From the village of Plounez to the Trieux

This typical Goëlo landscape perfectly blends land and sea. From the heights of its rich agricultural land (cauliflowers, artichokes, potatoes, etc.), you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of the Trieux estuary with the port and the Lézardrieux bridge, then you’ll walk close to the water between the (6) and the (7).

This is an easy walk suitable for all seasons. In winter, the Traou Vantan area may be muddy.
This walk is even more enjoyable at high tide.
Check the tide times before setting off.

Worth a visit

Some paths are inaccessible, with nettles, brambles, etc.
Too much tarmac, which is a shame because the view above the river is magical.
