Quintin, a charming village 20 minutes from Saint-Brieuc

Quintin was an important trading centre between the 19th and 19th centuries.

The town was famous for its linen trade. A linen factory was set up in the village, contributing to the development of the linen cloth trade.

Testimony to this past can be seen in the many monuments that can still be seen throughout the village.

You can admire the castle, the basilica and the many private mansions in the little town. The remarkable timber-framed houses are right in the centre of the village of Quintin.

These are all reminders, in part, of the sumptuous times when Quintin ruled the region's trade!
