Isolated in heath and dunes, not far away from the village Saint-Jean-Trolimon, the visitor finds the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Tronoën, one of the landmarks of Brittany. The church was built in the second half of the 15th century in a flamboyant Gothic style. Not to be seen from this pov is the main attraction: the oldest and probably most complex calvary of the area.
