Saint-Uzec Menhir

Highlight • Historical Site

The Saint-Uzec menhir (in Breton: Kalvar Sant-Uzeg) is a menhir located in the town of Pleumeur-Bodou, near the Saint-Uzec chapel towards Ile-Grande. The menhir was Christianized in 1674 during a mission of the "apostle of Brittany", the Jesuit father Julien Maunoir who had it inserted in a plasterwork with access by stile, had it painted, sculpted and surmounted by a cross. The Christianization of the “standing stones” testifies to a desire to assimilate previous religious signs. It shows the Church's desire to integrate the pagan worship of stones into religious syncretism.

Grande Island

Highlight • Natural

Between its pebble and fine sand beaches, Île Grande is a pretty piece of land. It is also home to the pretty port of Saint-Sauveur and the Kervoalant marshes, and other curiosities.

It is possible to go around it by following the GR 34 markings (customs trail). Allow seven kilometers, or around three hours of leisurely walking.

Sentier des Douaniers, Île Grande

Highlight • Trail

The Sentier des Douaniers on Île Grande is a must-see route for lovers of the sea and wild landscapes. This coastal path offers breathtaking views of the turquoise waters of the English Channel, fine sandy beaches and rocky coves. All along the way, heather and gorse colour the landscape, while the sound of the waves and the cries of seabirds create a soothing atmosphere.
