The Barrage

Around the Lac de Guerlédan
A bridleway from the north end of St Aignan village leads through a stunning gorge to the foot of the dam and the slightly humming, slightly foreboding 1930's architecture of the actual Hydro- Electric plant. Visits to this and the dam itself can be arranged for parties. Overlooking the gorge is the Chapel de Ste Trephine, itself built on the site of Castel Finans, the home of the bluebeard Conomor, her scheming husband.
