Locronan
Lokorn
One of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in France', with a well-preserved granite square and a 15th-century church. Once a linen-weaving hub, it is a popular film location.
The central square of Locronan is ringed by merchants' houses built of dark grey granite. The Church of Saint Ronan is in the Flamboyant Gothic style. The village bans exposed electric wires, so it feels like the Middle Ages. Films such as Tess were shot here. The lanes are lined with craft workshops and crêperies, and the Christmas light displays in December are very popular. About 65 km from Brest, it pairs well with a same-day trip to Douarnenez and Quimper.
