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.

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.

Le bain douches is a restaurant located in the former municipal baths of Morlaix, which were built at the beginning of the 20th century in a Belle Époque style. The shower baths have been used for decades by the inhabitants of the city who did not have running water at home, and who came to do their weekly toilet. They closed in 1987, and were transformed into a restaurant in 1993 by Tony Pilon, a native of Morlais. The restaurant has retained most of the original elements of the place, such as the facade, the glass roof, the tiles, the doors and the sinks. It offers an atypical and warm atmosphere, as well as traditional French and European cuisine.

It is possible to climb to the first floor of the viaduct to enjoy a panoramic view of the city.
