Perros-Guirec - Saint-Jacques

The first church ever built here, was near the sea, where Saint Guirec, a missionary from Wales, went ashore in the 6th century. The parish church seen here was erected little inland, on a hill ("Perros" - "Pen-roz") and was dedicated to Saint Guirec.
Within the 11th century, the first pilgrims on their way to Santiago passed through and so Saint-Jaques was added.

Of the Romanesque church the nave and the southern walls still exist. It got enlarged and altered over the centuries. The tower dates back to the 14th century.
