The church is an attraction for tourists while staying in the region.

The miracle of miracles is of course the venerable statue of Our Lady of THE FOLGOET stone from Kersanton, who receives dozens and hundreds of people every day, depending on the season, to entrust their sorrows and joys to this maiden with the sweet face.

A flamboyant Gothic church, Notre-Dame du Folgoët is a major building of 15th century Breton architecture whose fame extends well beyond Léon. This monument, witness to the history of an entire country and its inhabitants, has seen great names pass through its walls (Anne of Brittany, François 1st, etc.). A spiritual center, particularly at the time of his famous pardon, this basilica also has undeniable architectural, cultural and even political and economic importance. Its popularity also owes a lot to the many mysteries that surround it and which make this religious building a unifying heritage of the Coast of Legends.

In front of the church on the left there is a wonderful boulangerie / patisserie called "Le Pêche Mignon"
