| St.Hilaire du Harcouët is a pretty town with good shops and a Wednesday market.
The outstanding feature of the town is a large 19th C. church with two spires. The church luckily survived the air raids and bombardments of 1944 which killed its priest and destroyed the town centre (now rebuilt in the traditional style). The town hosts a museum of religeous art and is close to the wildlife park at St.Symphorien-des-Monts and the recreational facilities of the Vezin dams on the river Selune.
Every summer the nearby village of Montgothier offers a weekly pageant to convey the fascinating history of the area. |
