サン・アヴェの湖・トップ7

Small lake with an information board.

Very pretty pond with a very special atmosphere. It was the pond of the Lestrenig manor.

A good place to follow the play of the tides

The cove of Mancel includes an island, the island of Mancel. The villages of Mousterian and Montsarrac are located on either side of the cove. It is almost completely emerged at low tide and totally submerged during high tides. It is rich in eelgrass which attract waterfowl, such as geese, shelducks, swans and egrets. The sacred ibis is also common there since its accidental introduction into the gulf.

This immense expanse of water, 10 hectares and 2 to 3 meters deep, would probably be an old quarry from which the stones necessary for the construction of the first Gallo-Roman city were extracted, at the time when Vannes was still called Dariorithum. In addition, a legend is also attached to this body of water, that of a tragic story of a soldier in love with a mermaid. https://www.vannes-bretagne-sud.bzh/

This seemingly natural lake was actually built by monks in the 12th century and is great to run around in - thank you monks!

This pond is bordered by a path. Ideal for a walk. It also hosts the La cave au grenier festival every year on the first weekend of October with a storytelling walk around the pond that will tell you the story of the Gourvinec mill, followed by a tasting of freshly baked bread rolls. from the oven ; from 2 p.m., practical workshops.
