Groix walks

A short, easy loop between countryside and seaside.

This route takes in the Loch Reserve. A former arm of the sea that has been reclaimed and transformed into marshland.It's home to many species of flora and fauna. You'll cross reedy wetlands and enjoy birdwatching.

A lovely, easy route through woodland, sunken lanes and coastal paths. However, avoid during wet weather as there is a very muddy section between (3) and (6). A break at point (10) (Roche Percée) is highly recommended.

This walk takes you along the Blavet estuary, between woodlands and salted meadows. Beautiful landscapes, fauna, flora, and a fascinating boat cemetery.

Hike along the Rivière d'Étel and the Rivière du Sac'h

The Ria d'Étel is always changing. At low tide, vast expanses of mudflats are interspersed with tiny or larger areas covered with all kinds of plants and birds. At high tide, it is the sea with its tiny or large islets. And inland, there is low-lying, sometimes marshy land with pine forests stretching to the coast, on sandy, sometimes rocky soil. And there is no shortage of colour. I have been there several times and the photos of the same place are never the same.

A beautiful walk along part of the Rivière d'Étel, taking in the Île de Saint-Cado and the little house on the Île de Nichtarguer.

Leaving the small port of Merrien, you follow the seafront. After returning via small grassy paths, you'll make your way up the entire ria.

An easy loop starting from Hennebont. Pass through Saint-Antoine, Saint-Gilles, the Quelennec lock, and return to Hennebont via the towpath through Lochrist. 9/08/2023 Message from the moderator: following feedback, the hike has been modified at point 9 to avoid passing through private property.

Or how to take a leisurely trip from Hennebont to Pontivy? There are a few sections with cars and lots of pedestrians at the start and finish, but otherwise it's just hikers and cyclists. It's a peaceful route for walking or cycling.The landscape changes as you follow the river, making this a peaceful walk, but it can be challenging: 60 km there (and possibly the same back).Here and there, you will find places to quench your thirst and eat, but make sure you take everything you need with you. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the countryside.

10 km hike between Sainte-Hélène and the Ria d'Étel.

From the small port of Brigneau, nestled in a magnificent estuary, follow theGR®34trail to Île Percée, a small island where blockhouses were used to defend the coast and, above all, the submarine base at Lorient. The return journey along country lanes and through woods takes you back to the bottom of the ria, where old sardine boats lie dismantled and silted up, living out their final days.

A loop on the north side of the Toulfoën forest, leading to a chapel, the road "Chemin du Duc", castle of Carnoët and the Bishop's Chair.

Randonnée sur le sentier côtier bordant le bras de mer de Moëlan-sur-Mer.

Entre forêts et bord de mer, voici un parcours parfois technique qui donne un bon aperçu de la région du Belon. Assez bien balisé en Jaune ou Rouge et Blanc.

After a peaceful walk along small country roads to discover the Allée Couverte Arc Boutée de Kerantiec, this circuit joins the karstic cave at the Rosbraz marina. The return via the GR®34 overlooks the left bank of the Aven and then the right bank of the Belon, offering views of the opposite bank of each river.

Two coastal rivers, the Aven and the Belon, have the same estuary facing Port Manec'h. This circuit largely follows the edge of the Belon and one of its coves, Penmor. During the walk, you will discover two beautiful fountains and the Saint-Léger Chapel.

Discover the right bank of the Belon and where it meets the Aven, where these two rivers flow into the sea. Return via quiet country lanes before reaching another cove on the Belon.

From the Saint-Nicolas Chapel in the heart of the seaside town of Port Mananec'h, this route descends to the beach, running alongside it at a height before joining the coastal path followed by the GR® 34. After a slightly steep section, the hike continues inland to reach a cove of the Karstic Cave and then the river, which you follow to Port Manec'h.

There are three distinct sections to this circuit.At the start, there is a shaded trail along the Anse du Poulguin on the Aven, followed by a passage through the countryside along small trails and little-used roads to reach the steep coastal trail that leads to Port Manec'h, at the mouth of the Aven and Bélon rivers.Return along the banks of the Aven.Wooded landscape along the river, which rises with the tide.Discover the seaside resort of Port Manec'h, a popular holiday destination since the 1930s.
