Berric walks

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!

The landscape around Questembert is characterised by wooded, steep-sided valleys through which pretty streams flow. For a long time, these streams powered a multitude of mills, which you can discover along the route, between two breaks in the rich countryside criss-crossed by beautiful tree-lined paths. As for the popinettes, perhaps we passed them without knowing what they were!

La Vraie-Croix comes from the Breton "Lan Groez" (cross of the moor). A lovely walk that allows you to discover the countryside around the very pretty village of La Vraie-Croix.

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.

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!

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 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.

A pleasant circular walk in natural surroundings, featuring two unmarked forest trails, which are maintained in particular by joggers. This walk is best done in calm weather, due to the risk of falling trees and branches. When hiking the trail for the first time, if you do not know the route, the use of a GPS device is strongly recommended. Prepare yourself by reading the description and consulting the map; familiarise yourself with the location of the route in relation to the terrain and the road network; check that it is generally close by and accessible by staying on the path.The original route (2015) was slightly modified in March 2023 due to fallen trees. The route was last checked on 16 June 2025 (description updated) and 17 November 2025 (confirmation of no changes).

Located on the edge of the southernmost fold of the Landes de Lanvaux, the village of Limerzel overlooks a wide valley where the Trévelo and Pinieux streams converge. The former has carved out a sort of gorge at the bottom of which it meanders, downstream from the Saint-Clair Chapel. The proposed route allows you to discover a very unspoilt corner of the countryside and many elements of rural heritage.

Hézo is not just a white church on the banks of the Rivière de Noyalo. It is above all a territory that is half land, half sea, located deep in the Gulf of Morbihan. Between the pieces of land surrounded by water at high tide and the forests of oak and maritime pine, there is room for a beautiful walk with woody and salty scents. Please note: during high tides or very wet weather, some sections along the edge of the gulf may be difficult to access.

A short walk around the pretty little peninsula of Pénerf.Please note: according to a hiker, the path is currently closed after the Tour des Anglais.(It seems that you can continue by taking the inland route. Happy walking!)

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.

A country walk between Cosca, a stone's throw from the Arzal dam, and the Templar village of Lantiern.This walk along beautiful tree-lined paths and a few small roads connects the banks of the Vilaine estuary to the beautiful Saint-Jean-Baptiste Chapel, through pleasantly rolling countryside.The end of the route follows the botanical trail.The trail has been modified after the point (1), following the clear-cutting of the wooded area it used to cross, which made the trail disappear.

The village of Arzal stretches from the foot of the church's pointed bell tower to the edge of the dam. Upstream, the river has become a huge body of water where thousands of boats are moored, while downstream, the maritime character of the estuary remains. The proposed route allows you to discover both aspects of the river and the bocage that overlooks it.

During this hike, discover a variety of landscapes: the river, the ocean and the countryside.

Running along the left bank of the Vilaine, this path follows the riverbank closely, linking the two ports of Arzal and La Roche-Bernard, and offering a multitude of landscapes and views of the Basse-Vilaine. In summer, you can also return by boat or canoe.

A short, easy walk along the south coast of Sarzeau, overlooking the ocean and the tip of "Penvins" ("Pointe de Penvins"). Extensive views out to sea, with the islands of Belle-Île, Houat and Hoedic to the east.
