ÎLE-TUDY You ll love Ile Tudy with its narrow streets, typical low houses built back to the sea and its 3 km beach... It is a pleasant seaside resort. A short walk among the trees and flowers, Sainte Marine Port invites you to take the time for a break. It is on the island Tudy, that Tudy, also called Tugdual, landed in the 5th century. 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. http://www.ile-tudy.fr/ CONCARNEAU, the blue city The city was formed in the Middle Ages from the walled city located in the estuary of the Moros. This natural shelter allowed the development of the seventh fishing port with its major shipyards. From Concarneau you can also embark on a tour of the Glénan archipel, made up of seven islands surrounded by clear waters and white sandy beaches. You will think you are in a tropical paradise!
