Places to see in ( Quimper - France ) Locronan
Locronan is a very impressive and unspoiled Brittany village and certainly one of our personal favourite villages in France. Officially one of the 'most beautiful villages of France', it is 15 kilometres north-west of Quimper in the Finistere department of western Brittany.
With a history that goes back more than 2000 years, Locronan was originally a sacred place for the celts known as a 'nemeton'. It then became an important religious centre during the middle ages, and an important centre for the manufacture of sail-cloth for the local ship-building industry during the 16th and 17th centuries. Each of these epoques has left its mark on the town and region which is of course now better known as a popular tourist destination.
The whole centre of Locronan is extremely well preserved and quite extensive, and largely built in the distinctive local granite. The solid houses with traditional slate rooves are interspersed with plenty of greenery, making for a very attractive village. Park in the main car park and enter the village by walking along the straight street that leads from here to the centre of the village (some cars had driven into the centre of Locronan when we visited but you are only saving about 100 metres of walking by doing this and cars do little to help make the village look medieval)
There are a traditional granite houses and a few restaurants and shops along this street and the village church is straight ahead of you. You quickly reach the cobbled Place de l'Eglise: from this square you can easily reach all the highlights in the village and explore the surrounding streets.
The Place de l'Eglise is a large, attractive square entirely paved and surrounded on all sides by very well preserved ancient buildings, with the substantial vaulted church the most imposing among them. Almost all the houses date from the 17th and 18th centuries and are different heights and have small architectural highlights and characterful roofs that make them interesting, and there is an ancient well in the centre of the square.
There are lots of villages in France we describe as having 'well preserved medieval squares'. Locronan is certainly among the most impressive of them, and Monpazier in the Dordogne is another. Take the time to explore in and around the Church of Saint Ronan that dates from the 15th century and the almost separate building on the right side of the church that was built to hold the tomb of Saint-Ronan and has a tall thin spire-belltower.
In the interior of the church there is an intricate altar, numerous stained glass windows, carved reliefs and medieval religious statues of painted wood: the 'pieta' of the Virgin and dead Christ and the statue of Saint Ronan are among the most interesting. Behind the church there is also an attractive small cemetery and a small garden area which you should take a stroll around.
There are also a few small shops and cafes around the square. From here it is easy to explore the rest of centre of the village as streets depart in all directions: to the left of the church follow the loop formed by Rue des Charrettes and Rue du Four and opposite stroll along the narrow road called Venelle Toul Prichen.

✔ EXPLORE:
Paimpont is situated in central Brittany, about 40 kilometres west of Rennes and a 2hour drive from Nantes, surrounded by the Paimpont Forest, which is part of the Forest of Broceliande - the last remaining part of the ancient forests that once covered Brittany.
Because of the age of the forest it has become associated with various legends including the claim that it was the home of King Arthur and the wizard Merlin. Several marked paths lead through the forest, to places with exotic names such as 'Merlin's Tomb', 'Merlin's spring' and the 'Valley of no Return' (where Merlin's sister trapped unfaithful young men, and the last place that Merlin himself was seen). If you search hard you could also perhaps find the 'fountain of eternal youth'.
Great place to add to your trip if your in Brittany or Near Nantes.

Metz video - Lorraine Tourisme - Frankrijk - NL
Metz, Lorraine, een video gemaakt door Lorraine Tourisme i.s.m. Prodaction.
De tijdens de Duitse annexatie gebouwde Temple Neuf en treinstation, de kathedraal Saint-Etienne, de Porte des Allemands, renaissance- en middeleeuwse wijken, Metz getuigt van meer dan 3.000 jaar geschiedenis. De hoofdstad van Lorraine straalt tegelijk ook iets zeer eigentijds uit, zoals Centre Pompidou-Metz waar jaarlijks diverse unieke tijdelijke exposities georganiseerd worden in het kader van de moderne en de hedendaagse kunst.
Metz is een bruisende stad waar het goed toeven is dankzij de plantsoenen, de twee rivieren die de stad doorkruisen (Moezel en Seille) en de grote voetgangerszone in het centrum.
Aan feestelijke evenementen geen gebrek in Metz: Mirabellenfeesten, kerstmarkten (de een na grootste Frankrijk)…
