Maison de l'algue

Iridescent sheets of light rippling through the kelp and views plunging into the depths of the gulf... Nestling in one of Brittany's "fjords", Aber-Ildut, the Maison de l'algue in Lanildut offers a sensational immersion in the oceanic world of the Iroise Sea. An original stop-off on the Route des Phares, this museum displays a range of ways to discover seaweed from the neighbouring archipelago of Molène. Make tartars, tapenades and other recipes using dulse and sea lettuce in a cookery workshop. Improve your knowledge by taking part in a life-size quiz, or opt for an open-air visit and enjoy a kombu infusion in front of the ovens and coastal shelters once used by the seaweed growers of this small port that has become the king of green gold.
