The Historic Maison Cornec

The Maison Cornec, a significant part of the Ecomusée des Monts d'Arrée, is located in the heart of the Monts d'Arrée, near the Yeun Elez peat bog. Built in 1702, it is part of a farm complex that includes stables, sheepfolds, and bread ovens. Walking trails lead through apple orchards to a fountain and into a valley. The house has retained its original features, including its beaten earth floor, wooden shutters, and traces of cohabitation between humans and animals.

Discovering Rural Life at the Hamlet of Kerouat

The hamlet of Kerouat, part of the Ecomusée des Monts d'Arrée, is a place to discover the rural life of the past. Built between the 17th and 20th centuries, this miller's village, uninhabited since 1965, is a testament to what rural life used to be. The hamlet is also a popular place for walks among visitors. The two water mills form the heart of the place, surrounded by two furnished houses, two bakeries, stables, barns, an orchard, a vegetable garden, wooded plots, and others with crop samples.
