What a pleasure to stroll through the alleys of this town labeled “Small City of Character®”. Located between Brittany and Normandy, Bazouges-la-Pérouse was renowned as a place of exchange for millennia.

A city witness to a remarkable historical heritage
At the top of the city, you can visit a double church! Both St. Peter and St. Paul churches were attached. See how their six naves have been joined together. In the 19th century, the whole of the church was transformed and we can now appreciate a beautiful glass roof.
If you pass Place de la Mairie, you will come across the imposing Colombier Manor which was the probable residence of the ancient lords of the Region.
As you head towards the monument square, which dates from 1604, you will have to look on the facade of the House of the Hanged strange grimacing masks!
We know that the King's Prosecutor had a house there, you will recognize it by its richly decorated corner window.
A Village dedicated to creation and contemporary art
Today Bazouges-la-Pérouse is known and reputed as a land of artists where the works end up in the street.
Personalized contemporary art exhibitions are offered in the three galleries of the art center The Village of artistic experimentation. Local and internationally renowned artists present exhibitions there, often produced during residencies related to the territory.

The local culinary specialty is the Pomme!
Every autumn in Bazouges-La-Pérouse we perpetuate a local tradition which dates from the XNUMXth century… We are preparing the pommé!
Le Apple is a cider apple reduction. To achieve this product, typical of Upper Brittany, the mixture is heated for long hours in a huge copper container: “la péle” placed in the hearth on a tripod. The fire must be constantly maintained and supervised so that the cooking is regular. Apples are regularly poured into it and the whole thing is stirred (“ramaougé” in Gallo), without stopping for 12 to 20 hours! The product thus obtained is soft, sweet or sour and can be stored for a long time.
Thanks to the Association The Ramougeries of Pommé, the tradition is perpetuated from year to year!
