2 unusual facts about Battle of Ballon


Battle of Ballon

In 1952 the battle was commemorated by the nationalist group Koun Breizh, who funded the erection of a statue of Nominoƫ by the artist Raffig Tullou in Bains-sur-Oust, near the site of the victory.

Nominoƫ lured the king into marshland at the confluence of the Oust and the Aff between Redon and Bains-sur-Oust, near Ballon Abbey - hence the name of the battle.
