Saint-Sauveur woods

Once a single piece of land, cut in two by the Lorient-Roscoff road in the 1980s, the communal wood of Saint-Sauveur was once a vast moorland of some 30 hectares called “Lande du Prince”, probably in reference to the Dukes of Brittany, who held the Breton lands in the Middle Ages. Gradually wooded over the course of the 20th century, it is home, like Coët Fao wood, to local species and planted pines.
