At an altitude of 184 m, the Glomel trench is the highest point of the Nantes-Brest canal and the watershed between the Blavet and Aulne basins. The canal project and its passage through the center of Brittany dates back to Vauban, the decision and the route to Napoleon. The impressive trench allows the Aulne and Blavet watersheds to communicate via the canal. The Grande Trenche of the Canal from Nantes to Brest was dug in the 19th century by deserters from the army of Louis XVIII. The 4000 convicts of Glomel had to move as much earth and rock as was necessary for the construction of a great pyramid in Egypt. It took 9 years to create this trench, more than 3 kilometers long, 100 meters wide and 23 meters deep.

The neo-Gothic bell tower, a building of the 19th century, marks the Quintin landscape. The basilica was rebuilt in 1887 on the site of the old collegiate church. But it was in the 13th century that Lord Geoffroy I Botherel, returning from a crusade with the holy relic of the Belt of the Virgin, gave new impetus to this Marian site. This subject is illustrated in sculpture on the tympanum. To discover the gallery of reclining figures and the baptismal font, designed by Jeanne Malivel, a leading artist of Breton Art Deco. The church became a minor basilica in 1934. The great Pardon Notre-Dame-de-Délivrance takes place every year in May. Open every day. Nearby on the rue Notre-Dame, stop in front of the monumental fountain Notre-Dame-d'entre-les-Portes from the 15th century.
