Valley of Saints, Monumental granite statues collection in Carnoët, France.

The Valley of Saints displays 200 tall granite sculptures depicting Breton saints across an elevated site offering views of central Brittany.

The site incorporates a feudal mound with an ancient chapel and holds archaeological significance dating back to medieval fortifications.

Local sculptors create representations of religious figures who traveled from Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall to spread Christianity throughout Brittany.

The outdoor exhibition remains open year-round with free access, and visitors can obtain guides containing detailed maps to identify each statue.

The project aims to install 1000 granite statues over five decades, with new sculptures added through annual workshops from May to October.
