Members' reviews on LAMPAUL-GUIMILIAU PARISH ENCLOSURE
A place that I will really like to find a day because I absolutely loved. To mention the parish of St Thégonnec, monumental dimensions and Lampaul Guilmilliau, much smaller, but equally charming.
Moreover, they belong to Breton tradition and " pardons".
