Plouguiel: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Guindy and the Jaudy rivers meet in Plouguiel. Buildings and places of interest include the Saint-François footbridge, the Pont-aqueduc sur le Guindy and the Port de la Roche-Jaune.

Paths along the Guindy

The network of paths includes several circular routes with clearly designated starting points: the L’Estuaire hiking loop is 13 km long and begins in La Roche Jaune. The Seigneuries hiking loop measures 14 km and begins at the church. The Les Méandres hiking loop is 12 km long and begins in Saint François. The Ailes du Jaudy circular route covers 2 km, begins at the Pont Noir and serves as a connecting loop.

Along the Guindy, Plouguiel has also created a path designed to help visitors discover the architectural heritage and ecosystem of the estuary. The Chapelle de Kelomad is located near the Les Méandres du Guindy hiking trail.

Bridges and hydraulic engineering

The Saint-François footbridge was commissioned in 1834 as a suspension bridge. It crosses the Guindy and connects Plouguiel with Tréguier via a 49-metre-long bridge deck. Today, it forms part of a green cycling and walking route that connects Tréguier with Perros-Guirec.

The Pont-aqueduc sur le Guindy was built between 1610 and 1626 as part of a water supply system that carried water from Plouguiel to Tréguier. The structure consists of eight round-arch arcades and is located in the territory of Plouguiel and Minihy-Tréguier.

The Anse Saint-François owes its name to Franciscan monks who settled there in 1483 and remained there until the French Revolution.

Historic buildings

The Chapelle de Kelomad is a memorial chapel associated with a local victory over English occupying forces. In 1623, a calvary featuring a remarkable Descent from the Cross was added to it.

The Château de Keralio dates from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. Surrounded by moats, the château preserves a round tower with machicolations and a conical roof. Since 22 March 1930, it has been listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments.

Construction of the parish church of Notre-Dame de Plouguiel began on 25 August 1869. The building was blessed at Pentecost 1871 and consecrated on 5 October 1873.

Port de la Roche-Jaune

The Port de la Roche-Jaune is a small, typically Breton fishing and oyster port on the Jaudy. A white sandy beach lies there between the estuary and the port of Tréguier. The Belvédère at the Port de la Roche-Jaune can be reached via Rue « Casse-pattes », which passes charming Breton houses, and offers panoramic views.
