Welcome to the website of the Tourist Office of Brocéliande Paimpont

Brocéliande, a name that evokes magic… Many stories and legends are associated with this forest. Pass through ‘Brocéliande, la Porte des Secrets’ (Brocéliande, the Gate of Secrets) for a sensory and poetic immersion into the world of Brocéliande, its tales and legends, the history of iron, and its wild universe. Then continue your journey with a guide-storyteller. During the walk, you will meet King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Merlin the Enchanter, Breton fairies and goblins, discover the virtues of the Barenton fountain and contemplate the Golden Tree in the heart of the magnificent landscapes of the Val sans Retour. Brocéliande, with its mysterious and fascinating legends and its protected natural environment rich in biodiversity, offers an authentic journey into the heart of nature!

In Brocéliande, there’s the forest, of course, but there’s also an extraordinary built heritage. Get lost in the area’s communes and admire the red shale stone houses typical of the Destination. Built by Arthur Regnault in the 19th century, Maxent’s church is well worth a visit. Don’t miss Paimpont, a village of legendary charm. A visit to Paimpont also includes its magnificent 13th-century abbey, its pond and its Forges, remnants of the largest forges in Brittany.

At the heart of the Destination, Brittany’s largest forest, the Forêt de Brocéliande, can be discovered on foot, by bike or on horseback. As you venture through the forest, you’ll discover a variety of landscapes, including moorland, ponds and oak and beech woods, some of which are hundreds of years old and legendary! Set off on an adventure with the itineraries selected for you by the Tourist Office. Who knows if you’ll come across a playful squirrel or a mischievous korrigan at the crossroads?
