Located at the westernmost point of Brittany, Finistère is an exceptional coastal department, boasting over 10% of the French coastline with its capes, bays, peninsulas, and rias. Its name, derived from the Saint-Mathieu abbey of Fine-Terre (“end of the world” in Latin), is now revisited with the slogan “Everything starts in Finistère,” evoking its Breton identity (“Penn-ar-Bed” means “top of the world”). Rich in a millennial history, from the Paleolithic period to Roman times and the revolts of the Bonnets Rouges, Finistère offers a landscape shaped by the Armorican Massif, with coastal rivers and a temperate oceanic climate. It is also marked by a rich industrial past, particularly in textiles and maritime industries.Wikipedia
