Circular from Saint-Jacques Chapel via Lanleff Temple

Thank you for your feedback. This walk should be done between May and October due to the many muddy sections. That's how I do it every year.
I have amended the description accordingly.
Thank you for your contribution.

The Saint-Jacques Chapel and Lanleff Temple are indeed beautiful monuments... easily accessible by car...
The walk through unremarkable countryside and some undergrowth did not thrill me.
The paths were very muddy in several places, even completely submerged, admittedly in March, but after five days without rain.

There were few signposts, but that wasn't a problem with the Visorando app downloaded onto my smartphone.
Beautiful paths, relatively easy to walk on despite the season.

Very pleasant, easy route with shaded sections.

Hello,
We only did part of the hike because we got lost at point 1, where we went down towards the Leff and crossed it on a bridge before realising that it wasn't the right way down or the right bridge. So, after turning back, we just went to Lanleff Temple and back because we didn't have enough time.
The mistake was made at point 1, where you leave the farm track and turn right onto a small path through the woods. The red and white markings for the GR 34A are almost completely faded (you can just about make out the red part but nothing of the white line), even when pushing aside the tall grass (in May).
Perhaps point 1 should be clarified: after about 150-200 metres, stop following the farm track and turn right...
Otherwise, what we saw of the hike made us want to return and visit the temple with Jean, with whom we had a long chat, and book an evening at the Thai restaurant in Treméven.
Thank you for your work.

Hello,
The route is very easy and very pleasant.
I did this route in April 2023. The vegetation was starting to grow, but as the route is hilly, there were superb views of the countryside with its gradations of colour! Superb.

A superb hike to discover Brittany's heritage: St Jacques du Goëlo, the Bois-Gelin tomb and, above all, the temple and village of Lanleff. Much of the hike takes place along shaded sunken paths, typical of the Breton hinterland. Definitely worth doing.

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. As this route has not been mapped out by an association or local authority, it is not signposted.
It is a personal creation that could be improved.
If in doubt, follow the pin on the app.
Could you please indicate where the route needs to be clarified?
Thank you in advance.

An interesting hike through the countryside, along the river and through the woods, with stops at St-Jacques Chapel, Lanleff Temple and the Boisgelin tomb. This route seems to be little used, except by agricultural machinery and construction vehicles in some places. There are virtually no signs along the route, so you have to rely on the Visorando route (which is sometimes a little vague).
In the end, we managed without any problems.

The route is very poorly signposted; without a map, it is impossible to find your way around. The paths are very muddy, so boots are essential.

Hello,
Thank you for your very pertinent comment.
Indeed, the section after Crec'h Lanleff is neither signposted nor maintained (nettles, etc.).
I have updated my description and sent an email to Pléhédel Town Hall to inform them that this path, which is listed as GR34A, is in need of some maintenance.
Kind regards

This walk combines walking with visits to interesting places.
It is a pity that the markings (GR) are sometimes non-existent or faded.
In particular, the section after Cre'h Lanleff between points 5 and 6 (area with livestock buildings) is not well marked.
