Musée Municipal d'Art et d'Histoire


Situated next to the small town hall (off the main square near the church), this museum is largely dedicated to the history of the linen industry. It brought prosperity to the village, but then died out because of mechanisation. There are also examples of Breton paintings upstairs.
