Le mystérieux Val sans Retour

The Val sans Retour, the entrance to which is located in Tréhorenteuc, is one of the most beautiful parts of the Broceliande forest, a place of legends in an enchanting setting!

"Enter this domain where the fairy Morgane, half-sister of King Arthur, locked up unfaithful men, and where only the knight Lancelot du Lac, faithful to Guinevere, was able to thwart the spells by freeing the imprisoned knights.
Discover the Golden Tree, a work of art erected by Francois Davin in 1991 following a terrible fire the previous year.
This tree, sculpted and then covered with real gold leaves, symbolises the rebirth of the forest, but also its fragile and precious character.
Enjoy the Miroir aux fées pond and the lower valley: in the past, there were four ponds in the Val sans Retour. Until 1930, they fed the Moulin de la Vallée, some of whose ruins can still be seen below the Arbre d'Or. The name of the Miroir aux Fées comes from a legend which tells that in the past, 7 fairies, 7 sisters, lived there and liked to observe their reflection in the water...
Finish with the magnificent panorama of the ridges!
