Ferme Apicole de Térénez

This intriguing place, 8km west of Le Faou on the D791, is abuzz with live bees that you can view in its honey museum. Depending on the season, you might also see busy-bee apiculteurs (beekeepers) Irène and Stéphane Brindeau using environmentally friendly cold-extraction methods to draw out the all-natural honey from among their 700 hives. There's honey-tasting and you can buy honey, nougat and other homemade honey products like hydromel (chouchenn in Breton; a fermented alcoholic drink made from honey and water).

They also have B&B accommodation, with singles €38 to €50, doubles €45 to €55 and triples €60. Guests get to use their bikes for free.
