Fouesnant, the top seaside resort in Finistère
Fouesnant-les Glénan is the leading seaside resort in Finistère. Its rugged coastline, stretching between three striking headlands (Cap Coz, Beg Meil and Mousterlin), offers a remarkable variety of coastal scenery for Brittany: long sandy beaches, secret coves tucked between rocks, wild dunes and century-old pine groves.
All bathing waters in the commune are rated "Excellent" by the French Ministry of Health, and Fouesnant holds the Blue Flag award every year. Just a few minutes away, the neighbouring resort of Bénodet rounds out the seaside offer, and the legendary Glénan Islands are just a boat trip away from Beg Meil.
