Discover Ploumagoar

Ploumagoar offers a variety of themes for your trip: trails through woodland, art in the Bois de Kergré, and architectural and local history. You can decide which of these aspects you’d like to explore by visiting specific places. Nature, permanently installed artworks, historic buildings and contemporary exhibitions each add their own distinctive touch.

Forest Trails and Small Heritage Sites

The Bois de Kergré is a municipal woodland covering around five hectares. Since 2011, it has had a walking trail that is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Check the specific conditions on site before your visit. The Bois de Kergré also has a 1.3 km interpretation trail featuring permanently installed works by professional artists. This woodland brings nature and artistic interpretation together.

The Circuit de la Hulotte offers a different focus. The route passes through a landscape where visitors can discover fauna, flora and small heritage sites. These include a bread oven, a fountain and a washhouse in St-Hernin. If you’d like a route that takes in historic traces as well as nature, the Circuit de la Hulotte offers a distinct way to explore them. The Bois de Kergré, with its permanently installed artworks, offers a different experience.

Church, Chapel and Architectural History

The Church of Saint-Pierre was built by Anfray between 1778 and 1788. Its bell tower was later rebuilt in 1852, and the church was restored in 1933. One detail also reveals something about its earlier architectural history: the baptismal font is octagonal, with a face carved on each side. It is probably a remnant of the earlier church.

The Chapel of Sainte-Brigitte also contains traces of an older building: it incorporates elements from a former 15th-century chapel. At Saint-Pierre, the building, rebuilding and restoration are marked by specific dates; at Sainte-Brigitte, the focus is on elements retained from the earlier chapel. Together, these buildings offer different starting points for exploring local architectural history.

Exhibitions and Local Remembrance

PloumExpo hosts exhibitions by contemporary visual artists, including painting, sculpture, photography and video. Visitors can meet artists and discover their work. Workshops open to everyone are also part of the programme; whether and when they take place depends on the schedule. As the exhibition programme changes, it’s best to check which exhibition and workshops are on during your visit.

The Fosse de Malaunay is an important local memorial site associated with a defining event of the Second World War. In July 1944, twenty bodies were discovered there. This site offers a sobering historical perspective alongside Ploumagoar’s buildings and art exhibitions.

An Event in November

Ploumagoar’s Christmas market is scheduled for 27 and 28 November 2026. Numerous local craftspeople are expected to exhibit their unique creations there. If you’re planning your trip around the market, check the date and programme details in advance, as they may vary from year to year.
