Goulven walks

This small coastal village, nestled at the far end of the bay, is linked to the life of Saint Goulven. The central stained-glass window in the parish church depicts various episodes from his life. In addition to the church, there are two other sites associated with him: the Pénity Chapel, where he is said to have retired to escape the crowds, and its miraculous fountain.

From the village of Plounéour-Trez, take theGR®®34 trail, first following the Goulven beach, which changes with the tides, then opening onto the open sea with a view of Île de Batz on the horizon to the north-east.The return journey winds its way through the fields. Beautiful dolmen to discover.

This walk showcases various aspects of the commune of Kerlouan: its countryside with its many hamlets and its rocky coastline. Along the route, you’ll notice the many stone crosses dotted across the countryside, as well as the enormous granite boulders characteristic of this region. The route passes near the site of Ménéhan, a former village of farmers, sailors and seaweed gatherers, and the Croazou Chapel, where numerous stone crosses of various styles have been gathered together.

Hike along the coast on theGR®34and inland to see the megaliths.

Between sea and land, this route follows theGR®34to the Pontusval Lighthouse at the tip of Brignognan, where you will also find the Chapelle Sain-Pol chapel and an old customs guardhouse perched atop a large granite boulder. The return journey takes you along paths and small country roads, passing by the Chapelle Saint-Guénal chapel.

A short walk combining the seaside with its large rocks and a stretch of countryside also dotted with large granite boulders here and there. The walk ends in the village of Ménéham, which has been restored to its former state and offers the chance to visit a few craft workshops.

The route follows the coast and through the countryside in the western part of Kerlouan. Along the route, the Ménéham site, the Saint-Égarec Chapel and its underground fountain, as well as the Kervizouarn fountain. Another aspect of this landscape, dotted with impressive large granite boulders.

This is a longer walk than route no. 10, “Les Chardons bleus”, in the guidebook “Le Pays du Léon à pied” published by the FFRP. The route passes along the famousGR®34. The Ker Emma dune area is magnificent. Apart from the length, there are no difficulties; the sand on the path is compacted, with a few exceptions.

A coastal walk following the GR®34 for the most part. The paths are well maintained and the signposting is adequate. The route offers beautiful views of the sea, the islands and the rocks, which vary with the tide but are always a pleasure to behold.

Hike along the GR®34, on a coastal path between Guisseny and Plouguerneau Lilia. A feast for the eyes; you’ll never tire of the ever-changing landscapes shaped by the tides. Magnificent white sandy beaches that invite you to sunbathe. The rocks, sculpted by the elements, evoke a surrealist bestiary.

A circular without difficulty (but take care along the roads), offering views of Anse de Tresseny and Pointe de Beg ar Skeiz, as well as a few other points of interest. Don't miss the parish enclosure.

The village of Ploudaniel, a rural commune in northern Finistère, can be spotted from afar by its slender bell tower with three galleries. This short route takes you around the village, highlighting its heritage and green surroundings.

This pleasant circular route starting from Lanarvily offers a refreshing and verdant immersion in the heart of the inland landscapes of Léon, following the upper reaches of the Aber Wrac’h. At this point near Lanarvily, the Aber Wrac’h is unquestionably a river (or a ‘rivière’ in everyday language), and not a ria. The watercourse flows through a steep-sided valley in a strictly fluvial bed (the water here is exclusively fresh, with no tidal range or estuarine influence). The maritime influence only begins to make itself felt much further downstream. This route therefore invites you to discover an authentic riverine and woodland landscape!

This route combines a walk along the seafront at Vougot Beach with a crossing of the marshy area of the Curnic Pond. The return journey is along the dyke between the lake and the sea.

This walk, which I could have called "Between Land and Sea on the Plouescat Coast", will allow you to discover the countryside bordering the sea on one side and the coastal path, part of theGR®34, which runs along the sea on the other. Depending on the season, you will have the opportunity to discover the artichoke and onion fields of the legendary coast. Enjoy the pleasant fragrance of the flower-filled fields and the ocean stirred by the wind from the sea.

A family walk in the Langazel wetland, considered to be the oldest peat bog in western Brittany. It is classified as a protected natural area and is part of the Natura 2000 network. It consists of a mosaic of remarkable habitats (wet meadows, moors, peat bogs) which give it its unique character. It is also one of the main sources of the Aber Wrac'h stream, which supplies 36 municipalities with drinking water.

Ce parcours suit en partie celui du Rand'abers 11 en sens inverse. Il vous fera découvrir de beaux paysages de campagne et vous emmènera le long de l'Aber Benoît et ses nombreux moulins à eau.

The starting point for this route is at the Espace Louis Coz, marked in blue. Along this educational route, you will discover five information panels providing information about the different species of apple trees and apples in general. Designed for Sunday walkers, this route is a good route for families who want to take a short walk around the town while learning about the association's work in conserving rare apples. Each panel is located in one of the five conservation orchards maintained by the Avalou Plab association.
