Named in honor of St. Volon, clergyman of Irish descent, the city of Lanvollon takes place in Brittany, in the Côtes d'Armor. About ten kilometers from the sea, it is located halfway between Paimpol and Saint-Brieuc.
The village is organized around a monastery established by Saint Volon and occupied by monks of Dol. It has also managed to resist the Norman invasions in the tenth century. Lively commune Lanvollon unveils today a typical architecture of the region, with old stone houses and the monuments of great interest.
Its strategic position makes Lanvollon an ideal base for exploring the rest of the Cotes d'Armor and all the major sights of this part of Brittany.
