Bretagne/Brittany. Finistère, Huelgoat

Huelgoat is popular due to its impressive natural setting among the vestiges of the ancient forest that once covered most of Brittany. It has an area of 10 square kilometres.

 

The village lies on a lake created between the 16th and 18th centuries to supply water to local silver-lead mines by means of a 3 km (1.9 mi) leat or canal.
