Places of Interest
St. Peter's Cathedral <!-- ReligiousBuildings isempty -->

A curiosity? The chapel was built as a rotunda and treated in an Italian Renaissance style: entirely exotic. A great man? Saint Vincent Ferrier, a Spanish monk who died here in 1419 (a painting to the left of the entrance, commemorates this event. His tomb is underneath the 2nd chapel on the left side) A treasure? The treasure-house, is located precisely in the Chapter room.

Donnant Port <!-- UrbanAndNaturalAreas isempty -->

This beach, where rollers break, is framed by big cliffs. The rough sea and strong currents make bathing very dangerous. Despite of the danger, a detour to this spot is well worth because of the view.

Megalithic set <!-- CivilAndHistoricArchitecture isempty -->

Numerous Neolithic monuments make up this exceptional set. The first monument is the Great Broken Menhir, a broken monolith which once stood 20 m high and weighed 48 t. This menhir was the pivot of a 50-m alignment. The Merchant's Table is a funerary chamber, preceded by a 7-m long corridor. The site also includes the Er-Grah Tumulus, which was 170 m long, and two dolmens (Mané-Lud and Mané-Retual).

Public Washing-places <!-- CivilAndHistoricArchitecture isempty -->

These washing-places with long roofs, built on the banks of the Marle Stream at the beginning of the 19C are undoubtedly the most renown sight of this city.
