The Tromenies are annual devotional processions (a kind of pardon) which go out into the hills around Locronan where the hermit saint resided after arriving from Ireland in the 9C. There are stops at various sacred sites where relics are venerated and displayed. The walks occur every second Sunday of July, and are 5 km in length except that ever 6th year the procession is much longer (12 km) and occurs on the 2 and 3 Sunday with celebrations in between (the latest of these occurred in 2007). The longer walk is called the Grande Tromenie, the shorter one La Petite Tromenie. The walks begin and end inside the Chapel of Penity.
