Route du Bois de la Salle from Lantic

Forest paths, often damp; intriguing and mysterious woodland that surely conceals ancient tales; secluded meadows; a fountain. This is a walk in the heart of nature that passes very close to the site of the old Cour, which has not yet revealed all its secrets, and a little further on, ‘la Maison de la Terre’, an educational centre dedicated to environmental protection.
The completely flat and very accessible route will take you to the Chapel of Pabu in the neighbouring commune of Tréguidel and back via the Bois de la Salle, ending at the Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Cour.

No particular difficulties; it’s an easy walk, despite many sections of the path being very muddy at this time of year.
The tarmac sections are a bit long in places.

A walk I did on a sunny afternoon. It was nice because a good bit of it was through woodland, though there were quite a few roads. They weren’t very busy, so I let my dog run free for most of the time. A quick, enjoyable little walk!
