Site des Onze écluses

Highlight • Other

A series of 11 locks over a little more than 2 kilometers, roughly one every 200 meters, allows boats to overcome a 27-meter difference in elevation. It's a veritable aquatic elevator on the banks of the Ille-et-Rance Canal. The locks are still operated manually, and each one has its own lock keeper's house in the Napoleonic style.

Church of the Holy Trinity

Highlight • Religious Site

The current church was founded in the 20th century by Arthur Regnault as an extension of an 11th century church. The neo-Romanesque style building is decorated with a Finistère bell tower and numerous gables and domes. The interior is composed of a magnificent high altar in the form of a kiosk. The white stone arcades and balconies blend with the finesse of the gilding of the decor.
