サン・ウルバンのおすすめツーリングルート

A magnificent landscape on both sides!!!

Built for pilgrims in 1429, it was first a hospice dedicated to Saint Anne, then became a chapel in 1667. It is made of Logonna stone, recognizable by its yellow color. (Source: Tourist Office)

Beautiful Abbey, the gardens, the cemetery and the attached chapels, as well as the medieval village that surrounds it convey a feeling of travelling back in time...

Nice view of the bay and easy to drive as no cars can cross this small cycle and pedestrian bridge.

Daoulas is a commune located on the Mignonne estuary which flows into Brest harbor. Lurking in the shadow of the magnificent railway viaduct which connects Brest to Quimper, the city remains no less welcoming. Many shops welcome the curious, coming via the GR 34 or for a Sunday stroll. Its abbey, the Pont mill and the Saint-Anne chapel belong to the monuments that arouse everyone's curiosity.

Nestled in the picturesque backdrop of the Elorn and the port of Brest, the “Pont de Plougastel”, better known as “Pont Albert-Louppe”, rises into the sky. It served as the only connection across the river from 1930 to 1994, before the Iroise Bridge was added. Before this bridge dominated the landscape, people were solely dependent on ferry services. The majestic construction of the Pont Albert-Louppe stretches over 880 meters and towers 42 meters above sea level. What makes this bridge particularly remarkable are its three arches - with the largest of them holding the world record for concrete arch bridges at 186.4 meters. Nearby and in impressive contrast is the Iroise Bridge, built between 1991 and 1994, which crosses the Elorn between the towns of Relecq-Kerhuon and Plougastel. With a length of 800 meters and a span of 400 meters between its two pylons - which stand 83 meters above the deck - it was the bridge with the longest span in the world when it opened. It connects Brest with Quimper in Finistère and is reserved exclusively for car traffic. The closed Pont Albert-Louppe offers a privileged vantage point for pedestrians and photographers. From here you can not only capture the imposing Iroise Bridge in all its glory, but also enjoy a breathtaking view of the Elorn and the port of Brest. Among France's cable-stayed bridges, the Iroise Bridge takes third place, after the Pont de Normandie and the Pont de Saint-Nazaire, and ahead of the impressive Viaduc de Millau.

The Albert-Louppe bridge, first called the Plougastel bridge and still called the first Plougastel bridge, crosses the mouth of the Élorn in the harbor of Brest to connect the communes of Plougastel-Daoulas to Relecq-Kerhuon. It has been closed to cars since the construction of the new bridge. Access is therefore now reserved for pedestrians, bicycles, rollerblades, etc.

The “Plougastel Bridge”, also called “Albert Louppe Bridge”, was the only bridge from 1930 to 1994 (before that, only a ferry service existed). This bridge, measuring 880 meters long and raised 42 meters above sea level, is made up of three arches. In this sense, it is proud of the world span record for concrete arch bridges. Built between 1991 and 1994, the “new bridge” of Iroise appears in most of the photos presented here, but is only authorized for cars. It can boast of being one of the largest cable-stayed bridges (800 meters long, 400 meters between the two pylons, height of 83 meters above the deck). When the bridge was commissioned, it held the world record for the longest span.
