Roscouëdo Catchment

This is the highest point in the village. Rising to 171 metres, it offers a fine view over the bocage. The ancient Bocadé moor that you've just crossed has been planted with various species, as it lies within a drinking water catchment area, declared to be of public interest by prefectorial decree in 1997. Woods were planted to improve water quality, following the closure of the Roscouëdo water production plant in 1996 due to high nitrate levels. As you approach the village, you'll see the small factory building, installed on the old village spring and fountain in the 1970s-1980s.
