Treguennec, St Vio (concrete factory)
AOK 7, KVA C1, KV.Gr. Quimper, KVU.Gr. Plogastel St Germain, Stp. Qu 34.

This very special location can be found near the beach at the village Treguennec, follow the main road towards the beach and the parking-place.

The factory itself is covered by a huge wall, partly made of concrete and for the rest sand/earth, several Vf. 4b Mg. bunkers and a 672 shelter for a PAK. The bunkers are connected to the wall and they are covering all the sides of the factory. Today all the bunkers and openings are firmly closed with rocks, steel plates and more. The silos of the factory are still in place, the sand and pebbles that could be found in close range of the factory were brought to the factory and so you would have an on-site production of concrete.

Types:
1x 672 Gun bunker I without annexes.
3x Vf4b MG casemate, bomb-proof.
1x Tobruk for mortar.
1x Concrete factory.

Treguennec, Loc'h ar Stang. (north-side factory)
AOK 7, KVA C1, KV.Gr. Quimper, KVU.Gr. Plogastel St Germain, Stp. Qu 31.

The important concrete factory was defended by two defence points, one in the south and the other on in the north. You can either walk from the factory (15min) or you can drive to the next parking-place which is 500m to the north.

The bunkers, a 501 personnel bunker, a 134 ammunition bunker, a 667 casemate, a Vf. 600 emplacement for a 5cm KwK and a small tobruk 58c are lying beautifully on the white sand of the bay.
We also discovered a strange object, 50m north of the bunkers; it looks like some sort of construction to dig sand out of the sea. That sand could then be transported to the factory, which makes very much sense because the sand was used by the Germans for their concrete.

Types:
1x 667 Small embrasured emplacement for 5cm tank gun.
1x 501 Group bunker.
1x 134 Ammunition bunker I.
1x Vf600v Gun 5cm KwK39.
1x Tobruk58c.
1x Sand extraction system.

Treguennec, Loc'h ar Stang. (south-side factory)
AOK 7, KVA C1, KV.Gr. Quimper, KVU.Gr. Plogastel St Germain, Stp. Qu 36.

This very special location can be found near the beach at the village Treguennec. Follow the main road towards the beach and the parking-place.
You will need to walk 15min from the concrete factory, over the beach towards the bunkers which lie nowadays in the middle of the beach (or water).

The important concrete factory at Treguennec was defended by two defence points, one in the south and the other on in the north. The bunkers, a 501 personnel bunker, a 134 ammunition bunker, a 667 casemate and a small tobruk 58c are lying beautifully on the white sand of the bay. They are handed over to the mercy of the sea, as you can see clearly.

Types:
1x 667 Small embrasured emplacement for 5cm tank gun.
1x 501 Group bunker.
1x 134 Ammunition bunker I.
1x Tobruk58c.
