Gourlizon

Looking for peace and quiet? Located 20 minutes from Quimper and 30 minutes from Audierne, close to the Bay of Douarnenez, Gourlizon is a haven for nature lovers.

Getting there

Trails and valleys

Surrounded by countryside as far as the eye can see, Gourlizon will be the destination of choice for lovers of peace and nature. Its central location, on the edge of the Pays Bigouden and the Pays de Douarnenez, halfway between Quimper and the sea, is also an asset for those wishing to explore further afield during their holidays in Cornouaille.

The Goyen and Pouldavid rivers flow through the commune.

It is also one of the few places in the Bigouden region where the valleys replace the flat expanses, offering a little relief with some unobstructed views.

In the village, the mural illuminates the area with its plant motifs and creates a little extra greenery around the church of Saint-Cornely.

The must-haves
