Colonne des Trente

The Colonne des Trente stands 13 meters tall along Route D724 between Josselin and Ploërmel, near a location called La Pyramide point.

The monument commemorates a combat between thirty French-Breton knights and thirty Anglo-Breton knights during the War of Succession in Brittany in 1351.

This granite obelisk features a copper plaque with inscriptions honoring the Bourbon dynasty and the thirty Breton defenders of their homeland.

Located at coordinates 47.9375, -2.48694, the memorial sits within an enclosure owned by the General Council and remains open for visits without gate restrictions.

A cross that previously marked this location in the 17th century was destroyed during the revolution and reconstructed before the obelisk replaced it in 1819.
