Magnifique lever de soleil sur les Monts d'Arrée, le Mont-Saint-Michel de Brasparts et la chapelle Saint-Michel enveloppés par la brume du petit matin.

The Arrée Mountains, one of Brittany’s highest peaks

This 148,000-acre nature park is dotted with pines, heather, rocky ridges and lakes and marks the border between the areas of Léon and Cornouaille. The landscapes are unique, revealing a wild and untamed Finistère where the rare beauty of nature is preserved, making it ideal for sporting activities and recharging your batteries. Hikers can admire the scenery along the 24 circuits that wind their way through the Arrée Mountains, including the GR® de Pays des Monts d’Arrée, a 240-km loop through the Armorique Regional Nature Park. The Montagne Saint-Michel (381 m), the Roc’h Trézevel (384 m), Ruz (385 m) and Trédudon (385 m) offer spectacular views of these mesmerising peat-bog and moorland landscapes.

The Arrée Mountains Ecomuseum

A blend of nature and traditional heritage, this regional museum invites visitors to discover rural life through two remarkable sites in the heart of the Arrée Mountains.

At Commana, the village of Kerouat nestles in a lush natural setting. Superbly preserved, it tells the story of daily life of millers in the 1880s, seen through the eyes of the Fagot family. 

Then, located on the edge of the village of Saint-Rivoal, you’ll find Maison Cornec, built in 1702 by Yvon Cornec and his wife Anne Broustal. A stable, sheepfold, cowshed and bread oven adjoin the house. The stone farmhouse has been perfectly preserved in its original state, with its earthen floor, and gives an idea of what it was like for a wealthy farming family of the 1700s in the heart of the Arrée Mountains.
