Guingamp, town, Côtes-d’Armor département, Brittany région, northwestern France. It lies on the right bank of the Trieux River east-northeast of Brest, the first Breton-speaking town on the road from Paris to Brest. An important market town which in the Middle Ages was the capital of the countship, subsequently the duchy of Penthièvre, it is now an industrial centre. The basilica of Notre-Dame (14th–16th century) was severely damaged during World War II but has been restored. A chapel outside the church is dedicated to the Black Virgin (called Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours). The statue there is the object of an annual pardon, a Breton religious pilgrimage. The town’s industries include food processing and the manufacture of electronic machinery. Pop. (1999) 8,008; (2014 est.) 7,003.
