Guingamp Labyrinth is a labyrinth installation in Cotes-d'Armor, Brittany, France. The design is a medieval chartres layout with 11 circuits, 12 walls, built of tile. Documented age: Medieval (recreated) (Medieval design). Current condition: restored. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours (French: Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours de Guingamp) is located in the town of Guingamp, in Brittany, France. The labyrinth pattern occurs nowhere in nature; every documented instance traces back to a human hand. The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date. The labyrinth tradition spans at least 4,000 years of documented practice across northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, North America, and the Indian subcontinent.

The unicursal design — one entrance, one path, one centre — distinguishes the labyrinth from a maze, which contains choices and dead-ends; the labyrinth never branches.
