Le Faou

Le Faou lies in one of the rias or long narrow inlets in Brest harbour and is on the route to get to the Presqu’île de Crozon. It was once a bustling port what with the transport of oak and especially beech (ar faou in Breton) from the trees that stood in Le Cranou forest. From its golden age in the 16C the village has kept many corbelled houses built of shale and granite and also the church of Saint Sauveur.
