Plussulien: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

In Plussulien, Quelfénec was exploited for the extraction of dolerite during the Neolithic period; polished axes and adzes were made from the rock. The Neolithic site reaches almost 310 metres and lies at the centre of a ridge line between Laniscat and Merléac.

Landscape and archaeology

Quelfénec includes native deciduous forests, grazed meadows, bocage lanes and fallow land. Thirteen bat species have been recorded on the site.

The Quelfénec dolerite outcrop is accessible to walkers all year round. The route at the Neolithic site begins at the site’s car park in 22320 Plussulien.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de Sélédin was built according to a plan in the shape of a Latin cross, with a bell gable. It was destroyed during the Breton Wars of Succession and rebuilt in 1392 and 1640.
