Saint-Michel-De-Plélan: Golf, History and Cuisine

When planning your trip to Saint-Michel-De-Plélan, you may have several specific interests in mind: golf, a hike, historical details, and seasonal cuisine. The golf course and the hike raise different planning questions, while the house and church offer cultural details and L’Improbable adds a culinary option.

Golf and hiking

Golf de Dinan–La Corbinais is located at 2 bis La Corbinais, 22980 Saint-Michel-De-Plélan. The course has nine holes and measures 2,980 metres. The number of holes and the length describe two different aspects: the first figure indicates the size of the course, while the second gives its total length. If golf is important to your stay, you can compare these details with your own expectations for a course.

The “Balade à St-Michel-de-Plélan” hike starts at the golf course car park. This gives the route a specific starting point. Unlike the golf course, which is described by its number of holes and length, the hike is defined by where it begins. Check access conditions before setting out, as they may change.

Historical and religious details

A description updated on 12 January 2017 mentions the year 1598, a chalice, a host, and a missal on the façade of La Maison des Vallées. This list combines a date with religious objects, giving the house a specific cultural and historical connection.

La Maison des Vallées has belonged to an abbot since it was built. According to oral tradition, the house sheltered a non-juring priest during the French Revolution. The two accounts concern different aspects of its history: the first relates to ownership since the house was built, while the second describes a story passed down from the revolutionary period. The episode involving the priest is explicitly an oral tradition.

The church in Saint-Michel-De-Plélan also contains historical details: statues of Saint Michael and Saint Francis Xavier are housed there. While the Maison is described through details on its façade and historical accounts, the church is notable specifically for these two statues. Together with the chalice, host, and missal, they represent religious motifs as a distinct cultural and historical focus.

Cuisine and other offerings

L’Improbable serves creative local cuisine made with seasonal produce. The menu may change; if you are considering a restaurant visit during your stay, check the current offering in advance. This lets you take its seasonal approach into account when planning without counting on a particular dish.

The venue also includes a bookshop and an area with board games. Its appeal is not limited to its cuisine: reading and board games are other ways to enjoy what it offers. As the offerings may change, it is a good idea to check for current details before visiting.

L’Improbable runs cooking workshops that are open to everyone. If you are interested in a workshop, check in advance whether a date is available. Alongside serving food, the venue offers an opportunity to get hands-on with cooking. The restaurant, bookshop, games area, and workshops cater to different interests and provide specific ideas for planning your trip.
