Matignon

Highlight • Settlement

The town was born in the 11th century around a castle built by the lord of Matignon, whose heiress married Étienne Gouyon in the 12th century. It was a descendant of this lineage, Jacques III de Gouyon, lord of Matignon and de la Roche Gouyon, who bought in Paris in 1723 the private mansion then under construction which later became the residence of the Prime Minister.
The son of the same Jacques III married Louise-Hippolyte Grimaldi and became Prince of Monaco. The current sovereigns are his descendants. Prince Albert thus holds, among other titles, that of Lord of Matignon. This is why during an event occurring in the princely family, the bells of the Breton village church are rung.
If the original castle has disappeared, Matignon has a heritage of interest and offers the image of a village of nearly 1,700 inhabitants which combines the charms of the coast and the tranquility of a prosperous countryside.

Cannon at Pointe de l'Isle

Highlight • Monument

The tip of the Isle looks out over the Atlantic, placid. There you will find a semaphore, an orientation table, and a cannon dating from the mid-18th century. Legend has it that the cannon was found at the foot of the cliffs, more than 200 years after its fall.

Saint-Cast

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Cast is rightly considered one of the most beautiful coastal towns in northern Brittany: one and a half kilometers of white sandy beach on the Grand Plage (or Plage des Mielles) and everything that makes a seaside resort, in the district of La Garde, winding lanes steeply on the hillside in L'Isle , boat harbor, beach boulevard, shops and restaurants of all kinds.

Battle of Saint-Cast Commemorative Column

Highlight • Monument

The 18-metre-high column is made of granite and topped with a cast iron sculpture of a greyhound symbolising France defeating an English leopard.

Inaugurated on 18 September 1858, it commemorates the French victory of 1758, one of the rare ones over the English during the Seven Years' War.

Commanded by the Duke of Aiguillon, it allowed the English troops to be pushed back after two and a half hours of intense combat. The Latin inscription engraved on the column means: "Better death than a stain, you alone are great and make great events".
