Departure from Commana (Finistère)

Departure from Plounéour-Ménez (Finistère)
Mountains in Brittany? It's possible.
Despite their low altitude, the Monts d'Arrée offer a real mountain setting with rocks emerging from the moorland.
This route along the mountain ridges will immerse you in a landscape of heather, gorse and rocky ridges similar to those found in Ireland or Wales.
Please note: Since the fires of summer 2022, a municipal decree prohibits passage through the peat bog before the point (10). The circular is currently impossible.

Departure from Landerneau (Finistère)
Walk along the Élon as it crosses Landerneau, once a port whose reputation extended beyond the borders of France. Flax, leather and wine were exported throughout Europe. The quays, built in the 17th and 18th centuries, still bear witness to this prosperous period.
Easy route along the towpath and the two quays, Cornouaille and Léon.
Along the route, you will find the Pont de Rohan, one of the last inhabited bridges in Europe, which celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2010.

Departure from Sizun (Finistère)
At the gateway to the Monts d'Arrée, this is a short, easy and bucolic walk that never strays far from the lake and is shaded by trees. Crossing the floating footbridge adds a nice touch to this walk.
