Walking by Sainte Anne Bay, you will discover an area rich in history and spirituality. Well before the construction of Sainte-Anne des Rochers Chapel in 1636, the area was home to several religious monuments, including a dolmen in the Neolithic period and a stele (carved stone slab) in Celtic times. On the coast, Castel Sainte Anne mansion and the villas bear testament to the birth of seaside tourism in Trégastel at the end of the nineteenth century. You will also find the bronze medallion inlaid in the rock bearing the effigy of the poet Léon Durocher who died in 1918. The plaque commemorating 150 years since the birth of Académie Française member Charles Le Goffic was inaugurated in 2013.
