The Aulne River flows into the Rade de Brest beside the pretty village of Landévennec, home to the erstwhile Benedictine Abbaye St-Guénolé, pillaged by the Normans in the early 10th century. The museum records the history of the settlement, founded by St Guénolé (Winwaloe in English; Gwenole in Breton) in 485 and the oldest Christian site in Brittany. Not far away is a more recently built abbey housing a community of monks, who run a little shop selling homemade jams and jellies.
Landévennec has no public transport, so you'll need your own wheels.
