He founded his first hermitage there before building a monastery in Loctudy. At the time, Ile Tudy really was an island. Life was hard, and at each storm, the village was covered with sand and salt water. In the 19th century, the island became Tudy peninsula after a causeway was built on the dyke and then attracted wealthy people and artists. CONCARNEAU, the blue city The city was formed in the Middle Ages from the walled city located in the estuary of the Moros.
