Saint James Chapel

Highlight • Other

The apostle "Saint-JACQUES", to whom this chapel in Ploubazlanec was dedicated, belongs, together with his brother, to the closest circle of Jesus' disciples. In his version of the "Good News" (this is the meaning of the word "gospel"), the evangelist Mark lists the apostles: "James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James - to whom he gave the nickname Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder" (Mark 3:17). They are said to have been very temperamental, but were loyal followers of Jesus Christ because they recognized in him the promised Messiah. According to the Acts of the Apostles written by the evangelist Luke, James was executed for his faith, making him an early martyr of Christianity. His grave in the place named after him, "Santiago de Compostela" (Galicia, Spain), is one of the most famous and important pilgrimage destinations in the world.

Loguivy-de-la-mer

Highlight • Structure

Loguivy-de-la-mer is a pretty, typically Breton fishing port, relaxing for some, inspiring for others. François Budet, an eminent Breton poet, sang music about him that became an anthem for the region:

“Loguivy-de-la-mer, Loguivy de la mer
You watch the last true sailors die
Loguivy-de-la-mer, at the bottom of your old port
The carcasses of already dead boats are piled up.”

Paimpol

Highlight • Settlement

Made famous by the writings of Pierre Lotti (Icelandic Fisherman published in 1886), Paimpol is a vast fishing port mixed with the idleness of a pretty marina. In the center of the town, houses dating from the 16th century remain and bring a beautiful character to the town.

Ideally located on the customs path (GR 34), the town has numerous shops and services capable of satisfying all budgets. A railway station is served daily by trains from Guingamp.
