A legendary weekend in Destination Broceliande

Day 2 – Entering the Legend

No doubt about it, the entrance to Broceliande is indeed in Paimpont. In fact, all you have to do is push the Door of Secrets and follow Pierre, the park ranger, for 45 minutes of pure wonder. A scenography as we like them, mixing emotion and humor, to get to know the forest and its legends.

Direction then Tréhorenteuc, it is here that the Grail is hidden, or rather the Church of the Grail… The only church in the world dedicated to this legend, it symbolizes the meeting of Celtic and Christian traditions and chivalric stories. But it is also the start of many hikes, the most famous leading to the Val sans retour, to the Fairy Mirror, the Rock of False Lovers and of course the Golden Tree. Our storytellers will guide you between legend and reality throughout the afternoon.

If you are not sure you really know all about the legends of Arthur and his faithful knights, we invite you to the Centre de l’Imaginaire Arthurien in Concoret. Artistic exhibitions and scenographies, workshops, conferences, storytelling walks (and much more), follow one another throughout the year to give life to these heroes and mythical creatures and thus make you forget the border between stories and History.

Day 3 – Stroll through the narrow streets of our Small Cities of Character

Whether in Josselinor in Malestroit, every step seems to bring you a little closer to the history of Brittany.

Perched from the top of the bell tower of the Basilica of Notre-Dame du Roncier, on an electric boat on the Canal or walking through the gardens of the chateau, you can’t help but fall under the charm of Josselin. At any moment, it seems that a knight in armor or a duchess in crinoline could come to greet us: here everything is only fairy tale.

If you have time, make a detour to Lizio, a typical little village that will amaze you. Indeed, no less than 4 museums (and two escape games) are waiting for you, including a life-size dream factory: the Universe of the Scrap Metal Poet.

Also discover Malestroit, where you can stroll between our flowered half-timbered houses, chat with our dear inhabitants, taste our local products at the market or stroll along the Canal at sunset. For the more adventurous, the Canal will be enjoyed even more aboard a canoe!
