Step back in time and explore the fascinating history of Pleumeleuc. This former parish, which included the towns of Bde, Breteil, Clayes, Le Lou-du-Lac, and La Nouaye, dates back to the 11th century. It was given to the Benedictine monks of Saint-Melaine Abbey. The bishop of Saint-Malo, Raoul, entrusted the church of Pleumeleuc to Pierre de Tintniac, a clierc. In the 17th century, the responsibilities of Pleumeleuc were divided between the priories of Bde and Hd. However, in the 18th century, the monks of Saint-Melaine only asked for 2/3 of the tithe, leaving the rest for the priest. Immerse yourself in the history and stories of Pleumeleuc!

The first popular French dish is Ratatouille, a colorful vegetable stew traditionally made with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and seasoned with herbs such as thyme and basil. This hearty, non-meat dish is typically served alongside grilled meats or fish.

Another famous French dish is Coq au Vin, a braised chicken dish that originated in Burgundy. It involves marinating chicken pieces in red wine with mushrooms, bacon, onions, and garlic before slow-cooking them until tender and flavorful. The final dish is often garnished with parsley and served with potatoes, noodles, or bread.

Lastly, the iconic French dish, Croissants, are flaky, buttery pastries made from layers of laminated dough, which are then curved into a crescent shape and traditionally served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
