Museums
Slide 1 of 8
This museum is dedicated to the an essential symbol of Breton Culture which is the “coiffed” or headless and this grand building is the site for the reflections on the past and the keeping of that cultural identity to the present
Beautiful exhibition of local costumes and embroidery. Would have been much better if English explanations had been included. Lots of steps to the different exhibits in the tower but well lit and a good handrail.
Very interesting visit
(Translated by Google) The museum itself didn't really impress us; we wanted more objects and more information. However, the city itself is a dream. Lots of small streets, nice shops and an almost car-free city center. Around town.lots of free parking. It is also worth taking a trip from the surrounding area. (Original) Das Museum an sich hat uns nicht so überzeugt, da hatten wir uns mehr Objekte und mehr Informationen gewünscht. Die Stadt an sich ist allerdings ein Traum. Viel kleinen Gassen, nette Geschäfte und fast eine autofreie Innenstadt. Um die Stadt herum.viele kostenlose Parkplätze. Es lohnt sich auch ein Ausflug aus der näheren Umgebung.
(Translated by Google) Excellent museum, very good visit, the lady at reception is very pleasant and what a pleasure to have been able to discuss the culture around Bigouden. But in reality the museum is more complete than that, you have information on the Bigouden and on the meaning of the furniture. It is small but full of charm, with a small shop. To do! (Original) Excellent musée, très bonne visite, la dame de l'accueil est très agréable et quel plaisir d'avoir pu échanger sur la culture autour de la Bigouden. Mais en réalité le musée est plus complet que cela, vous avez des informations sur la Bigouden et sur la signification du mobilier. Il est petit mais empli de charme, doté d'une petite boutique. A faire !
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended museum. The textile theme, even if it doesn't interest you, becomes interesting. Without great pretensions. Now, the enclosure, an old, round and renovated palace, is spectacular. (Original) Museo muy aconsejable. La temática del tèxtil, aunque no te interese, se hace interesante. Sin grandes pretensiones. Ahora sí, el recinto , un antiguo palacio, redondo i reformado és espectacular.
(Translated by Google) Superb museum I loved this place and given that we had paid entry for the embroiderers' parade we did not pay entry to the museum it's very nice on the part of the museum. We had a pleasant time. (Original) Superbe musee j'ai adoré cet endroit de plus etant donne que nous avions paye l entree pour le defile des brodeuses nous n avons pas paye l entree du musee c est tres sympa de la part du musee . Nous avons passe un agréable moment .

Very helpful and had good suggestions of place to eat. We had a great time in the area, loads to look at and do. Beautiful beaches
Visited on Sunday 15th July 2018 (last day of the Festival des Brodeuses). We just wanted to eat something but the centre was shut due to the Festival (10€ fees for access, which we didn't wanted to pay as we were arriving right at the end of the parade). The agent was very unsure of what parts of the place were accessible and what restaurant was open. Not very helpful, despite being extremely friendly and polite. A shame on such a big day for them!
Magic. They Sort accommodation, when thing had not worked out elsewhere. Worship the staff for their help. Will be back.
(Translated by Google) Welcoming and very professional staff (Original) Personnel accueillant et très professionnel
(Translated by Google) Very welcoming, friendly staff full of good advice and anecdotes. It made us want to discover the region. Numerous documentations were provided to us. Thank you. (Original) Personnel très accueillant, sympathique et pleins de bons conseils et d'anecdotes. Il nous a donné envie de découvrir la région. De nombreuses documentations nous ont été fournis. Merci à vous.
(Translated by Google) I'm a local but for me it was always at the roundabout! Very satisfied with the new site in a characterful building full of history with very friendly staff who will be able to answer all your questions 🙂 (Original) Je suis du coin mais pour moi c était toujours au niveau du rond point ! Très satisfait de du nouveau site dans une bâtisse de caractère chargée d histoire avec un personnel très sympathique qui saura répondre à toutes vos questions 🙂
(Translated by Google) A big thank you to Tangi from the Pont-l'Abbé tourist office for his warm welcome! He took the time to explain things to us thoroughly, always with a smile. Thanks to him, we discovered lots of interesting information... and even some delicious secrets that we would never have discovered on our own! Thank you for his kindness and passion, it's really a pleasure. (Original) Un grand merci à Tangi de l’office de tourisme de Pont-l’Abbé pour son accueil chaleureux ! Il a pris le temps de bien nous expliquer les choses, toujours avec le sourire. Grâce à lui, on a découvert plein d’infos intéressantes… et même quelques secrets gourmands qu’on n’aurait jamais trouvés tout seuls ! Merci pour sa gentillesse et sa passion, ça fait vraiment plaisir.

Swimming pool

Communal swimming pool, family friendly and helpful staff.
(Translated by Google) I recommend +++ It is a swimming pool with a large swimming pool, a small, fairly large pool with an integrated jacuzzi and finally a paddling pool with a mini slide and small water toys. The big attraction of the swimming pool: a superb slide almost 60m long (prohibited for children under 1m) which will delight young and old alike! It should be noted that bins with accessories (boards, floating belts, balls, etc.) are freely available to users. A clear plus! The water temperature is very pleasant. The staff is very welcoming, pleasant and attentive to the well-being of visitors. They very kindly offered to lend me a swimming cap (even though there are vending machines to buy one at reception). The swimming pool is generally very clean. Shower gel, a hair dryer and a free sanitary protection dispenser (unheard of for me!) are available. Large parking lot right in front. Flawless! Especially for the price of a municipal swimming pool: I paid 10€ for my 3 year old son and myself. (Original) Je recommande +++ Il s’agit d’une piscine avec un grand bassin de natation, un petit bassin assez grand avec un jacuzzi intégré et enfin une pataugeoire disposant d’un mini toboggan et de petits jouets d’eau. La grande attraction de la piscine : un superbe toboggan de près de 60m de long (interdit aux enfants de moins de 1m) qui fera la joie des jeunes et moins jeunes ! Il est à noter que des bacs avec accessoires (planches, ceintures flottantes, ballons…) sont à la libre disposition des usagers. Un clair plus ! La température de l’eau est très agréable. Le personnel est très accueillant, agréable et attentif au bien être des visiteurs. On m’a très gentiment proposé de me prêter un bonnet de bain (alors qu’il y a des distributeurs pour en acheter à l’accueil). La piscine est très propre de manière générale. Du gel douche, un sèche cheveux ainsi qu’un distributeur gratuit de protections hygiéniques (du jamais vu pour ma part!) sont à disposition. Un grand parking juste devant. Un sans faute ! Surtout pour le prix d’une piscine municipale : j’ai payé 10€ pour mon fils de 3 ans et moi même.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful local swimming pool with welcoming staff. The price is higher than other municipal swimming pools. But due to very restricted public hours as in all French public swimming pools, I can generally only go there once a week. I understand that wide opening hours are probably reserved for schoolchildren, but what do the majority of other countries do which open widely outside of these opening hours. Why not a continuous opening on weekends and a few nights with only one person at reception. The swimming lines would be less crowded and the service to the community broader. Thanks for thinking about it. I have lived abroad and back in France juggling the 2 opening hours here and there, then the obviously crowded swimming lines, is really a sport in itself... (Original) Une belle piscine de proximité avec un personnel accueillant. Le prix est plus élevé que d'autres piscines municipales. Mais du fait des horaires publics très restreints comme dans toutes les piscines publiques françaises, je ne peux généralement n'y aller qu'une fois par semaine. Je comprends que de larges horaires soient probablement réservés aux scolaires, mais comment font la majorité des autres pays qui ouvrent largement en dehors de ces horaires.pourqoi pas une ouverture continue le WE et quelques nocturnes avec seulement une personne à l'accueil. Les lignes de nage seraient moins encombrées et le service à la communauté plus large. Merci d'y réfléchir. J'ai vécu à l'étranger et de retour en France jongler avec les 2 h d'ouverture ici ou là, puis les lignes de nage encombrées forcément, est vraiment du sport en soi...
(Translated by Google) We went to the swimming pool this Thursday, we were very pleasantly surprised. The swimming pool is made up of a pool with 6 water lines, each 25m long, a small pool with a jacuzzi and a paddling pool. The pools were respectively at 27°C, 29°C and 31°C. We also discovered a slide which can only be a plus for us. There were very few people there, contrary to our expectations in the middle of the school year. The swimming pool also has a code locker which we find easier to use. This pool is great, I highly recommend it to everyone!!! (Original) Nous sommes allé à la piscine ce jeudi, nous avons été très agréablement surpris. La piscine est composé d'un bassin de 6 lignes d'eau faisant chacune 25m, d'un petit bassin avec un jacuzzi et d'une pataugeoire. Les bassin étaient respectivement à 27°C, 29°C et 31°C. Nous avons aussi découvert un toboggan ce qui ne peut être qu'un plus pour nous. Il y avait très peu de monde contrairement à nos attentes en pleine période scolaire. La piscine dispose aussi de casier à code que nous trouvons plus simple d'utilisation. Cette piscine est super, je recommande vivement à tous !!!
(Translated by Google) Nice swimming pool and a fairly fast slide...clean changing rooms and toilets...I recommend. (Original) Piscine sympa et un toboggan assez rapide ...vestiaires et sanitaires propres ... je recommande .
(Translated by Google) Regular swimmer at this pool, it is always clean, the staff is smiling and friendly. The temperature of the sports pool is very good and the price of subscription cards is competitive. Only downside: It's a shame not to "sort" the lines (slow, fast swimming, fins, etc.). This creates tension between the swimmers and prevents them from fully enjoying their session. (Original) Nageur régulier de cette piscine, elle est toujours propre, le personnel est souriant et aimable. La température du bassin sportif est très bonne et le tarif des cartes d'abonnements est compétitif. Seul bémol : Il est dommage de ne pas "trier" les lignes ( nage lente , rapide, palmes,..) . Cela créé des tensions entre les nageurs et empêche de profiter pleinement de sa séance.
(Translated by Google) Clean pool, staff is very friendly, I recommend!! (Original) Piscine propre, le personnel est très sympathique, je recommande !!

I love this pub just like a proper cornish pub good vibe lovely people
😎I hated it. Free drinks tho
Quite a good experience
(Translated by Google) We simply feel good! Sunny and demarcated wooden terrace, cocooning effect inside and out... MOST I was very touched by the initiative to put a small box in the toilets where women have tampons and towels available! This system is based on the generosity and solidarity of customers! So, if you were to come, participate in this beautiful chain of solidarity 😍 (Original) On se sent bien, tout simplement ! Terrasse en bois ensoleillée, et délimitée, effet cocooning dedans comme dehors... LE PLUS NJ'ai été très touchée par l'initiative de mettre dans les WC, une petite boîte où les femmes ont à disposition, tampons et serviettes ! Ce dispositif reposant sur la générosité et la solidarité des clientes ! Alors, si vous deviez venir, participer à cette belle chaîne de solidarité 😍

(Translated by Google) A unique and ecological experience. Departure from the beach in clothing provided. Solo or in groups on kayaks, we row until we reach a pretty bay where we can observe seals and let them come to us. The facilitator is educational and patient. A great time to spend with family or friends, whether you're a beginner or an expert. (Original) Une expérience unique et écologique. Départ depuis la plage en tenue fournies. En solo ou à plusieurs sur des kayaks on rame jusqu’à atteindre une jolie baie d’où on peut observer des phoques et les laisser venir à nous. L’animateur est didactique et patient. Un super moment à passer en famille ou entre amis qu’on soit débutants ou expert.
I had two windsurfing lessons with my son age 11. Our instructors Antoine and Jérôme were brilliant and very patient with us particularly as our French is so poor. I progressed very rapidly, having had some experience of windsurfing before. My son found it difficult and probably needs another year or two to gain some strength. We would love to return next year.
Rented two kayaks plus wetsuits and flotation jackets here for me and my sons. Gear was in immaculate condition. Good safety orientation and briefing before we went out on the bay near the centre. They take safety seriously - plenty of RIBs on standby to rescue customers who go astray and nautical charts of the bay displayed prominently inside and outside the office. The staff member we dealt with was friendly and helpful. We would happily visit again.
(Translated by Google) A superb sporting outing to discover the seals of the Etocs! A big thank you for this moment, your welcome, and the great atmosphere 😉 (plus the bonus of a motorboat for the kids 👍) Thank you, Jérôme. (Original) Une superbe sortie sportive à la découverte des phoques des Etocs ! Un grand merci pour ce moment, votre accueil et la bonne ambiance 😉 (en plus du bonus dans le bateau à moteur pour les enfants 👍) Merci Jérôme.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful kayak trip in the heart of the Etoks. Warning: you'd better be very strong if you want a single-seater! We were able to quietly observe the seals, even if there were few. Our guide was very clear and friendly. Go there with your eyes closed, or not if you want to see the seals 😁 (Original) Belle balade en kayak au cœur des Etoks. Attention : il vaut mieux être bien costaud si on veut un monoplace ! On a pu observer tranquillement les phoques, même s'il y en avait peu. Notre guide était très clair et sympathique. Allez-y les yeux fermés, ou pas si vous voulez voir les phoques 😁
(Translated by Google) A superb experience with Jérôme as our instructor. We were able to observe around ten gray seals and receive numerous explanations about the marine world. A wonderful 10km ocean adventure. Beautiful passages between the rocks to observe the seals. I highly recommend this family outing. (Original) Superbe expérience avec Jérôme comme moniteur. Nous avons pu observer une dizaine de phoques gris et avoir de nombreuses explications sur le monde marin. Une belle aventure sur l'océan de 10km. De jolis passages entre les rochers pour observer les phoques. Je conseille fortement cette balade en famille.
(Translated by Google) Superb kayaking trip exploring the Etocs and its photo colony. Stunning scenery. Friendly staff (a little late, but they waited for us). 3-hour trip: 1 hour there - 1 hour on site - 1 hour back. (Original) Superbe balade en kayak à la découverte des Etocs et de sa colonie de photos. Superbes paysages. Personne sympa (un peu en retard et ils nous attendus). 3 h de balade : 1 h aller - 1 h sur site-1 h retour.
(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience with Jérôme and Josephine. A super friendly team who did everything they could to ensure our daughters had a wonderful time with the seals! Thank you!!! PS: We'd love a photo of Jérôme ☺️ (Original) Très chouette expérience avec Jérôme et Josephine.
