Behind the Loctudy fish auction, the Alexis Le Gall Cannery Museum exhibits the memory and know-how of an industry that is emblematic of the Bigouden region.

From 1901 to 1954, sardine fishing was the lifeblood of the family canning factory. With its buildings, tools and collections still intact, the site is one of the few in Europe that can still bear witness to the maritime canning adventure of the last century. Where did the fish come from? How were the little metal cans produced? How did the workers and their families live? Guided or self-guided, the tour takes in the workshops and the owner. You'll discover sawdust bins, condiment presses, oiling tables, drying racks... and even the boss's office and the company safe! Throughout the year, the museum hosts a varied cultural programme of temporary exhibitions, meetings, lectures, screenings, storytelling tours and musical evenings.
