Saint-Suliac, the authentic

Thanks to the protection of its heritage, Saint-Suliac, a former fishing village on the Rance estuary, was elected one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France” and is definitely worth a visit!

STROLL AMONG THE “RUETTES”

The name of Saint-Suliac comes from the evangelist monk who founded the town in the 6th century. The narrow streets, called “ruettes”, can only be visited on foot. Come and discover the many curiosities, such as the houses with arched doors, the windows with lintels, the thatched roofs or the fishing nets hanging on the walls of the houses. Below the village, don’t miss the charming port where boats rest peacefully.

Several information panels in the village offer a presentation full of anecdotes and enhanced with ancient illustrations.

THE ENIGMATIC REMAINS OF A VIKING CAMP

When you climb up to Mont Garrot, which culminates at a height of 73 metres above Saint-Suliac, at low tide in particular you will be able to see stone foundations emerging not far from the bank. Although there is no concrete proof, this is thought to be an old Viking camp that would have welcomed longships. Now protected by silt, the Viking camp has been taken over by nature.

Saint-Suliac is a real gem. Here, like in most Breton villages, stones are legion and forge the character of this beautiful region. The village has antiquated and peaceful charm that works its magic!

Vestige du camp viking - Saint Suliac. Une énigme du secteur qui n’a jamais pu être validée faute de moyen pour faire des fouilles archéologiques plus poussées. Dans l’anse du Vigneux, l’ancienne place forte aurait été occupé par les Normands en 900 et 950. Le camp aurait été construit sur les restes d’un ancien Castrum Romain. Le camp devait être protégé par une fortification en bois, sur un promontoire de terre entouré d’un assemblage de pierres. Cette partie dominait la Rance et un retranchement extérieur, probablement protégé par des pieux, pouvait accueillir les drakkars, côté terre, pour les protéger. La présence des vikings en Bretagne a probablement était plus importante que ce que l’histoire nous dit. Les paysages bretons en bord de mer ou de fleuves portent encore les traces de leurs camps et de leurs passages. D’ailleurs, la zone entre Dol de Bretagne et Saint Brieuc a vu l’établissement d’une communauté noroise pendant environs une génération. Les vikings étaient des marins dans l’âme et ils ne voulaient, en aucun cas, quitter les zones maritimes. #bretagne #saintsuliac #rance #drone #dronephotography #histoire #vikings #viking #history #mythology #dinan #saintmalo #drone #dronefrance #france bretagnetourisme labellebretagne region_bretagne bretagne.focus_on #droner #photography #mavicpro #mavicpro2 #dji dji_official
