Émetteur de Roc'h Trédudon

Émetteur de Roc'h Trédudon is a transmission tower in Plounéour-Ménez that rises 225 meters (738 feet) above ground, reaching a total elevation of 603 meters (1,978 feet) at its tip. The facility broadcasts digital television signals and radio programs covering most of the Finistère department and parts of neighboring areas.

The tower was built in 1961 and required complete reconstruction in 1975 following a destructive attack that disrupted local broadcasts. The rebuild reinforced its role as a vital infrastructure for the region's communications network.

The tower serves as a key broadcasting hub for the region's radio stations and has become a recognizable landmark in the Breton landscape. Locals and travelers often notice its distinctive silhouette against the sky when crossing the highlands.

The tower is positioned on elevated terrain and is best viewed from the surrounding roads and paths in the area. As an active broadcasting facility, the site itself is not open to public access.

Radio signals from this tower unexpectedly reach parts of southwestern England due to its high elevation and clear line of sight across the sea. This extended coverage is a result of the location's advantageous position on the landscape.
