Douron (fleuve) walks

A beautiful hike, much of it taking place along the seafront corniche. Along the way, you can add a visit to a Gallo-Roman site and take a refreshing dip!

The Pointe de Locquirec offers wonderful landscapes! From Pointe Blanche, the whole bay of Locquirec opens up to walkers, with a different landscape depending on the sea level, followed by the beauty of Kerboulic and its second homes, bursting with sunshine on the Plage des Sables Blancs and Pointe du Corbeau, and finally ending with Pointe du Château and the small port of Locquirec.

Discover Grève Saint-Michel: a bay where the sea retreats more than 2 km; first by climbing the Grand Rocher for a breathtaking panorama, then, closer up, by walking along the beach, and finally, admiring it from the famousGR®34hiking trail. You will continue to admire Lannion Bay as you skirt around the Pointe de l'Armorique and, more specifically, the Pointe de Plestin, before following the Douron estuary, admiring the chapel and fountain, and returning to Saint-Efflam.

Discover the banks of the Douron, the coastal river that separates the Côtes d'Armor and Finistère departments. Right from the start, you will have to cross a pass: the Col de Saint-Haran (24 metres!), as indicated on the sign at the top. You will cross into a different department when you cross the bridge next to the Moulin de Moualhic, and again at Pont Menou.

Hike along the banks of the Douron: nature, birds, tranquillity. The Saint-Haran circular route is part of the chapel route.

This is an easy walk, except for the distance, which combines sunken paths and wide forest lanes, as well as chapels and castles, not to mention streams and brooks, with the English Channel as a backdrop.

This easy hike will take you from one side of the Locquirec headland to the other, following the left bank of the Douron estuary, then through the countryside, vegetable fields and pretty valleys hiding small streams, until you reach the north-western coast of the headland. The GR® 34 offers beautiful views from the rocky points of Corbeau and Château. You will also walk along beautiful beaches, such as Sables Blancs, Porz Biliec and Fond de la Baie, where you can walk along the shore as you please, depending on the tide. You will also pass through part of Locquirec, where you can admire the church, the narrow streets, the small harbour and the seafront, which you will follow to the end.

This beautiful circular walk is divided into two parts. The first part follows the customs officers' path and runs along the seafront, passing numerous viewpoints, headlands and beaches until it reaches the banks of the Douron estuary. The second part winds through the countryside of valleys and hamlets, revealing pretty manor houses before reaching its climax at the seaside, at an altitude of 84 metres, at the top of the Grand Rocher, which offers an exceptional view of almost the entire bay of Lannion and the Plestinaise countryside.
