Huelgoat, Communal administrative center in Finistère, France
Located at the heart of Brittany, Huelgoat encompasses 114 square kilometers of territory with dense forests and numerous granite rock formations scattered throughout the landscape.
The village territory served as a refuge for Osismii Gauls during the Roman invasion, with archaeological evidence found at the excavated site known as Arthur's Camp.
The name Huelgoat derives from Breton language 'An Uhelgoad', meaning High Forest, reflecting the deep connection between local identity and the surrounding natural environment.
The commune maintains several marked hiking trails that lead visitors through the forest to natural landmarks, including the large boulder formations and ancient mining sites.
The village features La Roche Tremblante, an enormous balanced boulder that moves when pushed, demonstrating the exceptional geological formations in the area.
