The legend of Saint-Lunaire
In the year 535, a Welsh monk named Léonor, the future Saint Lunaire, landed at Pointe du Décollé, where a commemorative cross now stands. It is said that to reach this spot, he cut through the thick fog with his sword… Today, Saint Lunaire’s tomb effigy is visible inside the Old Church, located in the town center. The church is open for visits from Easter to All Saints’ Day. There, you can admire one of the finest collections of tomb effigies in Brittany, housed in a lovely Romanesque church.
