Description of the walk

Start: Small square behind Sainte-Avoye chapel
_ Waymarkers_: Follow the yellow signs.

(S/E) From the small square behind the chapel, head for the coastal path. Go down to the point...

(1) Turn left (view of the Sal (or Bono) river)

(2) At the end of the small dike (hamlet of En Ty Nuhuy), follow the coastal path to the right for 2km. The path then leaves the Sal estuary to skirt a small mudflat at Anse de Tenno. Leave the path and head up a wide path lined with embankments.

(3) At the road, go right for 800m.

_ Nature trail _: possible shortcut back to Sainte-Avoye. At the road, turn right and then immediately left towards Bransquel. Continue as far as the hamlet of Travaux. At the bottom, on the left, find the dike to return to Sainte-Avoye. This dyke regulates the inflow of water into the coastal marsh and estuary of the Rivière du Rohu, which crosses the commune from north to south. This reedbed is home to the white-spotted coot, moorhen, mallard, heron and white egret.

(4) Turn left to Kerhel (Ker-Huel, the upper village), a peaceful hamlet overlooking Le Rohu, where a few thatched-roof houses remain. Follow the path down into the Rohu valley.

(5) At the crossroads, turn left to return to Sainte-Avoye (S/E).

Possibility of visiting a communal wash-house before continuing: turn right up the road for 20m. Before the 1st house on the left of the Kerizan hamlet, take the small path on the left.

In the nearby area

The 16th-century Sainte-Avoye chapel, listed as a Monument Historique, features a Renaissance rood screen in polychrome oak, entirely carved. Open from time to time (information available from the tourist office).

Where the path passes through the wooded slopes, opposite stands the Moulin de Pont Sal, a tidal mill dating from the 2nd half of the 19th century.

This coastal wet moor, rare in the Gulf of Morbihan, is composed of gorse, heather and mullein, a grass that indicates the presence of permanent water.
Soft and low-lying, it represents what rural moors were like until the early 20th century. Indispensable to farmers, they provided grazing for livestock, firewood and bedding.
