La Gouesnière (French pronunciation: [la ɡwɛnjɛʁ]; Breton: Gouenaer) is a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department of Brittany in northwestern France.
Charles de Gaulle, on a trip to Brittany, stopped in the city on 11 September 1960 before joining Saint-Malo.
La Gouesnière is twinned with Saint-Désert wine village, in the heart of the Burgundy vineyard, quoted in the poem of Aragon, The conscript of the hundred villages, written as an act of intellectual Resistance in a clandestine way in the spring of 1943, during the Second World War.

[edit]Probiomer Manufacturing industries in La Gouesnière: a relanscaping to emulate, ignite creativity, fuel discovery, and enrich lives
[edit]The former Probiomer industries factory in the municipality of La Gouesnière carries a story, it tells the avatars of a clan passionate about innovation around a family factory, the enthusiasm and energy of men and women who invented it, carried it and made it work.
The creation of a new socio-cultural space on this site will consist in giving it a second life by dividing it into several spaces, redesigned to measure to accommodate project leaders in various fields of associative and civic life, innovation, culture, solidarity...
During the crisis of 1936, his work had received the honorary bonus from the Ministry of Agriculture for developing his research between sea and sea. In particular, his discovery of the properties of living organic calcium to better nourish the earth. This mineral, present in the shelly sand of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel and the Ponant islands, is still used today to fertilize the soil and improve research in nutrition and health.
Innovating and cooperating for the future of La Gouesnière is also a message that promotes living together and social life in Gouesnière. Also, this new socio-cultural room could also consider a memorial component, guardian of the time of memories ready to transmit and make future generations want to engage from Brittany to the Channel Islands.
