It is a charming place with some nice restaurants. From there we drove to the Pointe Saint-Mathieu and had a coastal walk (in the direction of Brest) and spent some time sitting in the sun. Paul and Ally preferred to lie down.
The views were great!
There are regular reminders of wartime activities as this is a strategic spot. They always make me feel sad.
The buildings on the point, the lighthouse chapel and memorial are stunning though.
The memorial is an incredibly powerful piece of sculpture. It does what good art should do and speaks of situations and feelings to which words cannot do any justice.
