Audierne's history goes back twenty centuries. Today's town, with its architecture and layout, reflects a rich history shaped by maritime activities.
With its elegant white facades, lush green hills and quaysides bustling with fishing and yachting, Audierne perfectly embodies the spirit of a true small Breton port for those who cherish the sea air and salty atmosphere of the Atlantic.
Situated at the mouth of an estuary leading to the ocean, the port enjoys a strategic position. It is both an essential port of call and a crossroads for Cap-Sizun, linking the Pointe du Raz to the west and the historic town of Pont-Croix to the east.
Take a stroll through the lively streets of the town centre, explore the alleyways, visit the hilltop churches, enjoy the cafés, bars, restaurants and shops, watch the boats come and go, then follow the towpath to the Raoulic mole.
