Douarnenez Bay

What we call Douarnenez Bay includes Douarnenez town itself plus the neighbouring parishes of:  Le Juch, Kerlaz, Pouldergat and Poullan-sur-mer,

‘Pays de Penn Sardin’between ‘Cap Sizun’ (west), la Presqu’île de Crozon (north), le Pays Glazik (Est). Le nom provient des coiffes traditionnelles que portaient les femmes. La façade maritime donne sur la Baie de Douarnenez, baie protectrice lors des tempêtes.
