Tiny Locronan with its medieval, granite town center seems to have fallen out of time. No new buildings, no traffic signs or neon signs are a problem here, because nothing has changed since the 17th century. Not even the pavement. That's why there are no cars here - Locronan is a pedestrian zone. You park your vehicle in the large parking lot in front of the town, turn the corner and immerse yourself in the past.

Therefore, do not be surprised if a figure in a cloak and with a sword comes towards you. The small town has played a leading role several times as a filming location for historical hams. Above all, the large Church of St. Ronan with its mighty tower and monumental portal is a perfect stage set and a prime example of Breton late Gothic.

Many artisans have settled in the town itself and the restaurants and cafés are well attended. Often jugglers and musicians with historical instruments enliven the large square in front of the church. Locronan is a wonderful place for a short visit. But don't forget the spare memory card for your camera - you'll find endless gorgeous photo opportunities here.

The history of Locronan goes back over a thousand years. In the 5th century BC Celtic tribes lived in Brittany, and today some Locronan's festivals refer to cultic elements of this ancient Celtic origin. Above all, there is an extraordinary Christian festival, the great pilgrimage ("Grande Tromenie de Locronan", it took place e.g. in 2007), which takes place only every six years, the stations of which are associated with places from that time and the Celtic calendar.

Locronan has served as a backdrop in several historical films. You hardly have to change anything about the appearance of the place.
