What stands there
1 pardon chapel
According to local tradition, this chapel was built in 1445 in fulfilment of a vow made by the Marquis de Barac'h, saved from shipwreck off Perros-Guirec — hence its name, Notre-Dame de la Clarté (Our Lady of Light), the light having guided him back to the coast. The great pardon, the Breton pilgrimage festival that commemorates this episode, is still held here every year in mid-August.
