The Ecomuseum

Located since 1984  in the first tuna cannery, the Groix Ecomuseum presents a panorama of the island’s history, mainly through donations from the islanders. Mineralogy, archaeology, fishing, but also culture, family and social life, washhouses, bistros, etc. all testimony to what makes this island so unique. The ecomuseum is a must to understand the special nature of island life over the centuries. Heading up towards the town, you can admire the tall houses which were the pride of the boatowners and fishing bosses. Pass in front of “Ty Beudeff” and take a look: this bistro is a symbolic place on the island where sailors got together to tell their sea stories and sing sea shanties.
