Landivisiau: discover a Breton town between history and nature
Less than a 40-minute drive from the Barracuda & Spa Hotel**** in Brest, the charming town of Landivisiau offers a getaway rich in discoveries. A former capital of the Breton horse industry, it now captivates visitors with its diverse heritage and natural spaces perfect for strolling.
Among the monuments not to be missed during your discovery of Landivisiau: the superb Saint-Thivisiau fountain, a historic gem nestled below the church square.
Just descend a few steps along the eponymous street to reach it.
Ten Kersanton stone panels, finely carved in a Gothic style, adorn the fountain wall: angels, monks, religious scenes, and more.
The details are striking, even if their exact origin remains a mystery.
Right next door, a long washhouse covered with a glass roof leads you to the Xavier Grall Library in a bucolic and relaxing setting.
Next stop: the Saint-Thivisiau church and its south porch inspired by parish enclosures, or the Sainte-Anne chapel, built in the 17th century.
These buildings bear witness to the region's spiritual and artistic past.
Another must-see: the Créac'h Kelen manor.
This splendid building has been converted into a cultural space and opens onto a magnificent two-hectare landscaped park, perfect for a peaceful stroll just a stone's throw from the town center.
For nature lovers, head to the Quillivaron Valley, below the Coat-Meur woods.
Numerous marked trails await you for an invigorating walk through woods, streams, and meadows.
Want to explore Landivisiau? An 11 km loop (approximately 3 hours 20 minutes) allows you to alternate between sunken paths and peaceful discoveries at the pace of inland Brittany.
Back in Brest, you'll enjoy the comfort and tranquility of the Appart Hôtel Barracuda & Spa to conclude this charming day.
