Trévé combines architectural and artistic history with opportunities for walks throughout the year. The highlights are the parish church of Saint-Just, the Chapelle Saint-Pierre and the Manoir, la Ville aux Veneurs; each adds a different historical period and theme. The Bois de Brocheboeuf complements the historical sights with time outdoors. This gives you a choice of different focuses for your plans: religious architecture, art, local textile history and a walk.

Parish Church of Saint-Just: Architecture and Visual Art

The parish church of Saint-Just was rebuilt starting in 1709; its bell tower was built in 1724. The floor plan is in the shape of a Latin cross, the building has three naves, and the bell tower is crowned with a stone spire. The floor plan describes the overall shape, while the three naves refer to the spatial layout. The visual art includes a granite Crucifixion scene from the 16th century. It depicts Christ on the cross with Saint John and Saint Peter, both dressed in Renaissance clothing. The church thus brings together a dated architectural history and a specifically described depiction.

Chapelle Saint-Pierre and Its Works of Art

The Chapelle Saint-Pierre is located near the settlement of Foeil-Mareuc in Trévé and dates from the late Middle Ages. It is also known as the Chapelle du Montoir or the Chapelle du Moustoir; all three names refer to the same chapel. Its bell tower was added in 1752. In the choir, behind the altarpiece, is a wall painting of the Crucifixion, probably created in the 15th or 16th century. Another work of art in the chapel is “La Vocation de saint Pierre”: Le Corre, known as Dupont, painted the picture in 1711; it was restored in 1991. It has been listed as a protected object since 21 November 1991. The dates illustrate different aspects of art history: the time of creation, restoration and protected status are not the same thing.

Manor House and Clothmaking

The Manoir, la Ville aux Veneurs, was built in 1761 for Sébastien Moisan, a cloth merchant. It is set in wooded surroundings and has a T-shaped floor plan. The building can be connected to Trévé’s economic history: the commune belonged to a rural cloth-producing area and was linked to the Loudéac cloth market. The manor house thus complements the religious architectural and artistic history with a different perspective on the area: textile production and its links to the market.

Walks and Other Activity Ideas

The Bois de Brocheboeuf offers walkers a place to walk throughout the year. This is a clear complement to the historical themes if you would also like to plan some time outdoors during your stay. For other activity ideas, the commune of Trévé recommends the “Bretagne Centre Rando” mobile app. It lets you discover walking, horse-riding, cycling and water-based activities in the Loudéac Communauté area. This regional area extends beyond the individual walking spot. Before planning, check whether the app is available and whether its information is up to date.

Plans included redesigning the entire pond shore in Trévé and creating walking paths. If the pond is important to your plans, check the current situation locally.
