Le Faouët, les vallées de l'Ellé et du Scorff, Trévarez,
Chateauneuf du Faou, la vallée de l'Aulne.

From early on, Faouet and the Morbihan region of Cornouaille have captivated the attention of travellers attracted by the sea.
The costumes, colorful rood-scene and religious festivals found in the Saint-Fiacre chapels along with Sainte-Barbe's magnificent picture frames are guaranteed to enthuse painters. Far from the fury of the waves and thunderstorms, the colourful costumes, rich furniture and the softness of the Scroff valley and l'Elle region induce daydreaming and meditation.
For a time at the end of the 15th century, Faouet and its halls were adorned with works by artists such as Germain David-Nillet, Arthur Midy and Marius Borgeaud. Since 1987, the Faouet museum has been housed in the old Ursuline convent.

The museum's collection is evidence of Brittany's rural appeal to many artists including Sydney Curnow Vosper, Oscar Chauvaux, Yvonne Jean-Haffen, Arthur Midy, Charles Riviere and Germain David-Nilet who still plays an important role in the development of Faouet's pictorial nucleus.
