About Les Forges des Salles

The Forges des Salles is a fascinating historical site in Brittany, France, located near Pontivy, on the border between Morbihan and Côtes-d'Armor. It was originally an ironworking village, thriving from the 17th to 19th centuries, thanks to the abundant charcoal resources from the surrounding Quénécan Forest.

Today, the site is remarkably well-preserved, offering visitors a glimpse into industrial life from centuries past. You can explore the blast furnace, worker cottages, chapel, canteen, and even the forge master's residence. The entire village is now classified as a National Historic Monument, making it a unique place to visit.
