During your stay with us, don't miss a visit to the Sainte-Barbe chapel , located in Le Faouët, just about thirty kilometers from our accommodation. This iconic site in Morbihan is one of the jewels of Breton heritage.
Built between the 15th and 16th centuries, the Sainte-Barbe chapel impresses with its Gothic architecture and spectacular location on a cliffside overlooking a wooded gorge. Accessible by a grand stone staircase lined with statues, it offers a unique experience blending spirituality, history, and nature.
Dedicated to Saint Barbara , patron saint of miners and firefighters, the chapel is linked to numerous legends. According to one of them, a lord had it built after escaping a lightning strike. This place has become a major pilgrimage site and attracts many visitors each year.
Once there, take the time to admire the architectural details, the fountain below, and the exceptional panorama over the valley. The site is particularly pleasant in spring or summer, when the surrounding nature is in full bloom.
Whether you are passionate about history, a lover of old stones or simply curious, the Sainte-Barbe chapel in Le Faouët is an unmissable outing to include in your stay.
