Île Milliau

Trébeurden

About

With its remarkable pink granite rock formations and darker sedimentary rocks, Île Milliau offers a landscape which takes your breath away. As well as enjoying the site's natural beauty, you can look for traces of human settlement. The first signs date from the Neolithic period: our ancestors erected a gallery grave which would have served as a burial monument. Then, legend has it that in the sixth century a monk named Milliau came from a northern country to evangelise the area and settled here. You will also find a farmstead here, built at the end of the Middle Ages and now renovated. On the way, you will go round the Presqu’île du Castel peninsula, passing "Père Trébeurden" (Father Trébeurden), a rock in the shape of a face. Wear good shoes and take care, as the area is steep and slippy, and on some days the tides make access to Île Milliau impossible.
