Saint-Cast-the-Guildo

Saint-Cast-the-Guildo is a common department of the Coast-with Armor, in the area Brittany, in France.

The name would come from Saint Cast (or Cado ), the son of an Irish prince, disciple of Saint Jacut and large traveller; owner of the travellers and the knights. Another assumption says to us that it would be a deformation of the Breton words lan = valley and cad = battles.

The city in seaside, joins together the districts the Borough, Isle and the Guard. A beautiful beach is between the Point of the Guard and the Point of Saint-Cast.
