History

In 1521, the monks of the Abbey of Daoulas, fleeing the plague, took refuge in Fresq (former name of the town) and build a chapel there, which stood today as the church of Saint-Eloy. The name Saint-Eloy came from Saint Eligius.[2]

Sights

gollark: It's still fairly high-entropy, is it not?
gollark: Being able to break the encryption on stuff is less obvious and can be done in bulk on intercepted data.
gollark: I'm an expert on this because I read *multiple* Wikipedia articles.
gollark: People are not idiots, and realized that that could be an issue, so there's work on designing asymmetric encryption schemes (symmetric is mostly safe as far as I know, except for Grover's algorithm) which cannot be broken by quantum computing.
gollark: Which breaks RSA and elliptic curve stuff.
