Tour of the Pénerf Peninsula
A short walk around the pretty little peninsula of Pénerf.Please note: according to a hiker, the path is currently closed after the Tour des Anglais.(It seems that you can continue by taking the inland route. Happy walking!)
Between the countryside and the sea, leaving from Billiers.
A pretty walk between the countryside and the seaside. The Pointe de Penn Lann stands guard over the Vilaine Estuary.
Surzur - Banastère - Penvins
Cycling tour on the Rhuys Peninsula, via cycle paths and routes, with virtually no roads. Accessible to all, no technical difficulty. Pass through the woods and marshes to reach the ocean.
Tour of Haut Pénestin
The Pointe du Halguen marks the southern limit of the Vilaine estuary. This promontory overlooking the ocean is also the northern end of the ochre cliffs that line the ocean front of Pénestin. A lovely walk is available around the village of Haut Pénestin, where long stretches of sandy beach precede secluded coves and abandoned salt marshes.
Around the Pen Mur Pond
Finally! After years of land negotiations, the elected representatives of Muzillac have succeeded in bringing to fruition a project that has been in the works for over a decade: a footpath that goes all the way around the Étang de Pen Mur. This long stretch of water, held back by the Moulin de Pen Mur dam, occupies the bottom of the valley where the Ruisseau de Saint-Éloi once flowed. It is now possible to walk along the lake to the Chapelle du Moustéro chapel and return via the other bank. Although the eastern bank is less wooded than its counterpart, the entire route runs under the canopy of trees that line the banks of the lake. And the icing on the cake is that the improvements made, which are fairly minor and will soon be invisible, have preserved natural sections and stairways that prevent motorised vehicles and even mountain bikes from using the path. Walkers, grab your walking sticks!
Tour of "Pointe de Penvins" and "Becudo"
A short, easy walk along the south coast of Sarzeau, overlooking the ocean and the tip of "Penvins" ("Pointe de Penvins"). Extensive views out to sea, with the islands of Belle-Île, Houat and Hoedic to the east.
From Maresclé beach to Haut-Pénestin along the coast and other paths
This hike starts at the car park of the Mine d’Or beach, along the coast north to Haut-Pénestin, to return by internal paths to reach the sea at Maresclé beach and then the starting point.
The beaches and Suscinio Castle
Suscinio Castle stands near the sea and on the edge of an area of ponds and marshes. Before visiting this superb fortified castle, this hike offers a route along the coast and then inland. Several variations are possible.
Le Hézo: between marshes and the Gulf of Morbihan
A short family walk between former salt marshes, now a bird sanctuary, and the Gulf of Morbihan.
Tour de Larmor in Pénestin
Pénestin is just a stone's throw away from being an island. Although its ocean side faces the Atlantic, it is only connected to the hinterland by a strip of land wedged between two marshes. The suggested route takes you through the southern part of the area, formerly known as Larmor, between the Pont Mahé marshes and the cliffs of Lanchale and Le Bile.
Three Streams Route in Noyal-Muzillac
As is often the case in Brittany, the Noyal-Muzillac area has a hollow relief, in which streams of varying sizes have carved out their beds. The proposed route plays leapfrog over the Tohon and the Pont Pily and Pont Noyal streams. In between, it climbs back up to the top of the relief to visit a few villages with beautiful architectural heritage.
Quimiac, between sea and marsh
The hike begins with three beaches and ends at Pointe de Merquel, which marks the entrance to the Bassin du Mès, famous for its salt marshes, mussels and oysters. The landscapes are magical, whether on the sea or marsh side.
Quimiac, between sea and marsh (2)
One-third salt marsh, one-third countryside and one-third sea: a superb recipe for a salty cocktail!
Pointe de Merquel
A lovely walk through the salt marshes and Mesquer Bay.
Pointe de Merquel
This is a hike to undertake when other trails are impassable in winter.
Walk in the marshes around Kercabellec
Mesquer has a coastline opening onto the Bay of Vilaine and the open sea, but around Kercabellec, a small port between the village and Quimiac, there is a much more secret route between the marshes and the Merquel and Rostu tidal flats. Immerse yourself in this unique landscape where salt and shellfish farming are closely intertwined.
Mesquer - Quimiac
This route connects the three main areas of the municipality: Mesquer, Quimiac and Kercabellec. It allows you to discover the diversity of the area, first the marshes, then the countryside and the sea, which is particularly present around the Pointe de Mesquer.
Circuit around Piriac sur Mer
A lovely route around Piriac-sur-Mer that allows you to explore the town's coastline, following the beach or the customs officers' path, and also to discover its interior, taking the narrow streets and alleys that penetrate the intimacy of the place.
