Carhaix-Plouguer (/kaʁɛ pluɡɛʁ/Note 1), commonly called Carhaix, is known to be one of the most flourishing cities of Gallo-Roman Armorica during Antiquity, then bearing the name Vorgium (Latin name of the capital of the Gallic and then Gallo-Roman people of the Osismes). It is today known for hosting, since 1992, the Vieilles Charrues festival, one of the main music festivals in Europe.

On this square in La Tour-d’Auvergne in Carhaix, the convent of the Hospitallers once stood. The Notre-Dame des Grâces chapel, located near the Post Office, is the last vestige. Victim in 1875 of a fire which almost destroyed it, the hospital was definitively abandoned in 1920 and its ruins were completely leveled. Probably used as a fairground since the Middle Ages, this ancient square adjoined the moat of the Carhaix castle. It was in 1841 that the bronze statue executed by the sculptor Charles Marochetti of Théophile Malo Corret de La-Tour-d'Auvergne was erected. This place was also called Martroy or Martret, a term which means market in old French. It therefore logically had to fulfill this function. Logical, given its location in the city.

Bathed by the Alder, the town of Châteauneuf-du-Faou is an ideal stopover on the Nantes-Brest canal. Below, a campsite and a bistro await you. If you want more, you can always tackle the steep climb that brings you downtown. The shops are more numerous there and, on Thursday afternoon, the weekly market is held there.

This huge church is particularly eye-catching, lying in the heart of Carhaix. You can pause here to admire it's twin doors and fantastic architecture.
