On our last motorhome trip, we had the pleasure of discovering the brand-new CAMPING-CAR PARK in Pont-L'Abbéin Finistère. Situated in the heart of Brittany, this charming commune is renowned as the capital of the Pays Bigouden, with its deep-rooted traditions and typically Breton atmosphere.
As soon as we arrived at 1 bis résidence Les Trois Chênes, we appreciated the ease of access to the site. Thirty stabilized pitches on gravelled ground, each with an electric hook-up point and a small grassy area, were waiting for us. As always with CAMPING-CAR PARKwe found all the essential facilities: automatic reception, Wi-Fi hotspot, and a modern service area with a connected terminal and concrete emptying platform.
The real plus? Pont-L'Abbé town center is just a 5-minute walk away via a charming footpath. Ideal for exploring this town with its rich heritage.
We strolled along the quays built from the stones of the old city walls, before reaching the Gothic church of Notre-Dame des Carmes. This 14th-century chapel boasts magnificent 19th-century stained-glass windows, as well as an original rose window framed by fine granite lacework.
Just beyond the bridge, the Château des Barons du Pont is reflected in the pond. With its medieval keep, vaulted cellars and 18th-century rebuilt building, this site is a perfect illustration of the town's turbulent history, marked in particular by the Bonnets Rouges revolt.
Pont-L'Abbé is brimming with beautiful homes: 16th and 17th century town houses, 19th century mansions linked to the potato trade.... The Thursday market is still the biggest in Cornouaille, a real treat for lovers of local produce.
We also made a gourmet stop at the Pont-L'Abbé cookie factory, housed in an old watermill. Galettes, palets, kouign-amann and caramels are prepared according to traditional recipes dating back to 1936. A real treat!
On the sightseeing front, we highly recommend the Bigouden museum, the Kerazan manor house, the Pont Habitu00e9 and the Notre-Dame de Tréminou chapel.
And to round off the day in style, we dined at FIEF, 3 rue du Château. Chef Stéphane Varichon offers refined home cooking inspired by world spices and seasonal produce. An address not to be missed!
We had a very pleasant stay in the CCP area of Pont-L'Abbé, with its blend of comfort, heritage and gastronomy. If you have the Pack Privilège or the Pass Étapes Numérique, don't hesitate to come and explore this beautiful Cornouaille town with us!
