Tourist information:
Brittany, land of light and contrasts.
In South Brittany, particularly in Cornwall, there is a small corner of paradise : Nevez and its thirty hamlets, each more picturesque than the other.
Linked by small roads winding through the verdant countryside, the visitor can make restful stops at the foot of the crosses he will find at almost every intersection.
This Britain Eden, between Concarneau and Pont-Aven, have many architectural and natural treasures.
The painter, the watercolorist, or the photographer will find here material for their art, and will immortalize undoubtedly landscapes, lighthouses, cliffs, coves and inlets that line the coast.
The old way of life leads to unique features.
Granite is omnipresent, but its mineral tone is softened by the fireworks colors that nature offers to the eye during spring or fall.
Houses with thatched roofs, which are found especially in the village of Kerascoët give life to the imagination that tourists have of this beautiful country : Brittany.
In Nevez, next to the Tourist Office, the curious visitor can find in a small alley, a specific peculiarity : "The Standing Stones" assembled to close gardens.
Used since the eighteenth century, in the immediate vicinity of the quarries, "Standing Stones" which can measure 2 meters in height, allowed the construction of shelters, houses and fences.
This peculiarity has also spawned a succulent chocolate specialty which will delight the palate of young and old.
The sweet life of Henan.
Between countryside and ocean, the site of Henan boasts, rightly, a singular monument : the Tide Mill.
Robustly located at the confluence of the Aven and Belon, this mill is powered by the ebb and flow of the tides.
The whole Henan is contained in a green setting where nature lovers will be able to discover, with delight, the Arboretum, the Chapel of Saint Margaret (sixteenth century) - in excellent condition - and three fountains.
The Néveziens have chosen to preserve the religious heritage of the town, and so these chapels dating from the fifteenth, fourteenth and eighteenth century, to the delight of visitors keen on architecture or history.
Exploring the coastline
The coast, meanwhile, is and will remain etched in the memory of "aficionados" of marine pleasure and of children.
Indeed, coves and bays offer, under the summer sun, beaches of fine white sand to build ephemeral castles.
Lighthouse from Port Manec'h to "Tahiti"
And that would be Britain without its lighthouses, immortalized by many artists?
The Port Manec'h lighthouse elances its white silhouette, accented with red vermillion, to the sky.
Ideally situated at the estuary of the 2 rivers, it is the rallying point for the start of a nice trail that takes hikers along the cliffs overlooking the ocean with their steep vertiginous, to the Raguénez beach, nicknamed "Tahiti " by locals because of its turquoise waters and white sand beaches.
The view over the Glénans Archipelago, off coast, is breathtaking.
