Discover the Neolithic heritage of southern Pays Bigouden. Along the way, you can admire various megaliths, evidence of the region's earliest societies. Enjoy the tranquillity of the village of La Madeleine and don't forget to visit its intriguing rows of standing stones. In Pors Carn, you will find dolmens, covered passageways and other steles grouped together in a garden facing the beach. Explore the maritime district of Saint-Guénolé with its old manor houses along the ocean and return through the peaceful marshes of Lescors.
