Fontaine de Kerbader & the Nédellec affair

At the end of the path, the Kerbader fountain is hidden. It is said that its water has the virtue of giving strength to children who are slow to walk. Every year, during forgiveness, a procession takes place towards the fountain.

It was here in Kerbader that the Fouesnantais revolt took place at the start of the French Revolution. This revolt marks the start of clashes in Brittany. Alain Nédellec, resident of Fouesnant, was elected justice of the peace in 1790. The latter refused to take office until the patent had been signed by the king, a common practice at the time. Two years later, he still has not agreed to take office. With his supporters, they decide to meet in Kerbader to prepare the revolution.
It was on July 10, 1792 that clashes broke out in the town of Fouesnant. After this battle, the army suffered one death and around thirty wounded. Legend has it that Alain Nédellec shot the guard in the head. On the other hand, for Nédellec and his men the toll was higher: 85 wounded, 5 dead and 23 prisoners, including Nédellec. He finally managed to escape and returned to Fouesnant five months later. A trap is set for him, he is arrested and after weeks of interrogation, he is sentenced to death. This is how on March 23, 1793, he was guillotined in Quimper and would be the only one in Brittany to be guillotined during the French Revolution.
