A history to discover
Prehistory and Antiquity
The first traces of human occupation in the Bay of Morlaix date back to prehistoric times, as evidenced by the many megaliths and dolmens scattered around the region. In Roman times, the bay served as an important port for maritime trade, facilitating exchanges between Brittany and the rest of the Roman Empire. Remains from this period, such as coins and pottery, have been found during archaeological excavations, testifying to the intense commercial activity.
Medieval and Renaissance
In the Middle Ages, the Bay of Morlaix became a strategic point for the Dukes of Brittany. The Château du Taureau, originally built in the 16th century as a simple wooden watchtower, was transformed into a fortress under François I to defend against English attacks. This castle symbolises the power and strategic importance of the bay at that time, serving as a defence against invaders and as a prison at certain periods in its history.
The Modern Era
In the modern era, the Bay of Morlaix prospered thanks to its port, becoming a centre for shipbuilding and trade, particularly with the import of linen and tobacco. Carantec, meanwhile, became a popular destination in the late 19th century, when sea bathing became fashionable. Lavish villas were built along the coastline, welcoming the French and European elite who came to enjoy its mild climate and picturesque landscapes.
Carantec Today
Today, Carantec has retained its charm and elegance of yesteryear, while modernising to welcome visitors of the 21st century. The town and its surroundings offer a perfect blend of historic heritage and contemporary leisure, with activities ranging from water sports to discovering the local heritage.
