Le Faou

A town of true character

A town that is peaceful and protected, in a remarkable setting. Pronounced 'le foo', this feudal town had an intense level of activity in and around the port in days gone by, and knew how to make the most of it. Drawing on the surroundings of the Crozon Peninsula, the Monts d’Arrée, and the busy commercial centre of Brest, its activity flourished. All along the main commercial street you'll see fine medieval houses with corbels and covered in slate, built from local granit.
