About
In summer, Saint-Pol-de-Léon has a second market: on Sundays, from 9 am to 1 pm, in front of the cathedral. In 2026, it ran from 12 July to 30 August. It complements the big Tuesday market, held all year round on Place de l’Évêché and Place de Guébriant. The cathedral square makes a fine setting for browsing the stalls, before a visit to the building. After the market, you can visit Roscoff, about 7 minutes by car (4.5 km), and the Château de Kérouzéré in Sibiril, about 11 minutes by car (7.9 km). By the sea, Théven beach, in Santec, is about 7 minutes by car (5.4 km), and Dossen beach about 10 minutes by car (5.7 km).
