Saint-Jean-Trolimon

A small commune in the Bigouden region, it is home to a treasure trove of heritage: the chapel of Tronoën, nicknamed the “Cathedral of the Dunes”, and its monumental Calvary.

Getting there

In the heart of Audierne Bay

The commune of Saint-Jean-Trolimon borders the coast and offers lush green countryside perfect for walking.

A well-preserved natural heritage and a wealth of heritage sites make this small commune an essential holiday destination. On your way to Tronoën beach, you’ll come across the Notre-Dame de Tronoën chapel. Its imposing calvary is considered to be the oldest of the 7 monumental calvaries in Brittany.

Don’t stop there! At the end of this straight stretch to the ocean is the beautiful beach of Tronoën, popular with surfers for its regular waves.

One of the highlights of the year takes place every year in September: the pardon of the surfers. After mass outside the chapel, the surfers and other worshippers make their way in procession to the fountain a few metres from the sanctuary. The officiant then proceeds to bless the surfboards. This is followed by a convivial picnic.
