Description of the walk

Car park in front of Plomeur Town Hall.

(S/E) With your back to the car park, head south, turn right, walk past the crêperie and enter the fenced area of land belonging to Sainte-Thumette Church, walking around it. Take the street on the right until you reach the access road to the Maison des Associations

(1) Turn left, then continue along the path that runs alongside the cemetery.
Carry on along the lane that crosses the hamlet of Kergaourantin and, when you reach the road, turn left. Carry on until you reach Rue de Prat Don.

(2) Turn right after the Plomeur exit sign and, at the next junction, turn right towards Poulcaradeg. At the next junction, turn left.

(3) Leave the road by turning right onto the stony track. It makes a circular loop to rejoin the road. Follow the road towards Lesploveur. On the right, near a house, you’ll notice two dead trees that have been carved into the shape of a Māori totem. Turn left, then right, going round the houses to join thePR®®1(the “Pointe de La Torche” route), marked in yellow.

(4) Follow it along a stony path, turning left.

(5) At a dog boarding kennel, turn right into the woods and follow the path leading to the three Lesplomeur menhirs. Continue along the path through the woods until it joins a road; follow this road to the left.

(6) At the junction, take a wide stony path slightly to the right as far as Kerc’hom. Follow the road to the left for 150 m, then turn right onto the stony path. Pass the fountain on your left, which is situated below you. Continue along the path for about 100 m.

(7) Turn left towards the Chapel of Saint-Côme, ignoring the Blue Cross.

(8) Turn right and walk through the village of Langougou. Turn left, then right near the woods.

(9) Follow the forest track on the left, which goes straight on before turning right and then left. Pass the hamlet of Gorrekér and arrive at the D785.

(10) Cross with care and, after 20 m, take the forest track on the left, then continue straight on towards Penfrad, Trévilit and Le Peuliou, where you’ll rejoin the D785.

(11) Cross the road carefully at the pedestrian crossing and follow it to the right.

(12) At the sign for “École Publique”, turn left then right to return to the car park (S/E).

Today's walk took place in glorious weather. The whole group was delighted. A varied route through easy countryside with no steep slopes, featuring standing stones, a beautiful fountain and a chapel.
Just at the end, after crossing the main road at an intersection on the trail, follow the signs for the Treminou chapel to avoid walking along the busy road. Thank you for this beautiful circular

a lovely little hike. Between the 8th and 9th, we turned back,
as we felt we had taken a wrong turn on the route.

A lovely little walk through bucolic countryside and woods. Between 8 and 9, there is quite a bit of mud. At the end of the woods, you have to walk a bit randomly. You almost have to go as far as the fence of the house, climb the hill on the right and take the path on the left that runs alongside the house.

hello
yes, I just went to check, and the map I used for the route in mid-August is no longer the same
in my conclusion of 26 August, I forgot to mention this problem with the old map

Hello,

I think you must have used an old file for this hike.
Following another comment, I modified the route and description in August 2018.
You didn't get lost, which is the main thing, and the weather was favourable.

All the best on Visorando!

additional information
when crossing the D785: do not go as far as Le Frout, as the signposting has changed
after only 30 metres, turn left along a field and rejoin the PR trail on the right at
tréminou

A beautiful hike that is not very difficult, but the end leaves something to be desired because we were forced to take the long road to finish

Thank you, Brigitte, for all these details, which will help me refine the description.
I did this route with my walking group last January without noticing all these changes.
As it was the second time with the group + the reconnaissance, I think we walk without paying too much attention because we know the route.

Feedback from hikers is a plus for the site.

Best regards

at the start of the hike, as you put up yellow markings, we look for them, and there is nothing
since the work carried out around the church, everything has changed, and there is no street name either: Allée de Brémillec (it is at the start of the street on the Guilvinec road side)
it would be better not to put any markings at the start, only from 4
from the car park, head south, pass in front of the FRED ERIC crêperie, go around the church and take the street on the right

for number 2, there is no sign for KERVEN, so instead, turn right after the end of Plomeur sign

at number 9, ignore the blue cross
at number 10, take the forest path on the left 20 metres ahead, then straight on, then...

the rest is fine

Hello,

You didn't choose the right route. The introduction clearly stated that this was a countryside route to discover elements of the historical heritage of this town. I can understand that you're not interested in that.

However, I am surprised that the reliability of the description and the map were also very disappointing.
Did you have any problems finding your way around?
If so, your response could help me to improve the description and route.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Thank you for your comment.
I've been exploring a few routes around Quimper recently and have also encountered muddy sections.
Let's hope the good weather will improve things.

Best regards.

FLOCH.
