Chapelle de Locmaria-Grâce walks

Or how to take a leisurely trip from Hennebont to Pontivy? There are a few sections with cars and lots of pedestrians at the start and finish, but otherwise it's just hikers and cyclists. It's a peaceful route for walking or cycling.The landscape changes as you follow the river, making this a peaceful walk, but it can be challenging: 60 km there (and possibly the same back).Here and there, you will find places to quench your thirst and eat, but make sure you take everything you need with you. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the countryside.

From the Bay of Lorient to the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, Cycle Route 8 (188 km) crosses the Breton countryside on towpaths and peaceful little roads lined with water points. The V8 first follows shared paths, passing through pretty residential neighbourhoods in the city, then through the countryside, before reaching the Blavet towpath, which meanders between the wooded hills of a green valley. Route 8 then continues along the quiet and winding Hilvern canal, which has been converted into a greenway, to join the Nantes-Brest stream at Allineuc.

Pass through the towns of Guidel, Ploemeur, Larmor, Lorient, Locmiquelic, Port-Louis and Riantec on a route marked with cycle route signs. Enjoy the coastal landscapes and town centres along the way.

Discover the natural and built heritage of Lorient harbour along the GR®34. From the historic port of Lorient, you will walk along the Scorff before reaching the Blavet estuary, which offers beautiful views of the maritime landscape. The walking loop ends at the Pen Mané pier in Locmiquélic. A water bus will take you back to your starting point in Lorient in 8 minutes. Remember to check the water bus timetable in advance. You will be walking through natural and private sites. Stay on the marked paths and respect nature, facilities and cultivated land. For your comfort and safety, make sure you have the appropriate hiking equipment.
