Finistère’s identity is closely tied to its know-how, or ‘savoir-faire’ in French. It’s an invaluable living heritage, and many of our businesses are committed to preserving it and keeping it alive through unique products and mastery of their craft. These artisanal and industrial companies are defending ancestral savoir-faire that’s been handed down through generations, whilst also working to develop it for the future.
Come and discover the companies and producers that make up the identity of Finistère!
Chocolate factories, cider producers, oyster farms, bakeries, breweries, canneries, biscuit factories, distilleries and more: you’re spoilt for choice here! Each business has its own story to tell about how their expertise, traditional techniques or innovation has brought about their success and carried their name throughout Finistère and far beyond. Many of these companies are also open to visitors, either all year round or during one-off events, particularly through the network Secrets de nos boîtes (secrets of our businesses).
Finistère’s know-how is also reflected in its land and its products, which are an integral part of its heritage. Crêpes, kouign-amann pastries, Plougastel strawberries, Roscoff onions, Baye andouille sausages and fresh seafood are just some of the products and dishes that help Finistère to shine. Local markets give you the chance to discover the 1,001 flavours of the region by browsing the stalls, meeting the producers and tasting their products and specialities.
