Overview

About this route

1

Starting point: old station of Ploërmel (GPS coordinates: 02°24'26''O / 47°56'04''N) To see along the way:

  1. Ploërmel: founded in the 6th century by Saint Armel, the town prospered in the Middle Ages by becoming the residence of the Dukes of Brittany. You can visit the church of Saint Armel (15th and 16th century); the astronomical clock, the Carmelite cloister, the old town and its half-timbered houses.

  2. Le Vieux Bourg: originally, it was the first village of Taupont that controlled a ford on the river. The church of Saint Golven and its calvary have been listed as historical monuments since 1925. Inside, the large altar from the 17th century has obscured a stained-glass window.

  3. Loyat: it is the land of witches. A fountain on the moor of Tréguier testifies to this. The legend says that young people who went there to have fun at night could meet beautiful sorceresses and disappear forever.

  4. The manor of Lézonnet: the old feudal manor (now privately owned) is located facing the lake au duc. It still features a watchtower, an entrance, and a domestic chapel.
