is located 30 km north of Lorient, in the beautiful region called "the country of King Morvan". The Pont Calleck Forest (500ha) is just 200 meters from our property, and lovers of hiking, whatever their level, will find their account. The hiking trails run right along the Scorff Valley, a meeting place for picnickers, fishermen and nature lovers in general. And it's also in January and February that the canoe-kayak season begins on a wild and tumultuous Scorff.
If you're athletic, why not go mountain biking, or just ride a bike? These are not the roads reserved only for 2 wheels that are missing here!

At the Faouët les Halles 16th century, the exceptional site of St.Barbe and the elegant chapel St.Fiacre and fabulous rood screen.
At Quistinic, the renovated village of Poul Fétan takes us back in time, and we find the gestures of peasant life as they were in the last centuries.
The surrounding communes, Langonnet, Plouray, Ploërdut, St.Tugdal, Lignol, St.Yves etc., have in common that they all have magnificent churches. In addition, the rehabilitation of the rural heritage, which has been very active in recent years, has the direct consequence of beautifying these once gray and sad communes.
More and more parks and castles open to the public. Some are already well known as Trévarez in Saint Goazec, Huelgoat and his "chaos" or Tronjoly, place of exhibition in Gourin.
The museum of Faouët will allow the visitor to discover a more romantic Brittany through the artists who painted it in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Guéméné should not be forgotten, charming little town in the very picturesque historical center, and a unique culinary specialty, the andouille. Delicious.
