To get to the starting point:
From Iffendic: take the D61 towards Plélan-le-Grand. After about 3.7 km, in a wood, take a road on the right. A sign indicates the right direction for the Chambre au Loup.
From the Lorient-Rennes expressway: take the Plélan-le-Grand exit, then follow signs for Plélan-le-Grand. At the first roundabout, go straight ahead, then take the second right onto the D61 towards Iffendic. In Saint-Péran, stay on the D61 towards Iffendic, taking the small road to the left. After about 5.3 km, you will see the road to the Chambre au Loup with a sign on the left.
Take this small road for 1 km until you reach the car park, which is signposted on the left. To reach the start of the walk, take the path on the left, perpendicular to the road. At the entrance to the woods, you will find an information board about our walk.
Yellow markings and sign for "La Chambre au Loup".
(S/E) From the car park, take the path next to the sign that enters the woods. After 100 m, turn left and follow the path to the road (D61). Please note that this road is very busy!
Follow the road to the left for 30 metres and take a path that enters the woods on the other side of the road.
200 metres after a signpost, the path turns left and crosses a crossroads. Ignore the small paths on the right and left and continue for about 270 metres.
(1) Find a path that branches off to the right and turns back at an angle of about 150°. Follow this path until you reach a road.
Continue on the path opposite, which crosses a wood and then turns right, following the fields until you reach another road. Follow this road to the right, then take a 90° right turn and turn left onto the path that leads to the Route de Boutavent. Be careful, the main road is very busy!
(2) At the crossroads, take the small road slightly to the left towards Boutavent. At the end of the road, continue straight ahead until you reach Boutavent Castle, a large clearing with information panels, benches, etc.
(3) To continue the circuit, walk along the site on your right and follow the path under the trees. Continue until you reach a field, then take the path on the left which leads to a road.
Follow the road ahead, cross the Touche crossroads, pass the beautiful farmhouse on your right and continue along the farm track.
(4) After a sharp left turn down a valley, the path enters a long right turn. In this turn, find a small path that branches off to the left. A sign indicates that you are entering the Vallon de la Chambre au Loup site. Continue along the path until you reach a crossroads.
(5) Possible alternative: see § Practical information.
Turn left, walk along the rocks, then descend into a valley, cross a stream and immediately climb up the other side. Once at the top of the rocks, another descent awaits you. Cross the stream at the bridge that follows and turn right.
(6) The trail climbs up the hillside and follows the valley until you reach a path that descends to the right. Before the house, climb the rocks on the left and continue uphill. Finally, the trail descends again and you arrive at a bridge upstream from the Étang de la Chambre au Loup.
(7) Cross the bridge and follow the pond on your left until you reach the dam.
(8) Climb the fairly steep hill to the right of the dam until you reach the top.
(9) Enjoy the view one last time. Turn right for a few metres, then head into the woods on a path that branches off to the left. Continue until you reach a T-junction. Turn left and you will reach the car park after 200 metres (S/E).
