| Chȃteau - Museum |
|
Check on the website for current opening times, which vary, and entrance fees. The museum is in the chȃteau; turn left after going through the main gate or ask the attendant to direct you to the gisants. These are in a basement and there are signposts once you reach the correct building, which is not the main keep. Be prepared to negotiate a steep stone spiral staircase. The floor of the basement is very uneven and can be partly flooded, so wear the correct shoes and be prepared to get you feet wet! However this is a fine collection so the journey is well worth it. |

Léhon - Abbaye Saint-Magloire de Léhon |
 |
| Léhon
is very close to Dinan and is well worth a visit. There is a charge for entry to the museum,
which is housed in the original monastic buildings, but not the
church; there is no charge for photography. Free parking
around the church. Excellent restaurant in the commune.
The abbey is open in July and August every morning -
except Sunday - 10.30 to 12.30; and every afternoon
14.30 to 18.30. There are guided tours all year for
groups and students. It is advised to check website
here. The identification of these monuments is somewhat speculative: there are several coats of arms and one inscription |

| Tréguier
Cathedral Tréguier is no longer the seat of a bishop, the bishopric having been abolished in 1801 when it was divided between the diocese of Quimper and Saint-Brieuc. However the church is still refered to as Tréguier Cathedral. |
||
| There are a number of effigies and slabs in the cathedral, both in the body of church and in the cloisters. There is no entrance fee and no charge for photography. As far as I can tell you may park in the square outside the cathedral at no charge. | ||
