The Valley of No Return: Morgane’s Domain
Welcome to the Valley of No Return, a place steeped in mystery, where Morgane, the bewitching fairy, has been trapping unfaithful lovers for centuries...
This steep, wooded valley is marked by a disturbing legend: Morgane, King Arthur's half-sister and a powerful sorceress, is said to have bewitched this place to lock up men guilty of inconstancy in love. Only Lancelot du Lac, a faithful knight, managed to break the spell and free the captives.

The Golden Tree: Guardian of the Forest
Along the paths of the Val sans Retour, you will be fascinated by a mysterious tree with golden reflections, standing proudly in the heart of the forest.
The Golden Tree, a sculptural work by François Davin, was erected in 1991 in homage to the forest of Brocéliande, ravaged by a fire. This immortal tree, covered in gold leaves, symbolizes resilience and the protection of nature. Its brilliance contrasts with the charred trees that surround it, offering a striking spectacle.
The storytellers will reveal the hidden meanings of this emblematic work, mixing art, spirituality and magic. This place, at the crossroads of the real world and the marvelous, is an invitation to contemplation and respect for the natural forces that govern Brocéliande.
A suspended moment, where we become aware that the forest also has a soul...
The Fairy Mirror: Water of Enchantments
In a green setting, a peaceful pond seems to hide a well-kept secret: it is whispered that fairies still live there...
The Fairy Mirror, with its shimmering waters, is the scene of many legends. In the past, seven benevolent fairies watched over this sacred place. They offered help and protection to lost travelers, but their fragile world was disturbed by men… Even today, when the wind brushes the surface of the water, it is said that one can see their reflection.
During this captivating stopover, let yourself be carried away by the story of these luminous beings. Tales and mysteries intertwine, transporting you to a universe where magic is omnipresent.
Silence reigns, disturbed only by the gentle lapping of the water... Listen, feel... Perhaps you will meet the gaze of a fairy?
