Located approximately 45 minutes by car from our accommodation, the Valley of the Saints in Carnoët is an exceptional cultural and scenic site, not to be missed during your stay in Brittany. Nicknamed the "Breton Stonehenge", this valley is home to hundreds of monumental granite statues representing the great founding saints of Brittany .

Perched on a hill in the heart of Côtes-d'Armor, the Valley of the Saints offers a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding countryside. Each statue, hand-carved by contemporary Breton artists, measures between 3 and 5 meters high and tells a unique story drawn from Celtic and Christian tradition.

This artistic and heritage project aims to revive the memory of Breton saints while supporting contemporary creation. It is a place that spectacularly blends spirituality, culture, nature, and art. The site is open to the public year-round, and guided tours are offered seasonally.

Strolling among these stone giants, you'll discover a fascinating site where Brittany's intangible heritage comes to life before your eyes. An ideal outing for families, couples, or groups of friends, in the heart of an unusual, open-air setting.
