    The Tronoën chapel is the most visited in the Pays Bigouden thanks to its imposing calvary which is considered the oldest of the 7 monumental Breton calvaries. In addition, this chapel faces the magnificent Bay of Audierne. Arriving via the Saint-Jean-Trolimon road and just before the coast which goes up towards it, you can see its bell tower with three spires. It is called "Cathedral of the Dunes" because it was built on dunes. The Tronoën Calvary was also built in the 15th century. Around its base, several scenes are represented and retrace 30 stages of the life of Christ. They are spread over 3 levels.
