The Monts d'Arrée
A must-see place in legendary Brittany
If you are a fan of Breton legends, head to the Monts d’Arrée. The hotel is 60 km away from this “desolate and marshy land,” between heather and mysteries…
According to Celtic legend, the Youdig (meaning the door to the underworld in Breton) is said to be located near Yeun Elez, at the foot of Mont-Saint-Michel de Braspart.
For centuries, the Monts d’Arrée were feared by both travelers and locals who worried that Lankou (the devil) might take them away. Today, the site attracts many tourists seeking fantastic and wild landscapes.
In Brennilis, a charming Breton village, visitors can admire the altarpiece of the Notre-Dame church (15th century) and the dolmen of Ti Ar Boudiged (watch out for the korrigans!). Also explore Braspart, Plounéour Ménez, the Abbey of Relec… all invitations to discover an exceptional religious heritage…
Hikers can explore over 8,000 hectares of moors and observe a rich and varied flora and fauna between woods, hedgerows, rocky ridges, and peat bogs…
The Monts d’Arrée are located 70 km from the Les Résidences d’Armor hotel restaurant.
