The mill dates from the 15th century and belonged to the Seigneurie du Hénan. It works thanks to the ebb and flow of the river subject to the tides and constitutes a historic monument of great beauty. The cut stones are imposing and come from the Kerochet quarry located one kilometer further down the river. The roof is original: it is a hipped roof with a break which indicates that the roof was originally thatched.

Pont-Aven: village and river

Highlight • Settlement

The small mill town of Pont Aven nestles idyllically in the green estuary of the river of the same name. He became famous mainly because Paul Gauguin spent three summer months here in the 19th century and many of his most famous works were created here. As you stroll through the town and over the bridges, you can vividly imagine how the poetry of these landscapes inspired artists then and now.

Kerangosquer Menhir (B)

Highlight • Other

The large menhir is called the "Pierre du Coq". According to a legend, the rooster that guards the menhir comes out twice a year, at Easter and Christmas, at the first stroke of midnight and sings to encourage passers-by to look for the treasure buried under the menhir which rises on this occasion.

Bois du Hénan Forest and Tidal Mill

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Very shaded circuit in the forest and on the banks of the Aven, dotted with granite constructions: tide mill, chapel or fountains on the edge of the Hénan arboretum. A great opportunity to discover the many varieties of birds nesting on the banks of the river: gray herons, kingfishers, cormorants.
