Ambon walks

Nestled at the head of the Rivière de Pénerf, the village of Ambon sits on the first rise above the marshes. This route allows you to explore the local area along a path that alternates between wooded countryside and marshes. Given the condition of the paths at the time of our visit (May), it seems best to tackle this circular route outside of wet periods.

A short, relaxing stroll along the Morbihan coast, returning via the inland route. No difficulty apart from a bit of mud on the northern section in wet weather.

Finally! After years of land negotiations, the elected representatives of Muzillac have succeeded in bringing to fruition a project that has been in the works for more than a decade: creating a footpath that goes all the way around the Étang de Pen Mur. This long stretch of water, held back by the Moulin de Pen Mur dam, occupies the bottom of the valley where the Ruisseau de Saint-Éloi stream used to flow. It is now possible to walk along the lake to the Chapelle du Moustéro chapel and return via the other bank. Although the eastern bank is less wooded than its counterpart, the entire route runs under the canopy of trees that line the banks of the lake. And the icing on the cake is that the improvements made, which are fairly minor and will soon be invisible, have preserved natural sections and stairways that prevent motorised vehicles and even mountain bikes from using the path. Walkers, grab your walking sticks!

A beautiful walk along the banks of the Vilaine and inland.

A pretty walk between the countryside and the seaside. The Pointe de Penn Lann stands guard over the Vilaine Estuary.

Cycling tour on the Rhuys Peninsula, via cycle paths and routes, with virtually no roads. Accessible to all, no technical difficulty. Pass through the woods and marshes to reach the ocean.

A short walk that circles the pretty little Pénerf Peninsula.Warning! According to a hiker, the path is currently closed beyond the Tour des Anglais.(It seems you can continue by heading inland. Happy walking!)

This is a circular route running along one side of the Étier de Billiers, Plage des Barges and Plage des Granges, not forgetting a walk around the Penn Lann Lighthouse. In a single day, you can combine sightseeing, swimming and a walk, either on your own or with the family. The trail follows, for the most part, the Chemin des Mégalithes between the marshes and the ocean.

Walk along the edge of the marshes and oyster farms on the edge of the Rhuys peninsula. The route follows theGR® 34 on the "Tour du Parc" peninsula.

As is often the case in Brittany, the Noyal-Muzillac area has a hollow relief, in which streams of varying sizes have carved out their beds. The proposed route plays leapfrog over the Tohon and the Pont Pily and Pont Noyal streams. In between, it climbs back up to the top of the relief to visit a few villages with beautiful architectural heritage.

Stage of the 5-day tour of the Rhuys Peninsula. After walking along the coast, you’ll discover the countryside and wetlands around Sarzeau. Be sure to stop off at Suscinio Castle, the former estate of the Dukes of Brittany, which is situated in a natural area rich in biodiversity. This castle is a must-see in Morbihan.

The Pointe du Halguen marks the southern limit of the Vilaine estuary. This promontory overlooking the ocean is also the northern end of the ochre cliffs that line the ocean front of Pénestin. A lovely walk is available around the village of Haut Pénestin, where long stretches of sandy beach precede secluded coves and abandoned salt marshes.

This is a lovely country walk starting from Berric. From the first hills overlooking (slightly) the Gulf of Morbihan and the Vilaine estuary at the bottom of the valleys that criss-cross this wooded landscape, the proposed route winds its way along delightful tree-lined paths enhanced by the colours of autumn. But they must be pleasant in all seasons!

This hike starts at the car park of the Mine d’Or beach, along the coast north to Haut-Pénestin, to return by internal paths to reach the sea at Maresclé beach and then the starting point.

As well as its magnificent coastal path stretching over 14 km, Pénestin boasts a multitude of trails criss-crossing the local area. The circular route allows you to explore some of these paths as far as the edge of the Pont Mahé Marshes, before returning to the coast via the coastal path. And if the weather and season permit, do make the most of the lovely beaches that line this route.

In Pénestin, far from the hustle and bustle of the coast, you can stroll in complete tranquillity along quiet paths that criss-cross the countryside between the Tréhudal marshes and those of Pont Mahé. This walk is best enjoyed on sunny days, when it’s pleasant to walk in the shade.
