Saint-Pol-de-Léon, Coastal commune in Finistère, France.

The town extends along the English Channel coast, featuring a medieval cathedral and the Kreisker Chapel with its 77-meter-tall stone spire.

The settlement gained prominence in the Middle Ages as an episcopal seat, with Saint Paul Aurelian establishing the first religious community in the 6th century.

The local population maintains strong ties to Breton traditions through bilingual education programs and regular cultural festivals celebrating regional heritage.

The town serves as an administrative center for 14 surrounding municipalities and functions as a primary agricultural distribution hub for northern Finistère.

The Sainte-Anne islet, connected to the mainland by a natural causeway, contains remnants of ancient fortifications that protected the bay.
