About Tombe de Merlin

The tomb of Merlin was located in the Paimpont forest of Brittany. Like all characters from mythology, Merlin has an extraordinary conception: he is the son of the devil and of a pure young girl. The three slabs of red schist from the Tombeau de Merlin have been planted for several thousand years in the land of Brocéliande, to the north-east of the forest. Thousands of visitors come there every year.
