Carhaix-Plouguer (/kaʁɛ pluɡɛʁ/Note 1), commonly called Carhaix, is known to be one of the most flourishing cities of Gallo-Roman Armorica during Antiquity, then bearing the name Vorgium (Latin name of the capital of the Gallic and then Gallo-Roman people of the Osismes). It is today known for hosting, since 1992, the Vieilles Charrues festival, one of the main music festivals in Europe.

Small bridge whose arc forms a semicircle, and whose reflection perfectly completes the circle. A beautiful shot to take along the Vélodyssée greenway.
