"On the Jaudy
there is a town
that they call
the beautifull rock
To live there one day is worth an eternity
Indeed, for there everything is gaiety"
(local song) 

Site of headland and passage in bottom of estuary, La Roche-Derrien, old fortified settlement, invite you to discover its beauty. Described as the place of exchange between "Argoat", the inland, and "Armor", the costal area, the city was formed throughout generations by communities of men and women confronted with a turbulent history. Creative and needy, they printed their everyday life in the memory of the places and its inhabitants.
