Glomel (Côtes-d'Armor, France)
Glomel is a rural commune in central Brittany, located in the Pays du Poher. The village offers a landscape of bocage, moorland and small hills, typical of inland Brittany. Local life remains marked by agriculture, traditions and an active practice of the Breton language and culture. It is a quiet starting point for those seeking nature and authenticity away from major tourist routes.
Heritage and history
Glomel's heritage is visible in its vernacular buildings: granite houses and farms, calvary dials and small rural chapels punctuate the area. Traces of Breton rural history remain visible in enclosures, washhouses and ancient paths. Local registers and a few interpretation panels located at the town hall or in the village provide historical reference points.
Nature and landscapes
The landscapes are dominated by bocage, hedgerows, meadows and moors that change with the seasons. Walks on foot or by bike allow appreciation of the open views and the calm of the countryside. Far from the coasts, inland Brittany offers a special light and wide horizons.
