Description of the walk

Start from the small car park opposite the stadium on the Scaër road.

(S/E) From the car park, take Rue de Scaër to the right and immediately turn right into the first street on the right. Go around a left-hand bend, then a right-hand bend to enter a path on the left.

(1) Cross a river and turn right onto the road.

(2) Turn left onto the path and follow the road to the left.

(3) Go straight ahead at the crossroads and take the path opposite, leaving a path on your left, and before the river, follow the path on the left (which is not shown on IGN or OpenStreetMap maps). Follow this path along the river and you will come to the D6, which you should follow for a few dozen metres on your left.

(4) Turn right onto the road, continue for about 100 metres and stay on the road on the left. Take the path that runs to the right and stay on the one that branches off to the left. Continue along this path to pass near Moulin Richet.

(5) Follow the Isole and pass Moulin Neuf, where you will find a road to follow.

(6) Just before reaching the crossroads, take the hairpin bend path on the left and pass the Quilos hamlet, keeping to the left. Continue along the path, then follow it to the right and continue until you reach the Scaër road. Follow this road for 100 metres to find the car park on the left (S/E).

A very pleasant and easy hike to point 6. From there, the directions are insufficient and do not correspond to the markings on the ground. The place called Quilos is not very visible and cannot be used as a landmark. More specifically, from point 6 and just after the hairpin bend, take the path that climbs immediately to the left (follow the yellow markings until you reach your destination). After this short climb, you will come to a wider path. Take this path on the left, then take the first path that descends to the left. Follow it until you reach a sign indicating "Le Bourg", which climbs to the right. This will take you to the departmental road. Follow it to the right to reach the car park (S/E) on the left.

Hello, much more difficult because it's very challenging, as it goes up and down constantly. In addition, very poor signage, very few directions, but a beautiful hike.

A beautiful hike, mostly through woods and sunken paths, which partly follows the mountain bike route no. 1 marked in red and the hiking route marked in yellow. Some sections along the banks of the Isole are more difficult.

A beautiful, refreshing hike through the forest and along the banks of the Isole, which could be classified as "moderately difficult".
The mills along the banks of the Isole give us an idea of the hard work of the millers of yesteryear.
The forest of tall fir trees is magnificent.
Thank you for this suggestion.

A beautiful hike along wide paths through the undergrowth.
In the description in points 1 and 4, the "rivers" are more like streams.
The route is not marked, so it is easier to follow the route on a smartphone using the Visirando app.
