||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Callac is a small
market town situated between Guingamp and Carhaix, in the heart of
Central Brittany.
EDF: 02 96 43 80 69
Callac is noted for its peaceful atmosphere and easy pace of life and yet it has most of the amenities that one would expect from a modern town - two supermarkets, two banks, a post office, two boulangeries, and an exceptionally good patisserie with an attached tea shop.
The market is held on Wednesday mornings. Callac market is one of the few places where one hears Breton being spoken in the streets. Many farmers have retired to Callac after selling their farms, helping the town to retain a traditional Breton atmosphere.
Callac is situated on the one line that was saved from the old 'Réseau Breton', the narrow gauge railway system that linked the towns of Central Brittany in the early part of the twentieth century. The Carhaix to Guingamp line was converted to normal gauge in the 1960s. |
