Beautifully done street sculpture. Why not position one of your friends in the peloton and grab a photo of them riding with Anquetil et al?

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.

Guerlesquin

Highlight • Other

At Guerlesquin, you have the feeling of being in central Brittany.

Like many neighboring villages, the art of Breton dancing is practiced there during Fez Noz, or night party or during Fez Deiz or day party. The village, in addition to its magnificent church dedicated to Saint Ténénan, is home to another granite monument that is found less frequently.

The Présidial - such is its name - is a former seigniorial prison. This building was built around 1640 by Vincent du Parc de Kerret, lord of the time. It's a curiosity now.
