The Carnac alignments

Discover a world-famous prehistoric site that takes you back 7,000 years! In addition to the famous alignments of Ménec and Kermario, the hike takes in the moving Manio quadrangle and the giant menhir of the same name, two tumuli, including the imposing Tumulus Saint-Michel topped by a chapel, and two ancient fountains. A very varied route through moors, woods and meadows.
The Sentier des Douaniers in La Trinité-sur-Mer

From the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer, "the Mecca of sailing", the coastal path leads from beach to beach to the Pointe de Kerbihan and its viewpoint over Quiberon Bay. It continues on to the recently rehabilitated Kervillen salt marshes.
Sainte-Barbe and Plouharnel Beach

This easy walk takes in the beautiful beach of Plouharnel for watersports enthusiasts, and the countryside with its menhirs and fountains.
The Kerzerho Alignments

This hike allows you to discover many monuments from the distant Neolithic period (5000 to 2500 BC). Dolmens, menhirs and cromlechs can be found throughout this very pretty hike.
Coastal route from Portivy
Once you pass the Penthièvre isthmus, dominated by the imposing fort of the same name, you enter the Quiberon peninsula. The small port of Portivy enjoys peaceful days halfway between the fort and the Pointe du Percho. It is an excellent starting point for a walk between the eastern coast, where the most beautiful villas are located, and the much wilder western coast.
Locmariaquer: a path strewn with stones

The upper jaw that closes the Gulf of Morbihan is dotted with stone teeth. The circuit around the Pointe de Locmariaquer stretches from the ocean to the peaceful shores of the Gulf, stopping off at several of the sites that have made this megalithic site famous.
NB: It appears that the passage between points 5 and 6 is no longer possible. Follow theGR® 34 markings, which have themselves been modified.
La Côte Sauvage on the Quiberon peninsula

Stroll along the cliffs of the Côte Sauvage on the Quiberon peninsula. Beautiful dunes, beaches and cliffs grace this side of the Quiberon peninsula, where the power of the sea is fully expressed.
The Pointe de Locmariaquer

Leaving from Locmariaquer, this hike takes in the coastline of the Golfe du Morbihan, the entrance to the gulf with a view of Port Navalo, and then on to the coast and even the ocean.
Along the way, you'll discover numerous dolmens and megalithic sites (including the famous Table des Marchands).
⚠️Several problems on this hike, see reviews.
The tip of the Quiberon peninsula

A very beautiful hike that allows you to discover both sides of the Quiberon coast: the wild west coast and the bay on the east side. Cross the large beach and return via Port Haliguen.
After the large beach, pass in front of the thalassotherapy centre and continue to the Pointe du Conguel where, in good weather, you can see the islands of Houat and Hoedic beyond the Teignouse lighthouse.
Le Bono

A beautiful walk, mainly following footpaths, waterside, forest, and past a beautiful historical chapel. Perfect for a run too!
Le Bono via Baie de Kerdrean

Start from the old bridge at Le Bono, down along the river to the bay "Baie de Kerdréan".
The hike is partly along the gulf and partly in the countryside.
It starts with the Tumulus de Kernourz and runs halfway along the Manoir de Kerdréan.
From the chapel of Sainte-Avoye to Saint-Goustan

Starting from Le Bono, this hike will allow you to discover the coastline of the Bras du Bono to the chapel of Saint-Avoye. Then, crossing the countryside, you will pass along the Bras de l'Auray river to Saint-Goustan.
There is little road and a pretty path along the two rivers (on the right side of the Gulf of Morbihan).
Moderator's message: route modified on 21/06/2023 from 5 to follow theGR® and avoid the Kerplouz high school, which is private property (fence in place).
Le Bono via the Becquerel chapel

Beautiful hike which, in its first part, follows the Bono river then crosses countryside and undergrowth to return to the starting point.
Very few roads, nice path.
The two rivers of Auray and Sal

The rivers of Auray (Loc'h) and Sal (Bono) enjoy a preserved environment and a varied heritage: the Sainte-Avoye chapel and its rood screen, the boat cemetery and the old Bono bridge.
Anse du Téno - Pluneret
Wet and dry moorland, woods, embankments, river, sea, mudflats, wet meadows... the natural environments are all interwoven here. The banks of the River Sal are also home to the Sainte-Avoye chapel.
The River Étel and Saint Cado

A beautiful walk along part of the Rivière d'Étel, taking in the Île de Saint-Cado and the little house on the Île de Nichtarguer.
Loop starting from Pointe de la Vieille Chapelle

10 km hike between Sainte-Hélène and the Ria d'Étel.
The Ria through the pine forests

The Ria d'Étel is always changing.
At low tide, vast expanses of mudflats are interspersed with tiny or larger areas covered with all kinds of plants and birds.
At high tide, it is the sea with its tiny or large islets.
And inland, there is low-lying, sometimes marshy land with pine forests stretching to the coast, on sandy, sometimes rocky soil.
And there is no shortage of colour. I have been there several times and the photos of the same place are never the same.
