On our latest motorhome road trip, we had the pleasure of discovering the brand-new CAMPING-CAR PARK site in Pont-L’Abbé, in Finistère. Located in the heart of Brittany, this charming town is renowned as the capital of the Pays Bigouden, rich in deep-rooted traditions and authentic Breton character.

As soon as we arrived at 1 bis Résidence Les Trois Chênes, we appreciated how easy the site was to access. Thirty gravel hardstanding pitches—each equipped with an electric hook-up and a small grassy patch—were ready and waiting. As always with CAMPING-CAR PARK, all the essential facilities were there: an automated entry kiosk, Wi-Fi hotspot, and a modern service area complete with a smart terminal and a concrete waste disposal station.

The real plus? The Pont-L’Abbé town center is just a 5-minute walk away via a charming pedestrian path. It’s the perfect way to explore this town with its rich heritage.

We strolled along the quays built from the stones of the old walls before heading to the Gothic Notre-Dame des Carmes church. This 14th-century chapel houses magnificent 19th-century stained glass and an original rose window framed by delicate granite lace.

Just past the bridge, the Château des Barons du Pont is reflected in the pond. With its medieval keep, vaulted cellars, and 18th-century reconstructed building, this site beautifully illustrates the town's turbulent history, notably marked by the Revolt of the Red Bonnets.

Pont-L’Abbé is full of beautiful residences: 16th and 17th-century mansions and 19th-century bourgeois houses linked to the potato trade. The Thursday market remains the largest in Cornouaille today, a real treat for lovers of local produce.

We also made a gourmet stop at the Pont-L’Abbé biscuit factory, located in an old water mill. Galettes, palets, kouign-amann, and caramels are all prepared using traditional 1936 recipes. A delight!

For sightseeing, we highly recommend the Bigouden Museum, the Manoir de Kerazan, the Pont Habité, and the Notre-Dame de Tréminou chapel.

To end the day on a high note, we dined at Le FIEF, 3 rue du Château. Chef Stéphane Varichon offers refined, homemade cuisine inspired by global spices and seasonal products. A must-visit spot!

We had a very pleasant stay at this CCP area in Pont-L’Abbé, enjoying a mix of comfort, heritage, and gastronomy. If you have the Privilèges Pack, come and explore this beautiful town in Cornouaille just like we did!
