The forest of Paimpont contains several special trees.
One of them is the hêtre de Ponthus (the beech of the Ponthus), being associated with the tale of Ponthus and Sidonia.

The most famous is an old oak about 1,000 years old and more than 9 meters in circumference: the chêne à Guillotin (the oak of Guillotin), located between Concoret and Tréhorenteuc.
According to a local legend, a refractory priest named Pierre-Paul Guillotin took refuge there during the French Revolution, continued to administer sacraments and blessings in the region, and wrote a valuable journal of revolutionary events.
