  Pontivy
Prior to the Revolution, Pontivy was one of the headquarters of the powerful Dukes of Rohan.
This won Pontivy the gratitude of the revolutionary government and contributed to its being selected as the main administrative centre on the proposed Nantes / Brest canal.
Pontivy has changed its name to Napoléonville on three separate occasions during its history: once when it was originally accorded the honour by Napoléon I, once again when Napoléon returned to power for the ‘Hundred Days’ and finally during the reign of Napoléon III.
