Pluvigner: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Pluvigner combines paths through the municipality’s countryside with a diverse collection of churches, chapels, crosses, calvaries, washhouses and fountains. Archaeological traces, historic buildings, riding lessons and a regularly held food market add further tangible facets to the character of the town.

Paths through the Countryside and Villages

Pluvigner offers two walking routes through the municipality’s countryside. The Circuit de Saint-Guénaël is 8.4 km long and takes around two hours. The circular route is easy, marked in yellow and accessible all year round.

The Circuit de Saint-Trémeur is a 10 km hiking trail of moderate difficulty, for which around two and a half hours should be allowed. It is also marked in yellow and accessible all year round. Its route passes the archaeological site Site archéologique du Talhouët and follows paths along rivers and through villages in Pluvigner.

The circular route Circuit Le bourg et ses lavoirs is designed as an easy walk. It runs along sunken lanes and leads to the washhouses of Pluvigner and to the Eglise Saint-Guigner. The Centre équestre de Pluvigner offers riding lessons all year round for all levels, for children aged six and over and for adults.

Archaeological Traces

The archaeological site Site archéologique du Talhouët comprises the remains of a Gallic settlement and two older burial sites. Information panels are available on site.

Churches and Chapels

Pluvigner has 12 public religious buildings. Their different periods of construction and rebuilding make it possible to trace the development of architectural styles. The parish church of Saint-Guigner dates essentially from the 16th century; a roof beam in the northern part of the building bears the date 1545. The church is listed as a Monument historique. Its stained-glass windows depict events from the lives of important figures from the parish, including Saint-Guigner, Saint-Guénaël and the penitent Kériolet.

The Chapelle de la Sainte-Trinité is predominantly a building from the early 16th century. Elements of the original roof structure have survived, and numerous decorated roof beams adorn the interior. In the Chapelle Saint-Fiacre, the date 1453 is carved into the southern transept arm. The furnishings also include a polychrome wooden high altar and two wooden niches containing a Vierge de la médaille miraculeuse and a Vierge à l’Enfant.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame de Miséricorde was built in 1600 and combines features of Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance architecture. It houses an 18th-century altarpiece and a gallery or rood screen dated 1623, depicting twelve carved apostles. The Eglise Saint-Bieuzy stands on a hillside overlooking the village; its southern façade bears the date 1593. The Chapelle Saint-Guénaël consists of six bays.

Crosses, Washhouses and Local History

More than 20 crosses and calvaries have been recorded in Pluvigner’s public spaces. The municipality also has around 15 washhouses and fountains. Most of these monuments are associated with a chapel and are therefore located near religious buildings.

Since January 2010, Pluvigner Patrimoines has invited everyone, free of charge and without registration, on the third Sunday of each month to discover architecture, historical events or places under the title “Entre 10 et 12”.

Market in Pluvigner

Pluvigner’s weekly food market takes place every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Parvis du StanG in Pluvigner, from January 3, 2026, to January 2, 2027.
