For many years, artists have been attracted to the Pays Bigouden whether by
the lights, the colors of the fishing ports (Saint-Guenole & Penmarch) or the atmosphere of Audierne
Bay. It is without doubt a region which uniquely symbolizes Brittany.
The religious festivals "pardons" (Penhors) and the religious monuments (Tronoen) add to the quaint
nature of the region which charmed Daubigny, Lemordant and Jean Bazaine.
The Pays Bigouden house at Pont-l'Abbe depicts every day life in Cornouaille at the beginning of the
century, whilst Kerazan manor at Loctudy has on show a collection of canvases displayed in prestigious
frames.
