La Vallée des Saints

The Valley of the Saints in Carnoët in Brittany has been installed since 2009 on a historic site, at an altitude of 230 m, which offers a breathtaking view of central Brittany. It is around the vestiges of a feudal mound that enthron impressive impressive monumental statues of 4 m high on average. All shaped in Breton granite, they represent the Breton saints, these religious who left Great Britain and Ireland in the High Middle Ages to land Armorica. Today, the 100 sculptures of the Valley of the Saints draw visitors between History and legends ... A unique site in the world in the heart of Brittany, the Valley of the Saints is in perpetual artistic creation with the creation each year of new monumental statues to arrive in a few decades at a thousand sculptures. With more than 420,000 visitors in 2018, this original place of memory is tending to become an essential site in Brittany. To better accommodate its many tourists, the site has acquired a new reception building (Bagad Café and shop). To reach the Valley of the Saints, take the D787 between Carhaix and Callac. Paid access to the car park: 2 € (provide a room of 2 € or 2 rooms of 1 €).
