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.

Many people stop at the Miroir aux Fées only, yet this pond upstream is wilder and the atmosphere deserves to push the walk here.

Val Sans Retour

Highlight • Gorge

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.

Golden Tree

Steep climbs, steep descents, over streams, all bathed in the most beautiful light in the world: when the morning sun breaks through the trees. Every root, every leaf here is shrouded in legend. Fairies dance on the water's surface. Merlin holds his hand over the region. Porte des Sécrets. Morgan once petrified her lover here after he cheated on her. …

In the Val sans Retour we first came to the Ruisseau du Gué de Mony and then to the Étange du Moroir aux Fées. At the end was the golden-sprayed tree trunk Arbre …
