Chapel of St-Côme et St-Damien

At the foot of the Menez-Hom, often in the mist, stands the beautiful chapel of Sainte-Marie-du-Menez-Hom. An unmissable heritage jewel! Listed as a Historic Monument since 1916, it was built in 1570 on the ruins of a Romanesque chapel. The parish enclosure consists of a monumental triple gate (1739) and a calvary with three crosses. The chapel has magnificent restored pink altarpieces. It was once a popular place of pilgrimage and fair. Today it is still more than 40,000 visitors who make a stop there every year! The chapel association, which is very active, offers guided tours to groups or individuals passing through.

A parish belonging to the bishopric of Quimper and to the country of Cornwall, Locronan is very ancient linked to the history of the duchy of Brittany. This important centre of pilgrimage known for its Troménie (or procession), will benefit from the donations of the Dukes of Brittany, in particular for the construction of the church erected in the form of a cathedral by the will of Anne of Brittany from 1424 to 1480. The Penitentiary Chapel adjoining the listed church in 1845 houses the bed of St Ronan. In addition to the magnificent 15th-century glass masterpiece and the pulpit for preaching, the church contains a beautiful piece that needs to be restored to ward off the ravages of time: the Altarpiece of the Rosary.

The church of St Sauveur, anchored like a ship on the banks of the Faou river, was built in the 16th century. It is listed in the Inventory of Historic Monuments and its remarkable site, at the end of the harbour of Brest, is classified as a Historic Monument. Open every day, it welcomes a large number of visitors and remains a place of worship.
