On weekends, the Lakeside Langoëlan bar is worth a detour—or rather, the approach to Langoëlan is even nicer than by road. It has a different name on Maps.

Completed in the 16th century in the Gothic style, the church features Romanesque vaults, testifying to an older building. Outside, opening onto the porch, the 16th-century ossuary is distinguished by its three elegant basket-handle arches, resting on charming molded columns. Upon entering the church, one immediately sees the blue vault, a symbol of the sky in Romanesque art. The decoration continues with the polychrome wooden sablières, displaying scenes of hunting and everyday life.

Built in the 17th century, the building was destroyed by lightning on March 5, 1959. It had a Latin cross plan finished with three-sided gables at the choir and transepts. The new church dates from 1962. Materials from the old building were reused as much as possible for its construction. It was reoriented so that its main facade aligned with the town square. Its general shape remains that of a Latin cross. The bell tower stands outside the building. It is composed of a square granite tower, topped with a balustrade, an openwork polygonal drum, and a thin slate spire. Since 2006, the church has housed a monumental fresco: The Washing of the Feet (oil on canvas, 4 m x 6 m), the work of Yannig Guillevic. Near the church stands the cross from the old cemetery, whose four sculpted sides depict scenes from the life of Christ: his baptism, his arrest in the Garden of Olives, his flagellation, and the carrying of the cross. For those with a sweet tooth, the Pâtisseries Gourmandes shop in Saint-Tugdual is a must-visit. It offers a wide range of Breton specialties such as madeleines, pound cakes, galettes, and biscuits, all at very attractive prices.

Labeled "Commune du patrimoine rural de Bretagne", this commune is endowed with an important architectural and historical heritage of great value such as churches, chapels, fountains, castles and manors and remarkable villages in the town as well as in the Ploërdutaise countryside. In the town, there is the church dedicated to Saint Idult in the 11th century and subsequently dedicated to Saint Pierre in the 15th century. It is one of the rare examples of Romanesque art in Brittany. From the outside, the church in the shape of a Latin cross displays a length that seems disproportionate to the squat silhouette of the bell tower pierced on each side by small loophole windows. Inside the south porch, near the ossuary, sandpits are carved with crocodile heads. Ask for the keys at the Town Hall to enter.

Found by accident ! Tiny place whose name I cannot recall, but was pretty full of locals enjoying a meal and chat when I stumbled in abou 1300 on a Mon. You can enjoy a plat du jour with coffee afterwards for about 12,50 EUR, and wine/cidre seem inexpensive. In and out in <20 mins if that is your choice or linger longer if you prefer.

Here the canal meanders through the landscape.

Yes - a very beautiful lock keeper's house. We were able to take a relaxing break here! Someone has invested a lot of love and time here and turned it into a gem. 💎

Beautiful lock and vintage car
