View of the Val sans Retour from the Faux-Amants Rock

Highlight • Forest

From here you can admire the Valley of No Return. But don't forget to spare a thought for the two young lovers petrified here by the fairy Morgane.

The famous Valley of No Return, here the atmosphere is obviously special with the legend that radiates around. A great opportunity in any case to discover the forest of Paimpont and the many places linked to the Arthurian cycle.

Upper Pond of the Val Sans Retour

This circuit is, in my opinion, very poorly marked. Also, if you don't save it, you will quickly get lost!
Some portions prove to be a little dangerous, particularly on rocks and along waterways.
The walk nevertheless offers nice views of the heights of the Brocéliande forest.
