A former commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. On 1 January 2017, it was merged into the new commune Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages.
Spectacular huge granitic stones along the sea shore especially at the local bay entry.
More largely an hercynian granitic massif situated in the north-west of the North-Armorican domain in the cristallophyllian set of the Léon along the Channel sea.
Two rock types are identifiable. The first one forms the central element and consists in coarse-grained granite, large feldspar crystals and euhedral cordierite: this is the porphyritic facies. In addition is the border facies surrounding the entire southern edge of which the rock distinguishes from the preceding by the absence of cordierite and a greater development of muscovite.
