Architectural beauty and Bigouden culture
The charming town of Pont l'Abbé is just 10 minutes from the campsite, and provides visitors with an interesting change of scenery, with its charming houses and elegant monuments. Here, the Atlantic Ocean ventures inland to bathe the town with peaceful waters, adding even more charm to the landscape. While you are staying on a campsite pitch or in rented accommodation on the campsite, it is easy to make a visit to Pont l'Abbé.
The town has some unusual sights, such as Barons du Pont Castle, which has been converted into the Town Hall and a museum about Bigouden culture.

Pont l'Abbé also has a marina that was a centre of trade from the 18th to the 19th century.

The town is a great place to go shopping, too, with a large number of varied shops and boutiques.
