Getting there

The campaign a stone's throw from the sea

Situated halfway between Pouldreuzic and Plonéour-Lanvern, Peumerit is ideally placed for development based on its heritage and unusual discoveries.

In the village and along the country lanes, there are many monuments to explore: church and chapel, the Pommeraie animal park, granite crosses, megaliths

Putting down your bags in a small village for the holidays also means discovering local life in a small Breton village.

The must-haves

Situated in a green enclosure, the chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph and Saint Anne was founded in 1645 by the Lords of Rubien, then sold as national property in 1795 to Maître Le Hars, notary, who had his name engraved on the façade.

During the pre-revolutionary period, clandestine services were held here. The building was reopened to worship in the 19th century.

Today, the enclosure is home to a delightful local farmers’ market, a meeting place for lovers of local gastronomy: cheese, milk, bread, vegetables, honey…. From February to November.

The church of Saint-Annouarnand its statue of Saint Yves are thought to have been built between the 12th and 16th centuries, and restored in 1741. The choir, the oldest part of which dates from the 14th century, contains a number of features characteristic of the Pont-Croix architectural style.

The Pommeraie animal park offers visitors a relaxing stroll through woodland and flowers, in close contact with farm animals.

On the programme: mini golf, games for children, a reading hut, educational apiaries and an exhibition on bees.

Saint-Joseph and its farmers' market

If there’s one particularly pleasant and convivial moment in the local life of this Bigouden village, it’s certainly the farmers’ market (around 4 stallholders) held on Friday evenings from 4pm to 6.30pm.

Producers of cheese, milk, bread, vegetables and honey gather in the chapel enclosure from February to November.

It’s a great time to stock up on good produce, but also to mingle with the regulars who come every week to share this convivial moment in a pleasant setting.
