Cyclist city by excellence, Plouay has its bicycle museum, a "veloparc", built on a park of 50 ha. An interesting construction, built with the perspective to host the World Road Championships that the principal city of the district of Morbihan will organize in the year 2000.
A historical city with an interesting past, capital of the "military" Vendée (wars of Vendée) and an important textile center, Chôlet is an enterprising city resolutely looking towards the future.
