Spent almost half a day there photographing the marvellous and varied stone statues spread around the hill, overlooking the surrounding fields. Not all are named, but the map brochure available at the welcome centre makes the installation more clear. Most impressive and well worth spending the time there. By the way, if viewing in summer, take a hat or an umbrella, as it gets quite hot on the hill as there is little shade. Highly recommended!

Fantastic growing collection of monumental sculptures of saints. Many varied styles make each one unique and interesting. Abstract and figurative works really manage to tell a story in stone.
You need to go by the welcome center to pick up the site map otherwise you won't understand much. Especially because some statues don't have the saint name visible or readable anymore. Beautiful location. Can get really hot there as there is no shade.
I was personally surprised of the valley of Saints. Initially I thought there would be about 20-30 statues and it would be a short nice walk, but there are more than 100 statues and you could spend hours looking at all of them. Also, for me it was something of a hidden gem because I only heard about it the fourth time I was in Brittany. The parking is 2 euros and that is also the entrance fee, so it is really worth it.
The valley of saints is a project started a few years ago by a group of local sculptors, whose aim is to create 1000 statues by 2028. It's all about Brittany god's and each statue is made with solid granite from Brittany. The space is huge, outdoor, and offers a beautiful view on surroundings. The visit can take a good 2 to 3 hours, with countless possibilities of good pictures. A must see, when you visit Brittany.
Amazing. Didn't expect anything as much as this. 2 to go in. Stunning statues. Saw some still being made. Great shop.to buy books. Definitely worth visiting.
This is a amazing place. There are 103 statues of mainly saints. The founder would like to have 1000 and is adding more all the time. They are all around in a big set of fields very popular but only 2 euros to park and entrance is free. Nice cafe and toilets.
This place is great! The stone carvings are excellent, nice walk, dogs welcome, shop, cafe and WC. No entry fee, just 2 to park for the day. Well worth a visit.
