Broceliande Short Stay5 days / 4 nights

Program

DAY 1 : la Gacilly city of artists

Welcome to La Gacilly! This small city of welcoming character, with its flowery bridge that spans the Aff, the many shops of craftsmen, sculptors, jewellers, glassmakers, potters... is perfect for strolling! Throughout the summer, the streets are adorned with a large-format open-air photographic exhibition* highlighting the peoples of the earth and Nature. It is for this connection to nature that the activity of Yves Rocher, a big name in natural cosmetics and a native of the country, has established itself in La Gacilly. You can freely visit the Botanical Garden, the bamboo grove: a veritable plant observatory!

At the end of the day, check into the hotel. The latter presents an architecture in communion with the surrounding nature, a restaurant serving organic and local cuisine will delight your taste buds while the spa invites you to relax and contemplate the landscapes of the Aff valley.

Free dinner and night at the hotel with breakfast

* Free. From June to September each year

DAY 2 : brocéliande forest and the legends of Arthur

After a hearty breakfast, you will set off to explore the Brocéliande forest to enter the Arthurian legend! It is accompanied by a storyteller, from Tréhorenteuc that you will walk through the Val-Sans-Retour, the sunken paths towards the Fountain of Barenton and the Golden Tree. This storytelling walk in the forest will take you on a journey through time and the imagination. When you return from the walk, do not forget to visit the small village chapel.

Reprenez la route vers Paimpont, mais avant cela, faites un détour par Concoret et arrêtez-vous aux
pieds d’un arbre remarquable : le chêne à Guillotin.

In Paimpont, a lunch of local flavors is reserved for you.

We suggest you take a few steps in this small historic city. You will discover the famous forges of Paimpont with the remains of their blast furnaces, the retention basins, the workshops (free visit included); the abbey, an architectural gem in the heart of the forest, from which it has drawn all its presence.

Continue your discovery of this territory by stopping in Monteneuf to stroll through the heart of another legendary site in Brocéliande, this time made up of menhirs, tumulus, covered walkways dating back to the Neolithic period
