La Grande RocheLegend has it that when St. Guénolé, who lived on the south of the island,  and St. Gildas, who lived on the northern side fought with each other as to who should be in charge of the island they used to throw stones at each other across the breadth of Lampaul bay; the Grande Roche was the biggest one thrown during this conflict and now divides the island in two.
