Parking at the community hall.
Blue, purple and green markings
(S/E) From the car park, cross to the pedestrian crossing opposite, which goes around the church on the right, then follow the street on the right down to a place called Le Stivell. Note the 16th-century calvary on the right, decorated with a cross adorned with fleurons. Turn left and pass by the old communal wash house (inscribed MDCCCCI, year of restoration of the basins 1901).
Green markings
(1) Continue along this small road, leaving the blue and purple markings on your right. Walk past the hamlet of Bellevue, leave the ZAC (joint development zone) of the same name on your left and, at Croix du Rest, join the D45, which you follow to the left for about 200 metres. Cross the road with caution.
Purple Markings
(2) At the "Moulin du Pont" signpost, just before the water tower, turn right onto a path lined with tree-lined embankments and follow this path. At the fork marked "le Drennec", take the hairpin bend to the left. Continue along this path, which winds its way between meadows, until you reach a small road.
(3) Turn left and continue until you reach the junction with the D45 at the Croix de Ti-Gwen (15th century) located on the other side of the road.
No signposts
(4) Turn right into the driveway of Château de Cheffontaines. This is private property but pedestrians are tolerated (please respect the premises). Follow this wide lane, which is nearly a kilometre long and lined with magnificent beech trees. (Please note that some trees have fallen, but it is possible to walk around them except for one, which you will need to climb over without too much difficulty, as of November 2017). You will come to a road, which you should follow to the right for about 150 metres.
Pink markings (few and relatively faded)
(5) Turn left at the barrier and continue along this wide path that runs alongside the castle grounds. Pass by the lake inside the property and look for the old Kergoat Mill on the right, which is currently abandoned. Pass a farmhouse on the right, the restoration of which appears to be on hold. Pass under a power line and reach a Y-shaped crossroads.
(6) Follow this small road to the left, still bordering the Cheffontaines estate. At the next junction, leave the road on the right and continue along the stony path which leads to a road just before the Saint-Thomas Chapel.
(7) Cross over and enter the area surrounding the chapel (a good place to take a break at the foot of the Calvary, which was restored after acts of vandalism in 2007).
No signposts
Exit on the left, follow the small road and continue straight ahead, leaving a road on your left. You will reach the residential area of Résidence de la Châtaigneraie on your right.
Blue, green and pink markings
(8) Turn left onto the wide path called Hent ar Bleizi (Chemin des Loups). Follow this path along the edge of the houses, then pass behind a large shopping centre to reach a road just after passing under a high-voltage power line.
(9) Follow the road to the right, which runs alongside residential areas, and join the Route de Saint-Thomas, which you follow to the right towards the village of Pleuven.
Cross at the roundabout, continue through the public garden, and return to the church and the car park of the multi-purpose hall (S/E).
