Discover Plougasnou

A town that looks to the sea and keeps its character

Plougasnou is more than a single beach or a postcard view of the Pointe de Primel. Its coastline alternates between beaches, coves, rocks, harbours and stretches of the Sentier des Douaniers coastal path.

The Domaine lies inland, in a quiet, wooded setting. This means you can enjoy the coast during the day and return to unspoilt parkland in the evening, without pretending to be a campsite right on the water.

The best choice depends on the weather, the wind, the tide and how you feel that day. Reception can point you in the right direction depending on conditions.
