Amid the rugged beauty of the 'Pays Pagan' in the Finistère department, where the land meets the turquoise sea, you will find the charming fishing village of Menez Ham. This place, once full of activity and fishing nets, has over time been transformed into a living eco-museum that celebrates and breathes local culture.A look at the architecture immediately shows that there is a deep love of detail and history. From the carefully restored buildings with their slate and thatched roofs to the guardhouse that rests between two gigantic boulders and has often served as a showcase for the region's tourist brochures.A walk through the village is like a journey back in time. The thatched houses, hidden behind strangely shaped rocks, exude a timeless calm. The grassy dunes form the backdrop to the distinctive backdrop of beautiful beaches, clear turquoise water and fine white sand.Menez Ham offers not only the opportunity to immerse yourself in the past, but also the comfort of the present. Guests have the opportunity to stay overnight in the lovingly renovated buildings and sample local cuisine in the cozy restaurants.

One of the most touristic places in the area. Fishing village renovated into an ecomuseum. Places of local culture. Beautiful view of the sea and its unusual rocks placed on the dunes. Well-renovated buildings with slate and thatch roofs. Possibility of a holiday rental. Possibility to eat. The detour is worth it!

The guardhouse nestled between two huge boulders has often served as an illustration for tourist brochures of the region. The charming fishing village seems frozen in the ancient times of its construction.
