    Hiking

    Located at the western tip of the island of Batz, the Trou du Serpent (Toull ar Zarpant in Breton) is an impressive jumble of granite rocks sculpted by the elements.
    According to Breton legend, it was precisely at this spot that Saint Pol (Paul Aurélien), who came to evangelize the region in the 6th century, allegedly threw the monstrous dragon that terrorized the inhabitants into the waves, simply by binding it with his stole. Today, the site offers a spectacular and wild panorama where the waves crash powerfully against the granite blocks.

    Legend has made this rock the place where Saint-Pol would have thrown the dragon that terrorized the island into the waves.
