Petit Minou Lighthouse • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to one of the most iconic landscapes in all of Brittany. You are standing at the Petit Minou Lighthouse. Look out at that characteristic winding stone bridge that leads your eye directly to the cylindrical white tower. While the name Minou sounds exactly like the French word for kitten, it actually has a much older, deeper root. In the Breton language, the word min means mouth or point, and minou is simply its plural form, referring to the various rocky points that jut into the sea here. This lighthouse stands as a critical sentinel at the entrance to the Goulet de Brest, the narrow strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the massive roadstead of Brest. As you walk toward the tower, notice how the path seems to bridge the gap between the land's edge and the raw power of the Iroise Sea.
