Hiking

The Saint-Mathieu lighthouse is classified as a historic monument. It was the first fire in Finistère. It peaks at 37 meters high. Tours are organized, if you are not afraid to climb the 163 steps that lead to its summit.

Hiking

In addition to the large lighthouse with a red top there is also a smaller tower next to it - I suppose a military control tower.
