Pleumeleuc (Breton: Pleveleg, Gallo: Ploemenoec) is a commune in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine in Brittany in the northwest of France.
The town of Pleumeleuc is part of the county of Montfort-sur-Meu and of the town of Rennes.
It stretches over 19,51 km2 and had 2.824 inhabitants in 2009. It is surrounded by Montfort-sur-Meu, Bédée, La Nouaye, Breteil, Iffendic, Talensac, Saint-Gonlay. La Vaunoise river goes through the town and many pedestrian paths follow the banks.
Pleumeleuc was a former early parish which included the towns of Bédée, Breteil, Clayes, Le Lou-du-Lac and La Nouaye.
During the 11th century, the parish of Pleumeleuc was given to the benedictin monks of Saint-Melaine abbey.
In 1218, Raoul, bishop of Saint-Malo, made it know that the abbot of Saint-Melaine had introduced him to the clierc Pierre de Tinténiac to be in charge of the church of Pleumeleuc. Pierre de Tinténiac, reserving all the rights on the taxes of the parish for himself, the bishop said that he had entrusted him the souls and had left him the place in the church.
During the 17th century, the two priories of Bédée and Hédé shared the charges of Pleumeleuc. But, during the 18th century, as the priest had to be paid, the monks of Saint-Melaine only asked for 2/3 of the tithe of Pleumeleuc and left all that was left to the priest for his own money bag.
