In the heart of the Brocéliande region, the town of Saint-Méen-le-Grand, which has been awarded the "Villages Stages" label, occupies a strategic position at the intersection of the main regional routes.

A true land of cycle tourism, Saint-Méen-le-Grand is situated at the crossroads of the greenways 6 and 3. The great cycling champion Louison Bobet (winner of the Tour de France and world champion in the 1950s) was born here and the "Tous à vélo à vélo avec Louison Bobet" (All on a bike with Louison Bobet) space pays tribute to him: open all year round, this space offers an immersive and interactive scenography presenting the exceptional career of this great champion.

The Abbey of Saint-Méen-le-Grand, the jewel of the town, is listed as a historic monument in its entirety. It still bears witness to the richness of its past: a Romanesque wall (12th century), remarkable 14th-15th century frescoes evoking the main stages in the life of the founding saint, one of the oldest recumbent figures in Brittany (11th century)....

Two weekly markets take place throughout the year: the Saturday morning market and the Friday evening market of local producers.
