In the bay of Paimpol, the abbey of Beauport is one of the most beautiful monastic ensembles of Brittany. In 1992, the Conservatoire du Littoral acquired the abbey and the natural estate to better protect them. 20 years of work in close association with the department of Côtes d'Armor have helped to safeguard the beauty of the monument, its maritime landscapes and its environment. After short introductions of 10 minutes, (re)discover the history of the abbey and its gardens over a walk between the Middle Ages and romantic ruin. To go further, two exhibition spaces allow you to discover all the riches of the place and its scenery.
