Treguier maintains something of the air of a mediaeval meeting point. A crossroads at the confluence of the rivers Jaudy and Guindy. Where terrestrial trails bridge their fast flowing waters.
A place of ancient pilgrimage. To the cathedral originally founded by the Welsh monk Saint Tugdual. After fleeing sixth century persecution in his Celtic home land.
Its famous sky piercing perforated spire, a later addition, by pious eighteenth monks. Paid for by King Louis. Prior to the Revolution.
As a burgeoning crossroads town blossomed. Spilling down the slopes, of the hilltop, upon which the religious centre is set.
To the mellow meanders and rolling fields below. Their combination conjouring a singular air of serenity.
