About Plougonvelin
Plougonvelin is a small village that serves as a family seaside resort in Finistère. Its landmark is the Pointe Saint-Mathieu, where steep cliffs carry a lighthouse and the remains of an abbey whose first monastery was founded in the 6th century. A coast path leads out along the point. The homes sit close together, and most have a garden. Some have a private pool and some a sauna. The cliffs are swept by wind and sea, so bring a windproof layer in any month. Le Conquet, a fishing port, is the place for boats to the islands.
Is Plougonvelin right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers and island-hoppers who like wind and cliffs
