Île-Tudy

Until the middle of the 19th century, L'Île-Tudy was connected to the continent by a sand dune forming 300 hectares of mudflats and salt meadows but in bad weather, gaps formed and the town was isolated. In 1852, polders were developed and a road fully connected L'Île-Tudy to Combrit. Long considered one of the most important fishing ports in southern Finistère, the town continued to develop with the establishment of canneries in the 19th century, the last unit closing its doors in the last third of the 20th century. At the start of the 21st century, fishing is no longer just a leisure activity, and the port is now dedicated to pleasure. However, the village has retained a typical culture and appearance, which with its beaches and leisure activities have made it a pleasant seaside resort popular with families since the 1950s. With more than 750 inhabitants all year round, L'Île-Tudy comes alive in the summer and is a stopover of interest.

Cute little place with nice cafes.
