Dol de Bretagne

The cathedral in Dol, a gem of religious architecture, stands on the edge of marshland. It is just one of the reminders of Dol’s outstanding history.

Dol de Bretagne became one of Brittany’s first bishoprics in the 6th century. King Nominoë I of Brittany was crowned here in 848 A.D.

 

 

The mediaeval town has one of Brittany’s oldest houses, the "Maison des Petits Palets". It is steeped in memories of the Vikings who invaded the region many long years ago.

In addition to its shops and services, Dol de Bretagne has much to offer, included outstanding buildings of historic interest and a busy community life with cultural, sports and leisure events.
