Clohars-Carnoët walks
Land and sea via Le Pouldu, departing from Cohars-Carnoët
At the end of the 19th century, following Pont-Aven, Le Pouldu in Clohars-Carnoët became a refuge for several painters from the Pont-Aven School, such as Paul Gauguin, Meyer de Haan, Paul Sérusier, Charles Filiger and many others. The seaside and the lush countryside inspired these artists, who captured them in their paintings.The countryside sections have retained many lovely, shaded sunken paths. Three restored chapels and a windmill add a lovely heritage touch to this walk.

Loop between land and sea around Porsac'h

There are many places with picturesque names (Fontaine aux Loups, Fontaine des Dimanches, Pont du Diable, Pont de Pierre, Port du Passage, Étang de Tailleurs, etc.), which bear witness to the former life of the "forest people".

Grand Tour of Le Pouldu
This very varied route takes you in turn along the lower reaches of the River Laïta, along a wide variety of paths through woods, valleys and hamlets, and along a beautiful stretch of coastline with cliffs and beaches.
Kerzellec, Le Bas-Pouldu, the painters’ trail
A short walk from the Laïta estuary (the ‘Éllé maritime’), following the coastal path opposite the Île de Groix, as far as the outskirts of Le Pouldu, in the footsteps of the painters of the Pont-Aven School who set up shop at the Buvette de la Plage (Marie Henry’s inn) or stayed in the surrounding farms of Keranquernat or Kerzellec, such as Gauguin, Filiger, Sérusier, de Haan, Makowski, Slewinski and Seligmann.
Take in the rich heritage of civil and military architecture, as well as the unspoilt wildlife and vegetation.
Circular from Le Pouldu to Saint-Michel via Saint-Maurice
The River Laïta winds its way from Quimperlé to Le Pouldu. Its banks are steep and it is bordered by a state-owned forest which is home to the ruins of Saint-Maurice Abbey. The coastal path (GR®®34) allows you to reach the abbey site from the mouth of the river via either bank. The extension towards the chapel and the Saint-Michel fountain takes you through a wilder area. The walk can be done as a circular route during the high season by using the Pouldu ferry.
