The Sacred Trail in Douarnenez Bay

A total of 14 stops, each separate from the other, tell a collective story of legends, religious traditions and popular folk tales from Brittany. Each monument provides an opportunity to discuss the architecture itself, as well as what it tells us about the beliefs of the men and women who built it so long ago.
