Val sans Retour

Val sans Retour is a woodland park in Tréhorenteuc featuring purple schist rock outcrops and several marked walking trails. The site combines natural landscape features with constructed elements including artworks and visitor facilities along the paths.

The site originated in the early 20th century when Father Henri Gillard connected local Arthurian stories with Christian themes through restoration work. His efforts transformed the area from unnamed woodland into a named cultural location.

The valley carries stories of Morgan le Fay imprisoning knights, which shape how people experience the place today. These Arthurian tales remain woven into the local identity and draw visitors seeking connection to medieval legend.

The site is accessible year-round with parking at the entrance and clear trail markings throughout. Wear sturdy footwear since the ground on walking trails can be uneven and slippery when wet.

Two natural rock formations called the Golden Tree and Fairies Mirror are legendary locations within the valley. Visitors discover these stones while walking and see where the old stories are anchored in the landscape.
