The Oratoire de St Guirec is situated on the beach named after St Guirec, the Welsh monk who landed here on his voyage from Britain in the 6th century, allegedly arriving in a stone trough pulled by angels. The original wooden statue has been replaced by one of stone, after becoming damaged by the local tradition for girls to stick a pin in its nose when they wanted to marry.
