St. Peter's Cathedral
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
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
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
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.
