Discover Landebaëron

Travel highlights in Landebaëron include archaeological and religious heritage sites, as well as the Vallée du Perrier, a botanical trail. When deciding where to visit, you can consider whether you would rather focus on monuments and architectural history or give more weight to a hike. The heritage sites’ dates and the details about Boucle PR1 offer concrete points of reference.

Archaeological monuments with their own dates

The Menhir de Menou-Glas is a Neolithic menhir at Lannec-Menou-Glaz in Landebaëron. It has been listed as a historic monument since 28 July 1969. Another archaeological monument is the Allée couverte dite Ros-Vras, which was classified as a historic monument by decree on 23 January 1956. The two monuments can therefore be distinguished by their names, their respective forms of protection and their different dates. If you are interested in the area’s heritage, these details are useful points of reference for telling the monuments apart.

Church, fountains and architectural details

The Église Saint-Maudez features several building phases dating from the 14th to the 18th century. Inside the church is the Donation of the Rosary, a 17th-century oil painting by an unknown artist. The painting is protected as a movable cultural asset under the historic-monument protection scheme in Côtes-d’Armor. The building history and the painting offer different insights into the church: on the one hand, construction phases spanning several centuries; on the other, a single work with its own protected status.

The two fountains at the Fontaine de dévotion Saint-Maudez also date from the 17th century. They are in the village center, about 30 meters southwest of the church, and are flanked by a roadside washhouse. A stone statue of Saint Maudez stands in the niche of the left-hand fountain. The location, washhouse and statue describe the site from different perspectives: the distance situates it in the village center, while the figure is a detail within one of the fountains. A sundial dating from 1697 on a south-facing façade adds another historic date associated with the architectural details.

Compare the routes in the Vallée du Perrier

The Vallée du Perrier is an approximately five-kilometer botanical trail connecting Kermoroc’h and Landebaëron. Within the valley is Boucle PR1, an easy, five-kilometer walking route with a stated duration of one hour and 15 minutes. The distances are similar but differ in precision: the botanical trail’s length is approximate, while Boucle PR1 is specified as five kilometers. The duration and easy rating apply to Boucle PR1. The Puits à balancier, known locally as “le shadouf,” is also on this route.

When planning, you can consider the route length and the specific duration given for Boucle PR1 separately. Route details may be updated by the local tourism authority, so check the current route description before setting out. This keeps the stated duration for PR1 as a separate planning detail, rather than applying it to the entire botanical trail.
