An easy five-kilometre walking route, with a stated duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes, offers a clearly defined stroll in Landebaëron. There are also Neolithic monuments and the Église Saint-Maudez, with its artistic and architectural details. For planning your trip, the distinction is useful: the Boucle PR1 can be assessed by distance and time, while the historic sites offer different subjects and periods. You can therefore decide first whether a walking route or the cultural heritage is the main draw.

Prehistory: two types of monument

The Menhir de Menou-Glas is a Neolithic menhir in Lannec-Menou-Glaz, in Landebaëron. It has been listed as a historic monument since 28 July 1969. The Allée couverte dite Ros-Vras is also Neolithic; it was classified as a historic monument by decree dated 23 January 1956.

These are two prehistoric monuments with different forms and heritage designations. The menhir is listed, with the date of listing specified, while the covered passage is classified by decree. Those interested in cultural heritage can consider the two monuments as distinct subjects rather than grouping them together as a single, generic attraction.

Vallée du Perrier: botanical trail and Boucle PR1

The Vallée du Perrier is a botanical trail of about five kilometres linking Kermoroc’h and Landebaëron. The Boucle PR1 is located in the Vallée du Perrier: an easy walking route, also five kilometres long, with a stated duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The similar distance does not necessarily refer to the same thing: one is the botanical trail, the other the Boucle PR1, with its own stated duration. For planning your time, you can use the route’s stated duration as a guide.

The Puits à balancier on the Boucle PR1 is known locally as “le shadouf”. Check the local tourist office’s current route information before setting out.

Church, fountains and paintings

The Église Saint-Maudez bears witness to several building phases between the 14th and 18th centuries. The church houses the Donation du rosaire, a 17th-century oil painting by an unknown artist. The work is protected as a movable cultural asset under the heritage-protection provisions of Côtes-d’Armor.

The two fountains at the Fontaine de dévotion Saint-Maudez also date from the 17th century. They are in the centre of the village, about 30 metres southwest of the church, and are flanked by a washhouse beside the road. A stone statue of Saint Maudez in the niche of the left-hand fountain preserves the link with the site’s name.

The dates represent different time spans: the church comprises several building phases across several centuries, while the fountains and painting date to the 17th century. Together with the Neolithic monuments, they reveal a broad span of time, highlighting the distinction between prehistoric monument types, the history of church construction and individual works of art.
