La Lieue-de-Grève, a perilous crossing between brigands and deadly tides.

Since time immemorial, travellers travelling from Lannion to Morlaix crossed at low tide the great sandy expanse that sees the sea retreat almost two kilometres away, the Lieue-de-Grève. This crossing was subject to the danger of the tide, which rose "at the speed of a galloping horse" and that of the brigands. Woe to him who did not take care of the hours of the flow: many lost their lives there. The cross, immersed in the middle of the bay, was a precious landmark halfway through the crossing and a great comfort to the travellers. It is said that it was Efflam, the patron saint of Plestin, who planted this cross himself where his boat touched land. During the last war, the American landing ruined the cross, which was rebuilt and erected identically in 1993.
