Viewpoint over the Stangala valley, at the bottom of which the Odet flows, just before arriving in Quimper. It takes its name from "stankenn" which means "valley" in Breton and from Saint Alar, a very popular patron saint in the Quimper region.

A fabulous vantage point overlooking the wooded valley, which from here upstream is also referred to as a gorge. No sounds of civilization spoil the experience. In dry weather, the rocks offer a perfect resting place.
