The Church of Lambour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Port and the Inhabited Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
During centuries XVIII and XIX, the port of Pont-l’Abb\u00e9 was a vital commercial place. Here the grain, fish, and potatoes were exported, and the wine, salt, and spices were imported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today\nwe can see some boats, mostly recreational. But it’s a very nice place\nto take a walk and see the city’s inhabited bridge. The bridge is one of\nthe nine inhabited bridges in France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This castle was built between the 13th and 14th centuries to serve as a fortress for Baroness du Pont. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1675, the revolt was called “the revolt of the hats ” where the inhabitants protested against the new tax hike. As a result, they destroyed and burned the castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early 18th century, the main building was rebuilt. It was used as a prison during the revolution, and today is the Town Hall of Pont-l’Abb\u00e9 and the Bigouden Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Monument to the Bigoudens of Pont-l’Abb\u00e9<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This work of granite and bronze by Francois Bazin won the National Prize in 1929. This work represents 4 women and a girl: grandmother, mother, sister, daughter, and the young daughter, the five ages of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They’re thinking about their children, siblings, husbands, and grandchildren, who fight the storms in the sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the sides, you’ll see two low bronze reliefs illustrating scenes of Celtic mythology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church of Notre Dame des Carmes (Our Lady of the Carmelites) is the former chapel Carmelite convent founded in 1383 by Baron Herv\u00e9 IV Du Pont and his wife P\u00e9ronnelle de Rochefort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who appealed to the religion of the order of Mount Carmel to instruct and catechize the people in his domain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is built a convent, a cloister, and a church; the works were completed in 1411.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1792, the convent and the cloister were sold as national property, and the church became a parish. In 1879, the city bought the convent to convert it into a school. In 1880 the cloister was demolished located in the southern area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
