Among the villages and hamlets which bear witness to the history of the Aulne maritime valley, Le Faou is one of the must-sees. This small town of character brings together beautiful 16th century corbelled houses, a church with a fine Renaissance bell tower and a port. Near the town, the church of Rumengol stands on the remains of a Druid altar.

Saint-Sauveur Church of Le Faou

Highlight • Religious Site

Eglise Saint-Sauveur Le Faou

The church was founded by the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of St. John. The building was rebuilt in 1544 and 1680, with a beautiful domed Renaissance-style bell tower and overlooking the harbor. Its short nave contrasts with a large double transept. The church tower, very high, dates from 1629, the porch bears the dates 1593 and 1613 and has preserved the wooden statues of the twelve apostles, the apse (in Beaumanoir style) dates from 1680. The high altar and the two confessionals date from the 17th century, as well as the baptismal font: the baptismal font with snakes is unique in Brittany for the richness of its sculptures. Numerous statues decorate the church, including those of Notre-Dame de Pitié, two virgin mothers, Saint Herbot, Saint Yves, Saint Éloi, Saint Barbe, etc.

The Camfrout (low tide)

Highlight • Other

The Camfrout flows into the city's port and mixes directly with the port's salt water, making the port one of the few river ports in Finistère. Its mouth is very wide and opens onto the port of Brest, where it joins that of Aulne. This estuary is a veritable estuary and is accessible at high tide to vessels with a draft of 5m at spring tide and 4m at neap tide. It has long been frequented by boats that in particular served the quarries that exploited the stone of Kersanton , the export of which was favored for a long time.

Hôpital-Camfrout

Highlight • Settlement

Hôpital-Camfrout, more commonly called "l'Hôpital-Camfrout", is a pretty little town where the Camfrout river flows into Brest harbor. With more than 2,000 inhabitants, it offers numerous shops, practical for itinerants on the GR 34. If the schedule invites you to do so, stop by the village church, built in the 16th century with help stones extracted from neighboring quarries.
