Located not far from Quimper in western France’s Brittany region, Paimpont Forest is one of the largest temperate forests in the Brittany province. Its diverse flora, oddly shaped tree trunks, and mysterious atmosphere lead locals to associate it with Brocéliande Forest from the legend of King Arthur.
