Introduction to the TRO BREIZ

The Tro Breiz is a circular pilgrimage connecting the seven cathedrals of the seven founding saints of Brittany. This introduction gives all the background information necessary for understanding the origins and context of the journey. The history and significance of the Breton saints is also included. The second part of the book gives details of all seven stages, with general maps of the route. The most significant religious sites of chapels, sacred springs, abbeys and cathedrals are highlighted; but other sights along the way from megaliths to medieval castles also feature. Colour photos give a sense of the beautiful coast and countryside paths which pilgrims of any type can follow.
This introduction to the TRO BREIZ is for anyone who enjoys walking, history, and the rich heritage of Brittany.

From medieval origins to a strong revival today, the Tro Breiz pilgrimage is a journey through the history and religious heritage of Brittany. It connects the seven cathedrals of the seven founding saints, and also includes the legends, chapels and sacred springs of many others, in a circular itinerary. Megaliths, castles, memorials and curiosities add further layers of interest.
This book provides an outline of the unforgettable adventure that awaits pilgrims of any faith or none.

Key to all the beauty of Brittany
Old towns of great architectural colour anchor the seven stages of the Tro Breiz. Between those, the changing landscape is revealed by tracks through forests and over moorland, footpaths down tree-lined hollow ways, waterside walking along estuaries and coastal paths, and quiet trails connecting rural villages.
