Cîme de Kerchouan

This panoramic site dominates the Quintin region at an altitude of 318 metres. The landscape alternates between low moors, peat bogs, fir woods and meadows. But the site is best known for being the watershed between the English Channel and the Atlantic: the Gouët rises here and flows into the Baie de Saint-Brieuc to the north, while the Oust, a tributary of the Vilaine, joins the Atlantic in southern Brittany.

These areas of fragile natural habitats (bats, Quimper snails, muscardin, etc.) are protected by the European Natura 2000 directive.

At the gateway to the Armorican Massif, where legends live on, you may well cross paths with Job Troubardou, the legendary inhabitant of the eponymous farm, a musician and storyteller who sails the Gouët on his stone boat!
