🗺️ Île de Sein

The island of free men

The island of Sein, lying almost flush with the water at the Pointe du Raz, rises to just 6 metres. In June 1940, every able-bodied man on the island joined de Gaulle in London — a legendary historical event. Today, this preserved corner of Finistère captivates with its mineral landscapes, its unique light and its authenticity.
