A city in the northeastern part of the departement of Finistère.The bedrock is a granite of the Hercynian orogenesis (310 million years), that extends to the Ile de Batz north of it.
The granite contains a lot of pegmatitic veins, that can also be seen in the buildings for which the granite is used. Most veins contain only tourmaline+quartz+feldspar; a little muscovite and small garnets are the most common accessories. A few finds of larger (common) beryl are known.
