Discover Tourch

Tourch brings together several distinct themes for planning a trip: religious buildings, the Château de Coatheloret, an annual commemorative event, a route with a botanical discovery trail and the Aven River. This variety helps you tailor your stay to your interests. If you are looking for a hotel in Tourch, first consider whether architectural history, nature or a particular event will shape your travel dates.

Churches, Chapels and Historic Sites

The Chapelle de Locunduff is dedicated to Saint Candide, dates from the 16th century and bears the coat of arms of the Canaber family. A monolithic granite cross stands beside it. Its dedication, the family coat of arms and the adjacent cross are three distinct details to explore when learning about the chapel.

The Gothic Church of Saint-Cornély was built in the late 15th century; the Chapelle de Locunduff dates from the 16th century. This makes it possible to compare the dates of the two religious buildings. Construction period and architectural style are different aspects: the late 15th century indicates when the church was built, while “Gothic” describes its style. The church and its surrounding enclosure have been listed in the inventory of historic monuments since 1944.

Another historic site in Tourc'h is the Château de Coatheloret. The Quillien stele offers a different focus: a memorial event commemorating the Resistance is held there every year. The historical picture thus encompasses both named sites and a recurring commemorative event.

The River and the Circuit de Locunduff

Tourch borders the Aven River. The Circuit de Locunduff starts at the Chapelle de Locunduff and includes the Bois Daniel botanical discovery trail. The route thus connects a chapel with a botanical theme. If you would like to include both architectural history and nature in your trip, you can make the circuit a focus in its own right alongside the churches and memorial sites.

The river and the route offer different ways to plan your trip: the Aven is the local connection to the river, while the circuit is a route featuring a botanical discovery trail. You can decide whether to focus more on the riverside landscape or the route’s botanical theme.

Annual Events in Tourch

The Fête du sanglier is held every July around the Chapelle Sainte-Candide de Locunduff and its fountain. If you are travelling for the event, check the exact dates and access arrangements in advance. A memorial event commemorating the Resistance is also held every year at the Quillien stele.

The two events differ in their setting: the July festival takes place around the chapel and fountain, while the memorial event is held at the stele. This distinction can help you plan if you want to time your stay around a particular event. It also lets you consider the event separately from the themes of architectural history and the route.

When looking for a hotel in Tourch, the event can be a useful starting point. A stay around the time of the Fête connects your trip with the festival held in July; if you do not have a specific event date in mind, the religious buildings or the circuit can provide a thematic focus.
