Access: From Quimper, take the D15 towards Coray. At the large Croas Spern roundabout, turn left towards Odet-Lestonan and drive through the village. Pass all the old paper mills and park just before a bridge on a large grassy area near the indoor tennis court building.
(S/E) With your back to the car park, join the path that runs along the left bank of the River Odet. The path winds its way through the trees while staying close to the water.
(1) Further on, you will walk along the leat that used to supply water to the old paper mills.
(2) Cross the footbridge over the Odet to climb up to the left. Walk about 700 metres there and back to discover the Chapel of Kreïsker (Saint-Corentin) by following theGR®®38markings.
On your return, cross the other footbridge over the old canal.
Mountain bike trail markers 12 - 10 - 9
Look for a MTB 12 - 10 - 9 signpost and take the stony path opposite that goes uphill. At the first three-way junction (signpost), turn left and follow the Chemin de Coat Piriou, which runs along the edge of the woods. You will come to a small road at a place called Coat Piriou. Note the old bread oven on your left. Continue along this road uphill. Ignore the sign for Pratiles on your left.

Note the sign here indicating that a buzzard nests in the area and defends its territory during the nesting season. Pass the old Kergoant farm, where tasteful lodges have been built.
(4) At the next three-way junction, turn right and follow the Route de Créa'h Ergué, ignoring a road on the left. At this beautiful property, look for an old bread oven on the left. Follow the road on the right (signposted Pont Saint-Éloi, Pratilès, Coat Piriou).
