Relaxing outings in the forest
Take a walk in the woods... and fill up on nature and fresh air. In the Pays du Roi Morvan, the tall trees of the woods and forests keep you cool on hot days and provide ideal hideaways for wild games of hide-and-seek!
The Pontcalleck state forest in Berné
In Berné, in the Scorff Valley, the 543-hectare Pontcalleck state forest offers a wealth of walking opportunities. Just be careful not to get lost!

Don't miss a visit to the remains of the medieval hamlet built in the 13th century.
Sainte-Barbe wood in Le Faouët

It's also a densely wooded area with winding paths leading down to the banks of the river, past the pretty fountain. Take your time and save your breath for the walk back up to the car park!
Take a moment to visit the Chapelle Sainte-Barbe and discover the superb Halles in the town centre.
