Abbaye de Bonrepos walks

Take a short loop around Bon Repos Abbey by following the towpath of the Nantes-Brest canal to the Bellevue lock. The hike continues on theGR®34trail, which runs along the shores of Lake Guerlédan before venturing into the countryside and returning to the abbey.

A short circular walk to discover the covered alleys listed as Historic Monuments, then the Daoulas Gorges in a somewhat wild rocky environment. A complete change of scenery guaranteed. As a bonus, and for a short 1 km detour, I suggest you visit the ruins of Notre-Dame de Bon Repos Abbey.

A superb hike taking place largely through woodland, with magnificent views of the lake from the highest points. Some sections of the trail are quite steep, ideal for a good leg workout, but over short distances. Walking poles may be useful for those less confident on their feet. There are numerous lodges and campsites available for overnight stays. There are seven different starting points; check the lake’s website http://www.lacdeguerledan.com/ for details. The trail is very well signposted with “Sentier de Guerlédan” markers throughout the route and the red and white markings ofthe GR® 341 andGR® 37. A few paths branch off the main trail to stay close to the lake or climb a little higher into the forest, but always rejoin the main trail. Please note! The entire route around the lake is open from 1 March to 15 September. Outside this period, sections of the trail are closed for hunting.

A lovely hike that allows you to discover the shores of Lake Guerlédan. Start at Anse de Sordan and walk back up to Bon Repos Abbey.

The second part of the tour of Lake Guerlédan, the most physically demanding, particularly at the start. Departure from Le Manet towards Anse de Sordan, passing by the former Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bon Repos. Return route via the western side of the lake.
