Construction of Saint Jacques Church began in the eleventh century using granite from the area and further construction followed over the years, resulting in today's patchwork of architectural styles. During your visit, you will see the nave, the south door and the columns with carved capitals, superb examples of Roman art. The fourteenth century square tower and Gothic nave and the spire on top of the seventeenth century dome are also worth a look. Finally, the frieze of carved octopuses, unique in Roman art, and the sculpture of the Nativity, the oldest in the whole of Brittany, are impressive.
