Croix celtique de Bestrée

Croix celtique de Bestrée, Celtic cross in Bestrée, Plogoff, France

The Croix celtique de Bestrée is a granite Celtic cross made in 2000 by Gildas Castrec. Its ringed head has a central boss and four small panels: two fish at the top, a stoat on the left, a snake on the right, and a low relief below. The shaft shows a sailing boat, two standing figures, and a low relief; an inscription is carved on the stepped base.

The cross was made in 2000 by Gildas Castrec, carved from granite. It stands in front of the remains of a historic tower now used as a viewpoint, beside the footpath leading to the Pointe du Raz. Its carved panels and Breton inscription were added by the sculptor as a modern tribute to the cape.

The cross was carved in 2000 by Gildas Castrec. Its panels carry Breton symbols: two fish for the sea and Christianity, a stoat for purity and Brittany, a snake for knowledge, a fishing boat for the region's fisheries, and Breton musicians. The base inscription in Breton reads "Pen ar Bed" (End of the World), naming the western end of Europe and symbolising Finistère.

This monument is accessible via a coastal path near Pointe du Raz, combining history with natural scenery in a single visit. The location sits on an exposed, windy coastal area, so visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions.

The cross was carved in 2000 by Gildas Castrec, not in the Middle Ages. Its arms hold Kersantit panels: two fish at the top, a stoat on the left, a snake on the right. The base inscription, in Breton, reads "Pen ar Bed" — the end of the world, a name for Finistère.
