This perfectly maintained chapel is dedicated to Saint Jaoua, second bishop of Léon. Its enclosure is particularly interesting.

Great, varied trail, partly through forest with a few small roots and also meadow areas. There are a few meters of elevation to overcome.

Very nice trail, partly a wide path and in places a path through nature. It goes up and down a few meters in altitude, which is quite rare in the area.
