Discover Trémorel

Trémorel offers three different starting points for planning your trip: the Voie Verte walking trail, historic grain mills and the traditional Pardon de Notre-Dame des Treize-Chênes. If you’re looking for a hotel in Trémorel, you can plan your stay around the main focus of your trip.

Walking the Voie Verte

The Voie Verte walking trail passes through Trémorel and runs for more than 6 km through the commune. For planning your stages, check the precise route length using local route information. Trail conditions and signage can change, so check the latest updates for both before setting out. This allows you to take both the length and the trail conditions into account when planning.

The Voie Verte follows the route of the former Loudéac–Saint-Méen-le-Grand railway line. Today it is used as a walking trail, and its route follows that former rail connection. For anyone interested in transport and engineering history, it brings together two periods of use: the former railway connection and today’s walking trail.

Mills and historic technology

The Dom Pierre flour mill was built in 1809. In 1855, it had two pairs of millstones powered by two vertical waterwheels with paddles. The construction date and technical equipment therefore belong to different points in history. A pair of millstones consists of two stones between which grain is ground; the paddle wheels describe how the mill was powered by water. The mill is a restored former industrial building in private ownership. Bear this in mind when planning a visit and check access arrangements in advance.

The Rosaie flour mill was powered by two vertical waterwheels with paddles in 1855. It has been fully restored and still has its millrace. The surviving millrace adds another element of water use to the details of the historic power system. The mills have different points of interest for comparison: at Dom Pierre, there are also two pairs of millstones in addition to the power system; at Rosaie, the surviving millrace is another technical feature.

The September Pardon

The Pardon de Notre-Dame des Treize-Chênes traditionally takes place on the first Sunday in September. If you would like to plan your stay around this religious observance, check the plans for the specific year in advance and coordinate your travel dates accordingly. The traditional date provides a guide to when to travel; the local programme for that year is also important for your planning.

These three themes offer different starting points for planning your trip: for a walk, current trail conditions are important, while a stay for the Pardon depends on the programme for that year. The mills offer a historical focus, with their construction dates, power systems and surviving features. You can therefore choose a hotel in Trémorel based on your main interest.
