Châteauneuf-du-Faou walks

The municipality of Châteauneuf-du-Faou wanted to pay tribute to the painter Paul Sérusier, who stayed there and then lived there from 1906 until his death in 1927: creation of a museum, which opened in June 2025, and installation of a trail punctuated by eight information panels passing through places that were sources of inspiration for him.A walk along the banks of the River Aulne and through the woods completes the trail.

Two loops in Gouézec: at an altitude of 279 m, one of the highest points in the Montagnes Noires, the Karreg an Tan summit offers a beautiful 360° panorama of the Aulne valley, the Monts d'Arrée and the Bay of Douarnenez.Its name comes from the fact that, during the Norman invasions in the 9th century, a lookout would light a fire there to warn the population, which could be seen from across the Châteaulin basin. Back at the car park, a second loop leads through the countryside in the lower part of Gouézec.

Make your way gently along the the Aulne following the logging trail. Views over the lock keepers’ houses located on the other side. Passage through the Vieux-Bourg and its St-They church, the birthplace of the parish of Lothey until 1846.

Let's take a leisurely stroll along the canalised Aulne for about 6 km, passing three locks. Then let's head back up small roads towards the Notre-Dame de Kerluan Chapel. Let's climb a little further to finally descend back down to the banks of the Aulne.

This route offers you an immersion in an area rich in heritage and varied landscapes, with superb panoramic views of the countryside of the Pays du Roi Morvan. Throughout this magnificent loop, you will pass through villages and hamlets. Don't hesitate to push open the doors of chapels and churches to discover architectural wonders. Among the must-see sights are the famous Statue of Liberty, the park and château of Tronjoly in Gourin, and the exceptional church of La Trinité-Langonnet (completely renovated in 2022). Take a relaxing break at the Pontigou lake. An ideal route for families.

This pleasant loop will takeyou through villages rich in architectural heritage, with beautiful granite houses and unmissable sites such as chapels, churches, the Château de Tronjoly, Guiscriff railway station and, of course, the Statue of Liberty in Gourin. It also offers superb panoramic views, particularly along the D187 between Le Saint and Guiscriff.

Does the Rivière d'Argent (Silver River), which glitters beneath the canopy of trees, owe its name to its bright sparkle in the twilight, or is it the nuggets that have escaped from the old mine that give it such a luminous appearance? The walk, which follows the mine's supply channel and then the turbulent course of the river, may provide the answer. It appears that the route is no longer passable between points 4 and 6. If you venture there, please confirm this on the comments page.

In the heart of the Huelgoat Forest, this woodland setting hides a wealth of heritage treasures. The Mine Canal will take you to the old silver-lead mine and then on to the most iconic sites in this legendary forest.

Nestled in a green valley, this commune has all the charm of the mountain countryside, with its sunken lanes, hedgerows, streams and rugged terrain. The name of the commune comes from the name of the parish patron saint, Saint Rivoal, formerly Riwall, the name of a large family that emigrated from Brittany to Great Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries. Saint-Rivoal has been awarded the "Communes du Patrimoine Rural de Bretagne" (Communes of Rural Heritage in Brittany) label.

The Odet River first rolls its cool waves through gently rolling hills, wooded countryside and long meadows.Then, suddenly, upstream from Quimper, it carves out a narrow, deep gorge and describes a surprising "hairpin bend" around the Griffonès cliff, creating a wild, winding ravine framed by woods, rocks and moors.It is this discovery that I invite you to explore.
