Prepare yourself by reading the description and consulting the map; familiarise yourself with the location of the route in relation to the terrain and the road network; check that it is generally close by and accessible by staying on the path.The original route (2015) was slightly modified in March 2023 due to fallen trees.

At the start and end of the walk, the Port of Vannes and its pleasure boats add a maritime touch to this urban route.

A short circular stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), around the Chapelle Saint-Laurent, the little village of Bindre and the Chenal de Saint-Léonard. This section of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan, winding through hedgerows, sunken lanes and marshes, does not offer the most spectacular scenery, but it has the advantage of being close to Vannes and Séné, and accessible by public transport. Furthermore, several information boards add to the interest of the walk. From November to April, after the rains, parts of the path are muddy.

At the gates of Vannes, the Gulf of Morbihan narrows to form a stretch of water crossed by the Marle, an inlet that serves the city's port. It would not be possible to go around it if the Vannes public transport managers had not thought of chartering a ferry between Pointe de Conleau and Barrarac'h to cross this narrow stretch of sea. Then all you have to do is follow the shore to return to the starting point. However, be sure to check beforehand whether the ferry service is operating (usually from April to October). As this stretch of water is subject to the tides and it takes a good four hours to walk around it, you will have plenty of time to see how the landscape changes with the sea level. It is therefore impossible to get bored.

A beautiful walk that takes you from the Conleau peninsula to discover the mouth of the River Vannes. The final stretch of the route takes you down the River Vincin.

Wet and dry moorland, woods, embankments, river, sea, mudflats, wet meadows... the natural environments are all interwoven here. The banks of the River Sal are also home to the Sainte-Avoye chapel.
