What to do in Lignol
Visit the chapel of Saint-Yves
This is the largest chapel in Lignol. According to the story, Saint Yves was returning from Bubry, a neighbouring village, when he saw a religious house in flames. With a simple sign of the cross in the direction of the building, he managed to extinguish the fire. To pay tribute to him, a chapel was built on the site of this prodigy!
Today, Saint-Yves chapel can be visited for its pretty bell tower, inspired by that of Notre-Dame de Kernascéden church, and its sandpits.
Hiking on the Marie Chon trail
In the mood for a hike? Then the Marie Chon trail is for you! Set off on a 13 km wooded walk past the ruins of the house of the famous Mari Chon. But who was she?
This widow, deprived of her children, chose to settle in the forest to avoid the inhabitants of Lignol because she was uncomfortable in society. She lived there between 1912 and 1954. This desire to live apart, her appearance, her petty thefts and her status as a water vendor at pardons earned her a reputation as a "witch"!
Discover Château du Coscro
This classical-style château was built by the Lantivy family of 17th-century parliamentarians.
Since 1984, Coscro has been undergoing a period of restoration that has restored the original garden. The exterior can only be visited for part of the year. Find out when they are open.
The gardens are also open during the Lieux Mouvants cultural festival.
Lignol pond
A pretty little pond nestles in the heart of Lignol. It's the perfect place for a family outing and a spot of fishing!
Young and old alike will be delighted to sit down around the picnic table on the little peninsula to enjoy some simple, friendly moments.
Once you've devoured your sandwiches, take a stroll through the village of Lignol, stopping to look at the interpretation panels that tell you all about the Lignol of yesteryear.
