Things to see and do Pilot Case

The main square of the village is dedicated to Gaston Monnerville, son of the mayor of the Pierre Monnerville town, who was in charge of the town from 1876. It is surrounded by a group of well-preserved 19^th and 20^th century buildings. Notice the moldings and the wrought iron balcony of the town hall and the old school where the brothers of Christian instruction taught Ploërmel. In the center, the cast iron and blue ceramic fountain, the color of the municipal coat of arms, is decorated with scallop shells recalling the role played by the Dominicans in the foundation of the parish.

A relic of the architecture of the first settlers, this building is probably older than the village church. It may have been part of a sugar mill in Case-Pilote at the very beginning of the 17^th century. The present private residence mentioned at the end of the 18^th century includes a main house and its outbuildings with stables, a chapel, and even a dungeon. Now classified as a historical monument, the house has undergone major renovations over the past few years, and is still undergoing major renovations that make it impossible to visit.

This Dominican church, classified as a historical monument, is one of the oldest on the island. Dating from 1640, it was rebuilt in 1762 after a fire during a battle between armed forces. To the left of the entrance door, a mosaic was made from ceramic shards found in Saint-Pierre after the eruption of Mount Pelee. Note the carved wooden scallop shell on the façade and the barrel vault decorated with scrolls and arabesques.
