Finistère sits at the very westernmost point of Brittany, where the English Channel meets the Atlantic, and takes its name from the Latin for land's end. Brest airport and a good road network keep the department connected despite its position at the edge of France. Deeply rooted in maritime and Breton history, Finistère is home to Quimper, a picturesque cathedral city known for its traditional pottery, and to Locronan, a granite village listed among the most beautiful in France. Away from these headline attractions, buyers will find sandy beaches and rocky coves often compared to Cornwall, and the dramatic headland of the Pointe du Raz. Finistère is also noted for its space, with a population density lower than many rural parts of England, meaning buyers tend to get more land and room for their budget. A mild, maritime climate brings cool summers and gentle winters. Property here ranges from a stone farmhouse inland, a fisherman's cottage in a harbour town or a coastal property with sea views, Finistère offers real variety. With coastline, heritage and space, it remains one of Brittany's most rewarding departments for buyers. Houses in Finistère currently average €2,093/m².
