St-Brieuc, Brittany travel guide
St-Brieuc is in north-eastern Brittany in the Cotes d'Armor department.
It is true to say that the town doesn't place its main focus on tourism, but there are a couple of interesting sites to see in Saint-Brieuc if you are in the region.
If you reach the heart of the town (and manage to park your car) the main things to check out are the cathedral of Saint Etienne and the sprinkling of half-timbered houses in the streets that surround the cathedral.
The 15th century cathedral is impressively fortified - the main entrance has sturdy 100 feet high towers either side with slits that allowed weapon to be fired from them. There is also some very attractive decoration inside the cathedral, such as the 18th century altarpiece.
Saint-Brieuc also has an ever-bustling pedestrianised shopping centre.
