A four-hour circular route and an early medieval fortified site offer different starting points for planning a trip to Mohon: the Circuit des Rouets runs through the village, while ditches, a castle mound and an outer bailey remain at Camp des Rouëts. You can choose between a hike with a stated duration and historic traces in the landscape. Chapels, the 17th-century Maison du Sénéchal and a medieval cross add to the area’s history.

Compare hikes and routes

The 15-kilometre Circuit des Rouets circular route from Destination Brocéliande runs through Mohon and offers a four-hour hike of moderate difficulty. The distance, duration and difficulty provide different points of reference for planning your day: the distance indicates the route’s length, the four hours help you estimate the time required, and the moderate difficulty helps you assess the hike. Check trail conditions before setting out, as they can change.

The VP26 Mohon–La Trinité-Porhoët circular route starts at the car park by Mohon town hall. Check the starting arrangements before your hike, as they may change. The two routes offer different planning reference points: the hiking time and difficulty help you choose the Circuit des Rouets, while the starting point provides a clear point of reference for the VP26. You can base your choice on whether a circular route with a stated duration or a clearly defined starting point is more important to you.

Camp des Rouëts

Camp des Rouëts is a wooded area with the surviving remains of an early medieval fortified site. These include remnants of the ditches, the former castle mound and the outer bailey. The terms refer to different parts of the site and draw attention to the layout of the fortification, rather than just a single remnant. The fortified site probably dates from the 10th century and was associated with the lords of Bodieu.

Camp des Rouëts is freely accessible and has a car park. Access information may change; check it before your visit.

Chapels and historic buildings

The Chapelle Saint-Marc (Chapel Sant Mark) was probably built in 1635 by the lords of Bodegat. A pardon once held at the chapel developed into a three-day horse fair. These are two distinct aspects of its history: a cautiously dated construction and the evolution of an earlier festival.

The Chapelle Saint-Joseph (Chapel Sant Jozeb) is in Ville Jaudouin, Mohon, and was built in 1626. The Maison du Sénéchal (Ostel ar Senechal) dates from 1653 and was built using stones from Bodegat Castle.

The Croix de l'Iff (Kroaz an Ivinenn) dates from the Middle Ages. Its broad dating contrasts with the construction dates of 1626 and 1653 and the probable date of 1635. The Notre-Dame-des-Tertres church is also in Mohon.
