In the heart of the Black Mountains, the Penn ar Pont circuit will take you to Nantes-Brest canal, an integral part of Brittany’s history.

You’ll pass two locks before leaving the tow path and heading in to the countryside around Châteauneuf, with its woodlands and streams. The path then joins up with another trail ‘In the footsteps of Paul Sérusier’, which is dedicated to the painter who lived in Châteauneuf du Faou. You’ll cross a street named after him and discover this painter’s ’green valley’.

La Fontaine Santig Gouenou
La fontaine se trouve dans le bois de Kermoal. Ce Saint est né en Ecosse dans une famille aisée. Fuyant les saxons, il débarque en Bretagne où après 24 années d’épiscopat,il succombera à des blessures causées par un lourd marteau qui le frappera à la tête, le 25octobre 675. On y pratiqua le culte, vraisemblablement jusqu’à la fin du 18ème siècle. Son souvenir sous la forme
d’une dévotion mi-religieuse mi-païenne, persistait encore dans la 1ère moitié du 20ème siècle.
