Trédion is a locality of Morbihan, in Brittany region, 28 km north-east of Vannes and the Atlantic coast.
Founded in 1833 only, the parish that then belonged to Elven had appeared since the Middle Ages with the foundation of a priory and was famous from 1350 when the dukes of Brittany erected a hunting appointment in the form of a manor. Later, the site became castle, Catherine de Médicis regent of the kingdom stayed there in 1570.
It is still the heritage jewel of the town, also made of wood and moors on two thirds of its territory.
Agriculture and forestry remain prosperous.
Counting some 1260 inhabitants, Trédion seduced by its green environment as its heritage and is a pleasant step before reaching the Gulf of Morbihan...
First a simple manor that allowed the Dukes of Brittany to rest between two hunting parties during its construction in 1350, the castle of Trédion was enlarged and reworked over the centuries. It remains the jewel of Trédion. François I and Catherine de Medici stayed there in the 16th century, and the building was regularly redesigned, embellished and enlarged until the 19th century. The castle was bought in 1978 and restored. Apartments have been built upstairs for holidaymakers, and the ground floor houses a restaurant and function rooms. The granite and Renaissance building is surrounded by a restored 12-hectare park with ponds, themed gardens and sculptures that can be visited from April to November.

In terms of built heritage, always to see in Trédion, the Saint-Martin church, neo-gothic style, dating from the second half of the nineteenth century and whose portal is adorned with a statue of St. Martin, at above the bay.
Older, the chapel of Saint Nicolas d'Aguénéac was built in 1650 and was once the seat of the parish. His priest was murdered in 1795 and is buried in the nearby cemetery. The chapel has an octagonal wooden belfry and houses several statues, including a figurative Saint Fiacre and a Madonna and Child.
Several nicely decorated fountains also mark out the communal territory.
