Paimpont Forest was previously known as the Forest of Broceliande. It is the last remaining part of the ancient forests that once covered Brittany, and is now claimed as the home of Arthur, the wizard Merlin and numerous associated legends.

Located 30 km to the west of Rennes, the forest is usually explored from Paimpont itself, or from Mauron.

Several marked paths lead through the forest, to places with exotic names such as 'Merlin's spring' and the 'valley of no return' (where Merlin's sister traps unfaithful young men, don't say I didn't warn you). If you search hard you could also perhaps find the 'fountain of eternal youth', which would be useful.

You should even be able to amuse the children if you brush up on your Arthurian legends before you set off.

Apart from the pleasures of walks in the forest, Paimpont itself is quite an attractive little town. The abbey in Paimpont is a lovely understated building dating from the 13th century. The rather sombre Chateau de Trécesson can also be seen nearby.
