Plouézec (French pronunciation: [pluezɛk]; Breton: Ploueg-ar-Mor) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in northwestern France. It has 17 km of rugged coastline that makes it a tourist destination all year round, with beaches such as Bréhec and Pors Pin. Plouézec is twinned with the Irish town of Ballinamore and the twinning committee hosts a Fest Noz festival every August around the Moulin de Craca which regularly draws thousands of visitors. There is traditional Irish and Breton music, as well as food and drink available. Especially popular is the famous moules-frites, which is a dish of mussels and French fries. It has been strongly influenced by the sea and local people often refer to themselves as enfants de la mer (children of the sea). Water-based sports such as fishing, sailing, and swimming are very popular and are practised by locals and tourists alike.

Moulin de Craca

Moulin de Craca is a windmill in Plouézec, Côtes-d'Armor, France. First working in 1844 it was restored from 1995. It is popular amongst both locals and tourists because of its location on top of a cliff overlooking Port Lazo. Every August the Plouézec-Ballinamore twinning committee organises Noz Ar Vilin Fest Noz around the windmill. There is a selection of Breton and Irish music and dancing, as well as local cuisine and drinks. Amongst the specialities are Moules-Frites (Mussels and chips), Crêpes, Galettes, Breton cider, and Chouchen. After falling into disrepair, the windmill was restored in 1993. It now contains fully operational, working replica machinery.
