Art under the viaduct

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

The apostle "Saint-JACQUES", to whom this church in Locquirec was dedicated, belongs, together with his brother, to the inner circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the nickname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ because they recognized in him the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles written by the evangelist Luke, James was executed for his faith, making him an early martyr of Christianity. His grave in the place named after him, "Santiago de Compostela" (Galicia, Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

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.

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.
