Departure from Roscoff and drive to Saint-Thégonnec via direct road

Saint-Thégonnec was once one of the Léon’s richest parishes. The enclosure here shows the permanent rivalry between neighboring parishes.

Two centuries of building competition resulted in wonderful architectural heritage: calvaries dating from the 16th century, triumphal arches, ossuary chapels, and more.

After the guided visit of Saint-Thégonnec, continue to Guimiliau and enjoy its famous calvary, with 200 sculptured characters.
