Local shops cater for everyone’s needs and desires: local produce, clothing and home decoration boutiques, beauty salons and hairdressers… not forgetting the weekly markets. Just next door, the church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, a Romanesque church with a Gothic porch, is a listed building with a majestic façade, bell tower and remarkable stained glass windows. It is a focal point of Fouesnant’s religious heritage.

Fouesnant Riviera Bretonne Lezbroz 2020 19 2Fouesnant is home to a number of historic sites and monuments that bear witness to its rural and maritime past. These include ancient wash-houses, sacred fountains, granite calvaries and the remains of mills. Each stone, each cross, tells a fragment of local history, handed down from generation to generation.
The chapels of Fouesnant are veritable treasures nestling in the Fouesnant countryside, places of meditation and remembrance. The architecture is simple yet moving, often linked to strong local traditions such as the Breton pardons. Discover these chapels, each as characteristic as the next: Sainte-Anne, Saint-Sébastien, Saint-Guénolé or Kerbader and its bread oven.

It can be discovered from the coast, but above all at sea, through places steeped in history. On Île Cigogne, the 18th-century fort, recently restored as part of the Mission Patrimoine programme, bears witness to the archipelago’s strategic past. Further afield, the Penfret lighthouse continues to guide sailors through the clear waters of the Glénan. On the mainland, the Beg-Meil semaphore, still in operation, ensures maritime surveillance and is a reminder of the importance of safety at sea. These emblematic sites, which can often only be seen on sea outings or guided tours, offer a real insight into Fouesnant’s marine history.
Fouesnant is also a fertile region, renowned for its apple orchards. Here, the apple is king: it gives rise to an artisanal PDO cider that is appreciated throughout Brittany. The Penfoulic orchard, which is managed ecologically, is a great opportunity to rediscover old varieties and better understand the importance of fruit biodiversity.

It plays an essential role in the transmission of traditional Fouesnant costume, particularly the winged headdress and the Aven collar, elegant and characteristic of the region. Every summer, during fest-noz and folk festivals, Fouesnant’s intangible heritage is brought back to life before the astonished eyes of visitors.
