A History of Côtes d'Armor

The memory of a territory is written over the centuries, shaped by landscapes, stories, and the daily lives of its people. With the publication of a new book dedicated to Côtes-d'Armor, readers have access to a structured and accessible insight into the past of this Breton territory.

A Narrative Rooted in the Territory

Designed to embrace local memory in all its breadth, this book delves into the heart of a land marked by the elements, faith, and local history. From the Trégor and Goëlo coastlines to the valleys of Argoat, the back cover sets the tone:

"A department, a thousand stories: discover Côtes-d'Armor, a land where legends, people, and History have left an indelible mark. Through this work, we trace several thousand years of life in an ancient territory on the northern coast of Brittany, transformed by the founding saints from across the Channel, shaped by dukes and peasants, before becoming this dynamic department between sea and hedgerow."

Unpublished Maps and Regional Perspective

To accompany this journey through time, the book brings together a collection of unpublished maps, providing enthusiasts and the curious alike with visual references on the spatial and cultural evolution of the department.
