Cycling between Priziac and Langonnet

This easy, accessible loop takes you to the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Langonnet, a remarkable site in the Pays du Roi Morvan that is not to be missed, as well as two archaeological sites: the Tumulus and Motte Castrale de Kermain. You will also discover chapels, churches and fountains, as well as the courtroom in Priziac.

At the end of the route, extend your walk with a relaxing break at the Lac du Bel Air in Priziac, where you can picnic, go paddleboarding, windsurfing or pedal boating, or simply enjoy the natural surroundings. There is also a well-equipped children's playground by the lake and at the Pontigou pond in Langonnet.

Notes

Designed to combine leisure and discovery, this loop proposed by Roi Morvan Communauté is suitable for electric bikes (e-bikes) or hybrid bikes.

Be careful on the road. You will be riding on sections of paths, quiet local roads and a few busier departmental roads. The Highway Code applies on shared paths.

Be careful for about 400 metres on the D790 when leaving the St-Yves chapel towards Langonnet and when crossing the D790 on leaving the Abbaye Notre-Dame e Langonnet.

Helmets are compulsory for children under 12 and strongly recommended for other users. Wearing a high-visibility vest is also recommended.

The Pays du Roi Morvan has some steep slopes, so think about your calves and save your battery so you can get back without too much effort!
