Chapelle Saint-Philibert (Saint-Philibert) walks

A long walk to fully enjoy the seaside. Between the rocky headlands of Trévignon and La Jument, the coastal path winds through a protected nature reserve, between the ocean and the lagoons inhabited by a wealth of wildlife. As it moves away from the sea, the path reveals the unspoilt natural landscape and architectural heritage characteristic of the region.

A long walk along the customs officers’ path, through the countryside, past villages with thatched-roof houses and along the banks of the Aven between Port Manec’h and Trévignon. This can be done as a single walk or as three complementary circular loops of around ten kilometres each (see Practical Information).

From the coastal house, take the GR®34 towards Pointe de Trévignon and its small harbour, not forgetting the imposing lifeboat shelter on its launch ramp and the small lighthouse at the end of the breakwater sheltering the harbour. At the very tip, look out for the old fort and private castle. Continue along the coastal path, passing beautiful beaches that are also popular with surfers. Turn your back on the sea and venture into the beautiful country lanes: tranquillity guaranteed. Discover the hamlet of Saint-Philibert with its chapel and beautiful votive fountain. End your walk in the small hamlets that have preserved some of their characteristic dwellings.

In southern Finistère, near Pont-Aven and Concarneau, this lovely walk will take you along sunken paths through the pretty, green countryside, dotted with flowers and charming hamlets. You’ll also walk along the magnificent section of the GR®34 coastal path.
