Presentation of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo

The municipality of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo (in Breton, Sant-Kast-Ar-Gwildoù; 3,432 inhabitants in 2014, 2,263 ha) was established in 1972 as the merger of the former municipalities of Notre-Dame-du-Guildo and Saint-Cast.

The battle of Saint-Cast was fought on 11 September 1758. An English raid by sea on the region of Dinard was stopped at river Rance by the Vauban fortifications. Withdrawing to their ships moored off St-Cast, the assaulters were attacked on the beach by Emmanuel-Armand de Vignerot du Plessis-Richelieu, Duke of Aiguillon. The casualties were higher (1,160) for the English than for the French (445) troops. The battle is commemorated by a monument featuring a greyhound defeating a lion.
