The Ministère de la Culture's notice

En 1760, la communauté de la ville achète un terrain afin de réaliser une promenade publique. L'architecte Molac présente deux projets en 1760. Le projet, exécuté dans le dernier quart du 18e siècle, comprend une allée d'arbres conduisant au monument aux morts (érigé en 1922 par l'architecte Lafargue). Une des rares promenades de ce type conservée dans une petite ville bretonne.

In 1760, the town community purchases land in order to create a public promenade. The architect Molac presents two projects in 1760. The project, executed in the last quarter of the 18th century, comprises an avenue of trees leading to the war memorial (erected in 1922 by the architect Lafargue). One of the rare promenades of this type preserved in a small Breton town.
