 Finistère is the region on the west coast of Brittany. Oceanopolis is the main attraction in Brest, a huge marine theme park.
Just a few kilometres from the mainland lies the island of Ouessant and the Molène archipelago, rich in wildlife with colonies of grey seals, dolphins and numerous seabirds. The capital is Lampaul.
Roscoff’s 19th century merchants’ houses, narrow alleys and the church of Notre Dame de Croatz are worth a visit. Boat trips run to the Ile de Batz, a tiny offshore island.
Good places to visit include the Océanopolis in Brest and the windy Ile d'Ouessant, Roscoff with its sandy beaches is worth a visit too and Quimper is famous for its pottery and fine gothic cathedral.
