Things to see and do

A beautiful heritage to visit: The Church of St. Samson (XVI ) and its stained glass windows, renovated, evoke the story of a Breton named Tihel Lord, from Helléan.

The cross of Penlan ( nineteenth ), home of The Valley (XVII ), the fountain of St Samson (XVII ) path Dava...

But Helléan is best known for its superb landscaping and natural... The third of the town is covered with wood and undergrowth, and is bordered to the east by the river " Ninian " a unique environment that attracts many nature lovers !
