Château de Comper (Centre de l'Imaginaire Arthurien)
Château de Comper
A lakeside castle said to be the crystal palace of the Lady of the Lake, housing the Arthurian Imagination Centre, with storytelling guided tours in summer.
The Château de Comper stands on the shore of Lake Comper, and legend says it was the underwater palace where the Lady of the Lake, Viviane, raised Lancelot. Much of the castle was destroyed during the French Revolution, and the surviving sections now house the Arthurian Imagination Centre, which presents exhibitions on the Knights of the Round Table and the Holy Grail each year. In summer, forest guided tours feature storytelling. It is generally open from April to October, admission is about €10, and it is closed in winter. The castle is near the village of Concoret, about 8 km from Paimpont.
