Pont-Croix 1358: discover Brittany in the Middle Ages
In the heart of Finistère, a village unlike any other welcomes you: Pont-Croix 1358. This carefully reconstructed historic site offers a true immersion in the daily life of Bretons in the 14th century. Houses, merchants' stalls, animal enclosures, crops, a windmill, ovens... everything is there to transport you back several centuries.
Come visit the homes, ovens, shops, and even the tavern, built by enthusiasts using medieval techniques!
Everything here has been designed to faithfully recreate the atmosphere of a medieval Breton village.
Wandering its narrow streets, you'll come across artisans demonstrating their skills: basketry, blacksmithing, calligraphy, brewing, and more.
The free-roaming animals and the existing crops reinforce this feeling of traveling back in time. This unique place doesn't just exhibit: it tells, it shares, it brings history to life!
And for an even more immersive experience, don't miss the Living History Days, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on:
These weekends are an opportunity to attend craft demonstrations, chat with medieval enthusiasts, and enjoy a gourmet break in the village tavern.
A dive into the past for the whole family!
The village is open from July 6 to September 8, Tuesday to Sunday, from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Allow 1 hour and 15 minutes for the guided tour.
