Treguier - founded by Saint Tudwal

Saturday – A leisurely start today, not too early. Breakfast of porridge and left over baguette with sliced meat. Today just a short drive to “Treguier” another wonderful town with its roots in the sixth century. This town has not been blemished with modern construction, and Middle Ages wood and stone buildings still abound. Our first sightseeing call was to the cathedral a place which presented a feeling of peace and contemplation. We walked around for an hour and found a small creperie for lunch where we had a tasty meal washed down with local cider. Our efforts to find some of the local sights such as the cloister were not rewarded, everything was closed but at best it was a nice day with no rain and a bit of sunshine. On the way home we stopped at a large shop dealing in local produce, but it was expensive with a small tin of sardines selling at €6.25 (or AU$10.25). Tonight, we prepack for tomorrows departure.

Tréguier (Trecorum), which dates from the sixth century, grew up round a monastery founded by Saint Tudwal (died c. 564). In the 9th century it became the seat of a bishopric, suppressed on July 12, 1790 (decree of November 14, 1789).Read more
