This parish belonged to the Collegiate Church Notre Dame de VITRE until the year 1116. It was then handed over to the Abbey of Saint Melaine (in RENNES). SAINT-DIDIER, the patron saint of the Parish, is undoubtedly the holy bishop of RENNES who lived at the end of the 7th century. His statue is part of the altarpiece of the high altar (1721), as well as that of Saint GOLVEN.
