Calorguen walks

This walk allows you to explore the typical villages of the Pays des Faluns along stony paths. The towpath of the Ille and Rance Canal will take you past its lock-keeper’s houses and lead you to the old watermills on the River Rance.

A long hike for experienced walkers, from Lehon (Côtes-d'Armor), starting at the old Saint-Magloire Abbey (founded in the 9th century) to Saint-Pern (Ille-et-Vilaine), the mother house of the Little Sisters of the Poor. A page of history and religious life waiting to be discovered.

A lovely walk starting and ending in Évran (22), taking in the landscapes of romantic Brittany with its valleys, winding canal and locks.

The route takes you through the old town of Dinan and past several points of interest, then down into the Rance valley. It passes through Léhon, a picturesque little village, and ends along the Rance and the port of Dinan. For the tour of the walls, see the map on the Dinan Agglo website (see practical information). The journey time does not include breaks and stops for visits or sightseeing!

A town of art and history, Dinan is a place of great beauty. Its historic centre takes us back to the Middle Ages and from the top of its ramparts, visitors can look out over the Rance valley and the road viaduct which, with its 10 arches and 50-metre height, spans the Rance. To this, we must add a stroll through the magnificent town centre of Léhon and finally a romantic walk along the Rance.

Loop around Dinan between Rance and Pays du Poudouvre via the Écluse du Châtelier to La Moinerie in the commune of Plouër-sur-Rance.

First, enjoy a breathtaking view of the Dinan viaduct with two passages under the arches, then stroll along the canalised Rance to reach the village of Tressaint and its woods. This route offers peace and serenity, even though it is very close to a popular tourist destination.

Wind your way along the banks of the Rance, stopping off at the Abbaye Sainte-Magloire-de-Léhon to visit the fortified heights and historic heart of Dinan.

This easy route takes you on a journey of discovery through the Pays des Faluns, combining the Greenway, local heritage and landscapes shaped by the ancient Faluns Sea. The route offers a pleasant and accessible walk, ideal for a family outing.

Discover romantic Brittany, between the two departments of Ille-et-Vilaine and Côtes d’Armor, as you travel along part of the Ille and Rance Canal!

The highlight of this walk is exploring the remains of the feudal motte and Coëtquen Castle, built in the 15th century (private property). The route takes in small roads and beautiful forest paths. The name Coëtquen can be translated as ‘white forest’. The Coëtquens were lords who became part of a branch of the Dinan family.

From the village of Saint-Samson, make your way to the Rance at Le Petit Lyvet via the Voie Verte and the Gallo-Roman track. Take a short detour to the menhir known as ‘La Pierre Longue’: standing 8.5 metres tall, it has stood there since 2,500 to 3,000 years before our era.

Starting from the town hall in Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, set off to explore the Menhir de la Pierre Longue, a testament to the town’s rich history . Your route will then take you through the countryside and woodland, in a peaceful, unspoilt setting. As you walk, you’ll cross the Ruisseaude Coutances before reaching the Étangde Coutances, a true haven of tranquillity in the heart of nature. The route then continues round the village, offering a different perspective on Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, before returning to the starting point. This walk allows you to discover the area’s heritage, nature and rural landscapesas you make your way along the paths .

Throughout this route, there are no fewer than five viewpoints from which you can admire this small coastal river, famous for its mouth between Saint-Malo and Dinard thanks to the tidal power plant dam. After following it first through fresh water and then salt water, you will end your route by taking sunken paths that will lead you to a monument dating back five thousand years.

From the village of Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, set off to explore the Menhir de la Pierre Longue (car park at 48.49315 N, 2.01793 W) for a varied route through the countryside and along the banks of the Rance – first the river and then the sea. Walk through the Saint-Samson countryside and its granite hamlets, then follow the River Rance to admire the old fishing huts, the Lessard Bridge, a riverside forest and an oak plantation. A route rich in scenery and heritage, ideal for a nature walk in Brittany.

Saint-Pierre-de-Plesguen borders the Mesnil forest to the south-east. The route is very wooded and lined with a few picturesque hamlets where you can see some old stone houses weathered by time, in varying states of repair. A magnificent bread oven can be seen just off the route at a place called La Planche, at the first house on the right.

A small village with unexpected treasures, perched high above the Rance Valley. Don’t miss a visit to the church with its devil, its Christ the King, and the view over the Rophemel Dam, which marks the end of the Rance Valley.

A pleasant walk that takes you through the charming valley of the Ruisseau de Coëtquen, also known as the Val Hervelin – which is also the name of the village – on a return trip. The route is generally very pleasant and the path runs largely through woodland. It also offers the chance to discover a few old houses, particularly in St-Méleuc and La Forge. It takes you to a megalithic site in the Tougeais forest, north of the hamlet known as ‘Les Rouchiviers’. There are no significant difficulties, but the valley floor may be very wet during wet weather and the stream may even burst its banks.
