Carhaix Plouguer - Finistère

home > regions > Finistère > places of interest > Carhaix Plouguer

Carhaix Plouguer lies on the crossroads of several old Roman roads and is one of the strongholds of Breton traditions – there is a language and culture centre in the town.

The town’s most famous son, La Tour d’Auvergne, a soldier in Napoléon’s Grande Armée, was a respected scholar and wrote on the origins and grammar of Celtic languages, Breton in particular.

His life is celebrated in the town on the last Sunday in June and his statue stands in the main square.
