Pointe Saint-Mathieu 照片檔

The pointe Saint-Mathieu (Lok Mazé in Breton) is a headland located near Le Conquet in the territory of the commune of Plougonvelin in France, flanked by 20m high cliffs.In the present, there are only a few houses on the point, grouped around the abbey ruins, but in the past the settlement was not limited to the abbey and its dependents. Very soon a village became established along the coast due to the location's commercial possibilities, the presence of the monasteries and the possibilities for salvaging wrecks.The abbey held many privileges - right to rushes, right to furnaces, rights to a twelfth of jet, right to markets, right to fairs and a weekly market, right to measure wheat and wine etc.
