Gouesnach walks

On the Gouesnac'h side, access to the banks of the Odet is relatively limited. After a stretch through the countryside, this route allows you to follow this coastal river for about 3 km. Be aware of the tide times: at high tide, the site is only accessible when the tidal coefficient is below 60. For greater safety, it is best to go at low tide.
