Kerbraz moorland route

Park at the Saint-Jacques de Crann Chapel.

(S/E) You begin this route by exploring the Saint-Jacques de Crann Chapel, dating from^{the 18th} century. Sheltered by the beautiful yew tree on the esplanade, don’t miss the unobtrusive flat cross, which is a former menhir that has been Christianised. Then walk down the road to the right for 200 metres, then turn left onto a farm track. Turn right onto a small path until you reach the road overlooking the remarkable Tallen washhouse.

(1) Take the road to the left, then turn right to pass through the hamlet of Tallen Crann with its pretty cut-stone houses. Continue straight on towards the hamlet of Poulmain, the site of a former resistance hideout where four patriots lost their lives.

(2) Carry on straight towards Kerecorde, then, at the end, turn left onto the road and take the small path on the right as you leave the hamlet. You’ll come to the road that used to lead to the many granite quarries.

(3) Turn left, then immediately right onto an uphill path. Cross a field surrounded by a magnificent dry-stone wall, then follow a path to the water tower.

(4) Walk down the small road for about 100 m and turn right onto a path through the woodland. Follow the wide path until you reach the road.

(5) Turn right at the fork, then keep left until you reach a road. Turn left to walk through the hamlet of Bourron,where you’ll see many renovated stone houses.

(6) Continue downhill straight ahead. You’ll also pass the old Saint-Gildas Chapel, marked by a wooden portico supporting the bell. 200 m after the hamlet, leave the road and take the path on the left.

(7) At the top of the path, turn left onto a track. At the junction after a short descent, keep left onto the track and stay on it until you reach the hamlet of Crann and the Saint-Jacques Chapel (S/E).

- The Saint-Jacques Chapel was built in^{the 17th} century but was destroyed during the Revolution. The present building dates from^{the 19th} century and incorporates materials reused from the original structure. It stands in the centre of the hamlet of Crann, within an enclosure planted with trees. The wooden statue of Saint James, situated in the outer niche of the sacristy, suggests that this chapel was once located on the edge of a path formerly used by pilgrims.

- The Tallen washhouse consists of a double basin lined with monolithic washstones. A small monolithic basin with a drainage channel feeds a large, partially cemented trapezoidal basin. In the embankment, the spring that supplies the washhouse consists of a simple masonry opening: a pile of stones bordering a square cavity.

- Poulmain War Memorial: In 1964, a war memorial was erected in the hamlet of Poulmain. It was erected to honour the memory of four patriots shot on 10 February 1944; it is one of the many sites of execution and remembrance found throughout the department. It consists of a white, cross-shaped stele on which their surnames, first names and ages are engraved.
