Wedged between the Auray and Étel rivers, Ploemel has a rich history dating back to the Neolithic period. After being occupied by the Celts, the Venetians and the Romans, it was the Bretons who settled in this millenary land in the 7th century. From its past, Ploemel has kept an interesting and important architectural heritage, which will certainly win the hearts of lovers of old stones. As you walk through the narrow streets of this picturesque old town, you will have the opportunity to cross the road to the Chapel of Locmaria: built during the 14th century on the site of Locmaria, this chapel known for its engraved funeral slab is the oldest religious building in the municipality. A true sanctuary dedicated to sailors, the Chapelle de la Recouvrance not far from here also deserves a visit thanks to its superb 16th and 17th century wall paintings. The chapel of Saint-Cado, that of Saint-Méen, that of Saint-Laurent, the parish church of Saint-André and the many crosses in the village complete the picture of religious monuments to see during your visit to Ploemel.

Brittany would not be Brittany without its famous megaliths. Also, the Mané-Bogad gallery dolmen testifies to the very ancient occupation of Ploemel by man: built on a promontory, this dolmen takes place in the heart of a superb park, a favourite playground for children. Perfect for family walks around its lake and picnics in the shade of its trees, Mané-Bogad Park is one of the most popular destinations for your family stay. Take advantage of your visit to Ploemel to go to Carnac, located only 7 kilometres away: with almost as many inhabitants as dolmens and menhirs, Carnac, impressive and captivating, is one of the most proud of the Breton heritage.
