Place de la Tour d'Auvergne

Highlight • Historical Site

On this square in La Tour-d’Auvergne in Carhaix, the convent of the Hospitallers once stood. The Notre-Dame des Grâces chapel, located near the Post Office, is the last vestige. Victim in 1875 of a fire which almost destroyed it, the hospital was definitively abandoned in 1920 and its ruins were completely leveled. Probably used as a fairground since the Middle Ages, this ancient square adjoined the moat of the Carhaix castle. It was in 1841 that the bronze statue executed by the sculptor Charles Marochetti of Théophile Malo Corret de La-Tour-d'Auvergne was erected. This place was also called Martroy or Martret, a term which means market in old French. It therefore logically had to fulfill this function. Logical, given its location in the city.

Stone Arch Bridge on the Nantes–Brest Canal

Highlight • Bridge

Small bridge whose arc forms a semicircle, and whose reflection perfectly completes the circle. A beautiful shot to take along the Vélodyssée greenway.
