Brocéliande is an ancient region, long traversed by people, trade and craftsmanship. Its heritage bears witness to this human presence in a wide variety of forms: chapels, abbeys, castles, half-timbered houses, industrial sites and places of remembrance.
Everywhere, history blends with the landscape. Purple schist, the region’s iconic stone, colours the walls, churches and villages. The forests, valleys and watercourses also serve as a reminder of just how much nature has shaped human activities, particularly those centred on iron.
