This viaduct, which is important for the railway connection Paris - Brest, is a distinctive feature of the cityscape of Morlaix.

The town of Morlaix is dominated by a railway viaduct that is over 50 m high and 258 m long and can be seen from far away. It was built in 1864 to create the railway connection between Paris and Brest. At the time, many buildings had to be demolished for this project. During the Second World War, Allied bombers were supposed to bomb the viaduct, but missed their target and caused great damage to the town. The viaduct can be crossed on foot on the first floor.

Morlaix is an old medieval town, which seduces with its cobbled streets, its half-timbered houses and its imposing viaduct. Nestled between history and modernity, it offers a picturesque atmosphere.

This small village is a great place to stop if you're riding the Eurovelo. There you will find picnic tables, beautiful views of the boats moored on the river and even toilets. It is approximately halfway between Saint-Pol-de-Léon and Morlaix.

Half-timbered houses from the first quarter of the 16th century, the houses in Pondalez are astonishing with their architecture and the imposing spiral staircase which supports the “alley bridges” (like footbridges). Two Morlaisian houses, witnesses of this flourishing era, are open to the public: the Maison à Pondalez at 9 Grand Rue and the Maison known as the Duchess Anne, rue du Mur.

The Morlaix viaduct is a railway structure, of the viaduct type, located in the city of Morlaix which allows the crossing of the Morlaix river and the service to the city station by the line from Paris-Montparnasse to Brest. On January 29, 1943, as part of Allied strategic bombing, eight American Boston fighter-bombers of the Royal Air Force dropped 43 bombs, accidentally killing eighty residents. A single bomb damaged the viaduct which was quickly repaired.

Departure from the last stage of the Vélodyssée EV1 cycle route in France, to the Roscoff ferry to England. The start of town along the picturesque waterfront and the road is tight but at least marked with lines, and cars are limited to 30 mph with large signs and surface paint. Further on, it becomes quite pleasant.
