Description

An obelisk of thirteen meters celebrates the battle which took place on March 27, 1351, opposing thirty English knights to thirty Breton knights under the command of Jean de Beaumanoir. A cross had been installed in this location in the 17th century. This, destroyed in 1793, was rebuilt from the remains of the original, in the same place. It is behind the obelisk.
