You must see the basilica of Notre Dame de Paradis, (done in 16C), on the flamboyant gothic style constructed between 1514 and 1524 on the honor of the virgin Mary under Notre Dame de Paradis . its tower is 65 meters high, and became a church from 1590, raise to basilica minor by pope Pie X on January 17 1913 for the exemplary devotion of the inhabitants of the city to the Virgin. In 1699 the peste causes lots of deaths in the city and the locals pledge a statue in silver to the Virgin if they can be spare of this desease. it became the Voeu de 1699, thereafter every year a procession is done all over the city, and the desease stopped. The procession continues to this day thus each last Sunday of September. See inside the stained glass by Max Ingrand retracing the great events of the history of Hennebont. The Organ (1652) is the oldest in the department of the Morbihan.

A wonderful place, You must see the ramparts, (15C) placed at the old fortification of the times of duke Jean 1 (13C). Overcoming many wars such as the one of the succession of Brittany and the war of the league in 1590. The towers crown the corners at four cardinal points ,now only 3 remained, Tour St Nicolas (at south side), Tour des Carmes,(north east side), and the fortified porte or door at the east side, built before the 14C. This last one, known as Porte Broërec’h, the entry door to the enclosed city is flanked by two twins towers link by a bridge conserving the machinary of the raising bridge. A round walkway is seen on top of the towers whre great views of the city can be seen today.

I chose the Pizzeria del Castello or The pizzeria du chateau in Italian, very nice friendly folks, who took our pictures, and were prompt and food well done. The resto is very near the Tours Broêrec’h . a nice family ambiance that we like. Great deal.
Favorite Dish: We had faux filet grill in sauce poivre 3, pizza primavera with chorizos, Tartiflettes, and Burger à cheval, apertififs from porto to jack daniels, kir, beer, then desserts from banana splits(2) ,poire belle helene, ice cream of different flavors; a bottle of Villa Burghese, Paqua, Bardolino red of Italy, very good. all 142€ for 6 persons
just awesome day...

Favorite thing: And Hennebont is no difference. You can arrive anyhow,by car, train, bus, but once in it ,the best rest the foot.
Hennebont is great to walk full of history all over, and nice friendly folks on the streets and commerces.
You can go and see the tourist office at the maison des bâtisseurs dating from the 16C, in the historical and renovated mail de kronach.
the mayor's office or mairie a nice old building ,the hôtel de Belcherre (18C).
The nice basilique Notre Dame de Paradis already tipped here. the nice remparts, and the viaduc over the river carrying the train over the port of Hennebont.
The city center hilly starting from the river but nice and quaint , a lovely place to spend a day. It is only 24 kms from my house lol!!!
Fondest memory: The climbing of the remparts and walking along the top of it the whole distance with great views of the city.
