-century chapel, with its simple stone façade and picturesque bell tower, stands gracefully amidst rolling hills and green fields with views of the sea.

Grève Saint-Marc

Highlight • Other

A raised dike, dating from the end of the 19th century, was built between the isolated rock of Châtelet and the rocky coast, in order to protect the cove from the winds and the westerly swell. A local road served the port in 1882 for the transport of marine amendments. The port housed about fifteen small sand and fishing boats at the end of the 19th century and only 5 canoes.

Bec de Vir Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the coast from the tip of Bec de Vir is breathtaking!
The access path runs alongside cultivated plots before overlooking the birth of the high cliffs of Plouha and the large beach of Palus to the north.
Further south, the rocks of the St-Quay islands and the rocky plateau of Rohein are easily visible at low tide. You can also see the semaphore of Saint-Quay-Portrieux. This sentinel has been watching over maritime traffic in the bay since 1860.
