THE IROISE LAND
COME FOR A GREET WITH A LOCAL
Discover The Land of Iroise
The western tip of Brittany, preserved from mass tourism, there is an authenticity and a preserved nature in the Land of Iroise. Its intense landscapes, its nature sometimes wild, sometimes lush and its hidden treasures, make the Land of Iroise a real corner of paradise … and meetings.
Here, the colors change every minute and there are a multitude of words to describe all the shades of blue that the sea and the sky offer us.
A land-straddled between land and sea, these are all stories and riches that our Greeters are keen to share with you.
Who are we?
In the country of Iroise, we are above all passionate about our territory. While mass tourism disfigures too many sites, we are aware of its authenticity. We only want to share this preserved, still somewhat secret, with all those who wish to discover or rediscover it, in its historical and unusual aspects. We are five Greeters in the Land of Iroise, sharing this spirit of welcome and sharing; everyone has their own personality and interests, but all are complementary. We are just waiting for your visit, in all seasons, to take these walks together, and make you discover this country, its current or past riches, and its landscapes that the ocean conditions constantly renew.

BETWEEN EARTH AND SEA
Maryvonne, Jean and Gérard live in Lanildut, this picturesque port with a rich past, where the merchant captains of the 17th and 18th centuries built their rich mansions. Each, in his own way, will accompany you to discover its many facets.

GRANITE and ALGUES
In Lanildut, people have always drawn their livelihoods from the natural resources of the land and the sea. Granite is no longer extracted, but the goemoan boats still unload the seaweed harvested in the Molène Archipelago, making Lanildut the first European port for this activity.
Gérard will tell you about the prestigious fate of the Aber granite, and the equally amazing fate of the seaweed harvested by the harvesters of the sea.

TREOUERGAT : In the heart of Pays d’Iroise
Following the paths of yesteryear in a bocage landscape, going up and down the valleys and suddenly discovering an old fountain with medicinal virtues, a cross from the Middle Ages, a manor house from the 15th century, a house of character, the Resistance’s maquis from the last war, such are the encounters proposed during this hike at a bushy rhythm through one of the smallest communes of the Pays d’Iroise. Preserved from the consolidation, the village has kept its rural character and claims it. First of all, the village proposes its hundred-year-old church and its surprising particularities, then a house of English boat and finally the presbytery which became the town hall before attacking the tour of the commune.

IROISE COUNTRY GEOLOGY
The Pays d’Iroise offers an exceptional geological wealth linked to its belonging to the Armorican Massif. The latter is the witness of the succession of several mountain chains that have shaped it for a little over 500 million years. On the paths of the lanvénécois, plougonvelinois and conquétois littoral, come to discover rocks, minerals and many other geological curiosities which represent so many keys of reading of the history of the Earth. It is also an opportunity to make the link between the rocks and the rich historical heritage.
