Meneham, Coastal hamlet and open-air museum in Kerlouan, France
The restored village of Meneham sits among massive granite boulders on the northern coast of Brittany, featuring traditional thatched houses and historic buildings.
Originally built as a coastal guard post in the 18th century, Meneham later became home to customs officers before housing farmers and seaweed harvesters.
The village maintains local traditions through its artisan workshops, exhibitions, and regular cultural events that showcase Breton heritage and craftsmanship.
Visitors can explore the free museum in the Guard House, purchase local products at Maison Salou, and participate in guided tours throughout the year.
The village inhabitants historically combined three distinct occupations: farming, fishing, and seaweed harvesting, using specialized ovens to process seaweed for iodine extraction.
