The Valley of the Saints in Carnoët: a unique place between art and Breton legends
Located about XX minutes' drive from our accommodation, the Valley of the Saints in Carnoët is an exceptional cultural and landscape 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 the Côtes-d'Armor region, the Valley of the Saints offers breathtaking views 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 traditions.
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 visit is free year-round, and guided tours are offered during the season.
Strolling among these stone giants, you'll discover a fascinating site where Breton's intangible heritage comes to life before your eyes. An ideal stroll for families, couples, or friends, in the heart of an unusual, open-air setting.
