Saint-Brieuc, a vibrant town in Brittany, France, is rich in history and tradition. In July 1895, a tragic railway accident occurred near the town, as depicted in this engraving of the two damaged locomotives and tender. Despite the darkness of the past, Saint-Brieuc continued to shine, hosting bardic ceremonies and festivals, as seen in this illustration from Le Petit Journal. The town's connection to the Seven Saints of Brittany is deeply rooted in its cultural identity, as chronicled in Alain Bouchard's Chroniques de Bretagne. The 71st Infantry Regiment even left a souvenir of their presence in the form of a commemorative card. Today, Saint-Brieuc thrives as a bustling market town, with the Red Cross Hotel standing proudly on Place Dugueselin. The spirit of the town remains unbroken, as it continues to embrace its past and look towards the future.
