Discover Pont-Scorff

If you’re looking for a hotel in Pont-Scorff, it helps to decide in advance what you want to focus on during your trip: historic buildings and arts and crafts sit alongside contemporary art, species conservation and activities centred on wetlands. These different themes give you practical pointers for deciding whether you’re mainly interested in culture, nature or a hike.

Arts and crafts and architectural history

The Cour des Métiers d’Art invites visitors throughout the year to admire creations by around 100 selected craftspeople from across France. The exhibition and the participating craftspeople may change. The municipality of Pont-Scorff is also home to around 25 craftspeople; this approximate number may change over time. Their workshop shops are spread across the village and can be explored within a 300-metre radius. These figures describe different groups: around 100 refers to the selection from across France, while approximately 25 refers to craftspeople based in Pont-Scorff. Individual workshop locations may also change. So, if you have a particular workshop shop in mind, check the latest information.

The Maison des Princes dates from the early 16th century and has been classified as a historic monument since 1932. At the Chapelle Saint-Aubin in Lesbin, the choir and transept date from the first half of the 14th century. These dates refer to different buildings and architectural features: two specific parts of the chapel are dated, while the Maison des Princes as a whole is assigned to the early 16th century. This gives you two distinct historical points of interest.

Contemporary art and species conservation

The Atelier d’Estienne is a contemporary art centre managed by the cultural department of the town of Pont-Scorff. It focuses on painting, sculpture, video, photography and installations. Contemporary art therefore offers a different focus from historic buildings and arts and crafts. When considering which themes you want your trip to revolve around, you can treat this as a distinct cultural aspect without conflating it with architectural history.

Les Terres de Nataé is a wildlife park dedicated to the conservation of the most endangered species. The visitor experience puts species conservation and animal welfare at its heart and provides information about ecological challenges. Its focus is therefore on endangered species and ecological issues. The fish migration monitoring station at the Moulin des Princes is open to the public. Fish caught there include, in particular, salmon, trout, eels, shad and lampreys—a specific point of interest for anyone interested in fish migration.

Circular walking route and wetlands

The Circuit de St Urchaut circular walking route is 13 kilometres long and takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The approximate duration and route length give you a concrete basis for estimating how much time to set aside for this walk. A large-scale treasure hunt along the banks of the Scave and the Scorff introduces visitors to wetlands and their biodiversity. This gives you two different ways to explore the landscape: a circular route with a specified distance and approximate duration, or a treasure hunt focused on wetlands and biodiversity. Access conditions for the treasure hunt may change; check them before your visit.
