In the footsteps of our Neolithic ancestors in Créhen and Trégon

Park in the Trégon Town Hall car park, where there is plenty of space.

(S/E) Take Rue de la Ville Goudier, which runs alongside the car park. After 200 metres, once you’ve passed Rue du Dolmen, turn into the next lane on the right. This leads you to the menhir standing in the middle of this new neighbourhood.

(1) Return to Rue de la Ville Goudier and continue to the right along the road lined with crops. Pass the sewage treatment plant.

(2) After passing through the hamlet of La Ville Tinguy, take the path on the right. After a bend to the right, you’ll reach the dolmen standing in the middle of a field. Carry on and you’ll come out onto the D62, which is very busy.
Before crossing the departmental road and, depending on the height of the crops, look out for the La Hautière covered walkway along the last hedge (on the departmental road side).

(3) Cross the D62, then follow it to the left; after 200 metres, you’ll enter the wide avenue lined with tall trees that opens up to the right of the road. The road passes through a farm at the hamlet of La Pouardais, then turns left.

(4) Leave the road and turn right onto this gravel track lined with fields. At the entrance to the hamlet of La Ville Tideu, turn right onto the tarmac track (at the foot of a stony copse). After 100 m, take the grassy track on the right, which passes in front of livestock buildings. The track leads to the Allée Couverte La Ville Génouhan.

(5) Retrace your steps to rejoin the paved track on the right, which leads onto the D786.

:6:: Cross the road and take the path opposite on the left. Walk round a farm and you’ll come out onto a road. Note the Château du Guildo site opposite.

(7) Take the road on the right, using the verges. After walking alongside the La Hingandais estate, you’ll reach the junction with the D62. Cross it.

(8) After 50 m, leave the road, turn right onto the track and follow it. After turning left, you’ll come out onto a small road.

(9) Turn right onto the small road which leads to Trégon Church and then to the Town Hall (S/E).

Alternatives:
This walk can be continued from (7). At the end of the path, opposite, marked by two petrol cans, the^GR® 34 begins, which goes round the castle to the right. Leaving the path at the hamlet of La Pépinais, you return to (8).

(9) You can continue along the path opposite, which goes round the village, back onto the D768 and then to the car park at Trégon Town Hall (S/E).

The site of the covered walkway at Ville Génouhan has been developed by the departmental authorities. An information board explains the reasons behind and the construction methods used for these megaliths (of which there are many in Brittany).

The Château du Guildo is well worth a lengthy stop. Following major works to rebuild its collapsed walls, it is now open to visitors. The information provided has been carefully curated to help visitors orientate themselves within the enclosure and visualise the various restored areas. From the ramparts, there is a magnificent view of the harbour and the Arguenon estuary.
At low tide, you can see a group of seals resting on the exposed sandbanks.
