Plémy: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Plémy is crossed by a distinctive geographical line: the watershed between the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean runs from east to west through the town. The landscape is characterised by hills and valleys.

Culture and history

The preserved complex of the Manoir du Vauclair includes an interior chapel dating from the 16th century. The chapel’s Gothic door has been protected as a historic monument since 1926. Historically, the Vauclair lordship was also dependent on the Châtellenie of Moncontour and held numerous properties in the surrounding municipalities.

A vivid testimony to the local history of milling is the historic Moulin à farine du Bas Drény. It has two preserved waterwheels, each driving a pair of millstones. In the Middle Ages, the mill was dependent on Moncontour Abbey; in 1848, it produced rye flour, oat flour and buckwheat flour.

The Croix de la Belle Place is a wayside cross from the 15th century in Plémy. The flat sculpture depicts a crowned Virgin with her child; on the opposite side, Christ is shown on the cross. The Grand Menhir, also called the Menhir de la Roche longue, also stands at Haut Dreny, on the edge of a path. It is 3.95 metres high.

The festivities for the Saint-Laurent-Pardon take place every year on the first or second Sunday in August in the chapel of the Saint-Laurent district in Plémy. They include a communal seated meal, Breton music and dancing, as well as short historical films about the village.
