The Aber Benoît (Breton Aber Benniged ) is a river in France that runs in the Finistère department in the Bretagne region and forms a ria over several kilometers at its mouth . The Aber rises in the municipality of Saint-Divy north of the Rade de Brest , drains in a north-westerly direction and flows into the English Channel after 31 kilometers between Saint-Pabu and Landéda . In the estuary, the Aber Benoît is already influenced by the tides . This section is around 12 km long and has a surface of 174 km². The estuary forms the border between the cantons of Ploudalmézeau and Lannilis . In its course it divides the Pays de Léon into the Haut Léon (east) and the Bas Léon (west). Together with the Aber Ildut and the Aber Wrac'h , the Aber is the namesake for the Côte des Abers .
