Discover the remains of the Manor of Saint-Alouarn and the mill, via the Quimper-Douarnenez bike route and country roads.

From the valley where the Ruisseau du Ris flows, passing through the edge of the Bois de Nevet, this route, alternating between paths and small country roads, allows you to discover the small Chapelle Sainte-Brigitte, isolated in its green setting.A short stretch on the Voie Verte reminds you of the former railway line that operated from 1884 to 1988.

Every six years, Locronan hosts "la Grande Troménie", an unchanging pilgrimage of around 12 km around the sacred boundaries of the former monastery of Locronan. The last one took place in July 2025. The "Petite Troménie" takes place annually, during the five years between two Grande Troménies. It only follows small roads. This route follows this route.

Like the troménie ("troménie" is a French adaptation of the Breton tro-minihi, literally tour - tro - du minihi, derived from the Latin monachia - monastic space in the early Middle Ages), this route will take you around Locronan. You will mainly follow old sunken paths and discover beautiful granite farmhouses. Near the end of your route, a high point will offer you a view of the Bay of Douarnenez.

After wandering through the streets and alleys of Locronan, follow the paths through the bocage to return via the Bois du Névet.

Along beautiful paths through the woods and small roads, this route takes you up the Montagne de Locronan, where the little Chapelle ar Sonj chapel is located, an essential stop on the various troménies: viewpoint over Locronan and the entire Porzay region from Ménez Hom to the Bay of Douarnenez. The route continues down into the woods to the imposing Chapelle Saint-Thélau chapel, before returning via the historic centre of Locronan.

In the countryside around Plogastel-Saint-Germain, this short route mainly follows paths lined with wooded embankments and passes through small woods and wetlands, which can be crossed via a long wooden walkway.

The Odet River first rolls its cool waves through gently rolling hills, wooded countryside and long meadows.Then, suddenly, upstream from Quimper, it carves out a narrow, deep gorge and describes a surprising "hairpin bend" around the Griffonès cliff, creating a wild, winding ravine framed by woods, rocks and moors.It is this discovery that I invite you to explore.

This route can be split into two complementary loops:- the first part follows the coastal path through the "Pointe de Tréfeuntec".- the second crosses the dune belt to reach the chapel "Chapelle Sainte-Anne La Palud".In both cases, beautiful views over the bay "Baie of Douarnenez".

The first part of the route is in the countryside, returning via the coastal path overlooking the bottom of Douarnenez Bay.
