Located in the heart of Brittany in Carnoët, the Vallée des Saints is a contemporary cultural and artistic site which will host, in 2024, nearly 200 monumental works in Breton granite bearing the effigy of the saints who have left their mark on Brittany.
According to legend, Brittany venerates more than 1,000 Breton saints, but only 700 are listed because not all of them are "homologated", that is to say officially recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. It is estimated that there are about 800 saints in Brittany according to the most reserved historians, up to 1,500 for the most optimistic.
So there is still a lot to do in the Vallée des Saints.
