Departure from Cavan (Côtes-d'Armor)
This walk between Cavan and Tonquédec is very easy. It begins and ends with a covered avenue lined with sculptures: this is the Vallée des Arts. Unfortunately, over time, some of the sculptures have disappeared. After exploring the Guindy Valley, you’ll finish with the ‘Apple Tree Avenue’: a wide avenue lined with around a hundred apple trees of various species, where anyone is free to pick apples.

Departure from Lannion (Côtes-d'Armor)
Downstream from Lannion, the Léguer is fed by several streams: the Porz al Lan, the Kerlouzouen and the Pontol. After following the Léguer, we invite you to explore these streams, which are part of the charm of this region. All that remains is to let your imagination take you back in time to when the various mills along the banks were still in operation, washing flax and hemp and, in some cases, grinding wheat.
Exploring the Léguer south of Lannion

Moderate
Departure from Lannion (Côtes-d'Armor)
Whilst the level of the Léguer, as it flows through Lannion, is influenced by the tides, further upstream, thanks to several retaining walls, the flow is much more steady. Moreover, the entire area is protected as it serves as a water catchment area for the region.
This route therefore offers an exploration of this coastal river, upstream of Lannion, with a return journey through the surrounding hills.
