From the Pays Vannetais to Cornwall and the Pays de l'Aven.

In Quimperlé, l'Isole joins l'Ellé to form the Laïta which flows into the Atlantic at Guidel. The lower town is often affected by floods due to these rivers. The heritage of Quimperlé is important, but we will also have the opportunity to pass by many chapels scattered in the countryside.

    St Colomban Church of Quimperlé

    Attested at least since the 11th century, the church of St Colomban was the former parish church of the Lower Town. The only remains currently in place, the west façade and part of the north elevation of the former choir, bear the traces of several construction periods. Abandoned since 1792 in favour of the Sainte-Croix church, which became the parish capital, the building quickly fell into ruins.
    The new parish of St Colomban was created on 01 September 2017. It is composed of the former parishes of Nizon, Pont-Aven, Névez, Riec-sur-Bélon, Moëlan-sur-Mer, Clohars-Carnoët, Bannalec, Saint-Thurien, Scaër, Baye, Mellac, Le Trévoux, Quimperlé, Arzano, Guilligomarc'h, Rédéné, Trémeven, Locunolé and Querrien grouped into three local Christian communities.
