Jarlot (rivière) walks

Explore the narrow streets and traditional houses of Morlaix, then follow the Morlaix-Carhaix greenway and the Jarlot and Tromorgant valleys.

A gateway into Finistère via the Monts d’Arrée: the small medieval town of Plougonven, with its parish enclosure, lies close to the Gaspern forest. At the southern end of this route, two menhirs stand alone in a field.

A walk to discover Morlaix. Along this route, you’ll find a few churches and chapels, including the beautiful Saint-Mélaine Church, some stunning murals, the viaduct, a lovely wash house and a few fountains, numerous medieval half-timbered houses, picturesque narrow streets, alleyways and stairways (which involve quite a bit of climbing), the former tobacco factory, the former monastic quarters on the town’s hillside, but also plenty of car parks and traffic – even right in the town centre – and the regrettable absence of the River Morlaix, which has been covered over by a car park upstream of the harbour.
