Things to see and do Rochefort-En-Terre

This monument is one of the most beautiful samples of cross-panels, calvaries carved on its four sides, typical of this part of Brittany. It has three floors of sculptures. On the north-south base, six scenes from Christ's life are displayed (the arrest of Christ or the kiss of Judas, flogging, cross-bearing, crucifixion, descent to Hell and Ascension) and on the barrel you will discover four motifs representing Saint Peter, Saint Paul, Saint John the Baptist and Saint James. This calvary would be the only one in Brittany to symbolize the passion and Ascension of Christ. The nearby church is open during the day.

Located on the former fairground and the current Place Saint-Michel, this chapel is a 17th century work renovated at the beginning of the 20th century. Its location, under the foliage of trees, contributes greatly to its charm. Among the curiosities is a bell dated 1670, where an annual pardon is celebrated every August 15. It can no longer be visited today, but its surroundings are very pleasant.

Two washhouses surround the village of Rochefort-en-Terre. One (rue de l'Étang) is supplied by the brook of the Etang du Moulin-Neuf. Every summer evening, at nightfall, light paths give this washhouse a very special lighting. Next to this communal washhouse, you can see another small washhouse which is private. As for the second one, it is located at the bottom of the Old Town, near the GR38 passage.
