For the potential believer, this is the forest where a magician (Merlin the Enchanter) and a fairy (Viviane the Fairy) met. For the same walker, it's also where Arthur's Knights met at the Round Table. Finally, will the walker see the fairies who took to the water? before meeting the fairy Morgane, who locks up all knights unfaithful to their oath of love in an impenetrable prison of air (the Val sans Retour). A vast program.

From Tréhorenteuc to Trécesson, this route explores the southern part of the Forest of Paimpont and, first and foremost, the Val sans Retour.

The legendary Brocéliande is undoubtedly the most popular of all, but the natural Brocéliande is just as omnipresent. It is the latter that you will discover on this hike, with Lake Trémelin, the Bois de la Roche Trébulente and Putenoë woods, and above all the Careil bird sanctuary... don't forget your binoculars!

From Lake Trémelin: start with Les Landiers de Trémelin, then cross the Chambre au Loup valley with its woods and moors, followed by a visit to the ruins of Boutavent Castle, owned by the Lords of Gaël-Montfort in the 13th and 14th centuries, and return via the Putenoë woods to finish along the lake.

Monterfil is located between Rennes and Plélan-le-Grand, close to the Paimpont forest and the Brocéliande site. Here, visitors will get a taste of the moorland and schist landscapes. They will also have the opportunity to cross deep, steep-sided valleys where small streams flow peacefully.

Walk in the Bois de Cent Jours (the time it took to clear 30 hectares) and on the moorland north of Bovel. With a little care and silence, you may spot roe deer (I’ve done this walk twice on my own and once in a group of twelve); on each occasion I managed to spot some (admittedly at varying distances!).

This pond tour is not difficult: the total elevation gain is less than 25 metres. Although the start may be a little tedious with its 4.2 kilometres on a greenway, the return trip is more than pleasant along theGR®37, which runs alongside the pond and offers magnificent views in several places with a host of marsh birds.

Come and discover a remarkable megalithic site in the Landes de Monteneuf: a collection of standing stones, covered walkways and isolated menhirs.

Set off to explore the dry and wet moors, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. You will then come across several Neolithic burial monuments (La Loge Morinais, the Bordouès Covered Walkway). A little further on is the Pierres Droites megalithic site, one of the most important archaeological sites in central Brittany. It has 420 menhirs, around forty of which have been re-erected in their original location.
