An undeniable character, a rare authenticity, a preserved heritage and panoramas make Pont-Croix a popular destination for lovers of old stones. In Brittany, near the Bay of Audierne and Cap Sizun, Pont-Croix is definitely the perfect place for a holiday in Brittany.

Lodged on its natural promontory at the bottom of an estuary, Pont-Croix, Petite Cité de Caractère, blossoms over the Goyen, a coastal river that delights walkers with its meanders. Capital of Cap-Sizun, in Finistère, Pont-Croix is a medieval city with legendary charm, which from its old stones, plunges you in a wink in the heart of history. Here, the narrow streets are winding, tangled, cobbled and flanked by old houses built around THE star of the village, its collegiate church. A real treasure of Breton architectural heritage, the collegiate church of Notre-Dame de Roscudon is the beating heart of the town. Surprising and fascinating, it amazes by its proportions and its monumental architecture, inspired by both the Romanesque and Gothic periods. If it is worth a visit, it is also the starting point of several small quiet walks in the city of Pont-Croix, like the "Circuit of chapels and churches" which will allow you to discover the richness of the religious heritage of the city. Thus, during your excursions, you will discover the unique character of the religious heritage of the Cap-Sizun, passing by the chapel of Saint-They on the cliffs of the Pointe du Van, or by the colossal chapel of Saint-Tugen on the road to the Pointe du Raz. In addition to a striking religious building, Pont-Croix has many treasures to discover. It's a pleasure to stroll along its old streets! Our advice? Take the time to go through the Petits and Grande Chère streets, to discover impressive old stone staircases, staircases with splendid gardens that will lead you tirelessly to the old port. Down below, the Goyen estuary is a little Eden for nature lovers. Widening at high tide to become a small sea, it is a real paradise for birds, which come in numbers according to the tides and the seasons. By walking around Pont-Croix, you will easily understand why it was ranked 2nd in the "Most Beautiful Village in France" competition in 2019; by walking through the interpretation circuit of the town centre, you will not fail to pass by the Place de la République, which has been occupied for years by painters, craftsmen and antique dealers, giving Pont-Croix a certain soul that appeals to artists. The Maison du Marquisat and its Heritage Museum, the Saint-Vincent chapel, the fountains, the Manor of Pors Lesguen on the Place de l'Église, the Manor of Trémaria and the Keridreuff mill will complete your visit.

A jewel of tranquillity, at the crossroads between the Pays Bigouden, the Pays de Douarnenez and the Cap Sizun, Pont-Croix is adored by visitors who love the great outdoors. You will be able to make many hikes there, in direction of Plouhinec, Audierne and its beaches, Primelin and its Pointe de Castel, Plogoff and its inevitable Pointe du Raz, Cléden-Cap-Sizun and its Pointe du Van, or still on the side of the peaceful small city of Douarnenez known for its lighthouse of the Tristan Island. Enough to fall under the charm of Brittany!
