Saint-Suliac
Set in the centre of a tangle of narrow lanes, lined with fishermen's houses or granite walls enclosing gardens, the church of Saint-Suliac overlooks with its imposing bell tower an old cemetery with which it forms a parish close, rare in Upper Brittany. In the village territory, paths set off to meet sites as varied as they are unexpected, such as the Beauchet tide mill, the old Guettes salt pans created in 1736, the Chablé menhir known as Gargantua's tooth, or the remains of a Viking camp. The fishing and pleasure port is each year the scene of regattas that recall Saint-Suliac's rich maritime past. All the men were sailors and the Virgin of Grainfollet, patron of the Newfoundland fishermen, bears witness above the village to the heavy toll these shore peasants had to pay to the sea to ensure their survival.
