Jugon-les-Lacs walks

The route follows the shady banks of the lake, small gravel roads and a few quiet stretches of road. It will take you through villages with old houses, many of which have been beautifully restored. To finish your walk, you can explore the streets and alleys of the village along the river, where the wash houses have been restored.

A pleasant walk along the Arguenon downstream from Jugon-les-Lacs, following the water's edge, with a few difficult sections. Suitable in all seasons, but take care in heavy rain.

A very pleasant circular route around the Arguenon with many wooded sections. The route is sometimes steep and strewn with rocks. There is a series of viewpoints over the river, some of which are magnificent.

You will follow a very varied route, taking in a reservoir, a castle mound and the medieval Château de la Hunaudaye. Most of this hike takes place in woodland or fields.

Ce petit circuit vous permettra de visualiser les différents aspects caractérisés par le dynamisme de la commune de Bréhand.

Cette boucle vous immergera dans un sous-bois pour continuer sur des petites routes tranquilles.

Hike along the coastal path and inland at Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer with magnificent landscapes. If the tide is low, discover the Pointe du Chevet with its islets.

Discover a magical estuary and hike in the valley from the mouth of the river to the coast. Its name, "ar" "gwen" "on" (or the white river), comes from the fact that at high tide, its bed fills with a mysterious natural foam caused by the mixing of fresh and salt water at its mouth: nature in all its diversity.

Right from the start, you will travel back in time. You will discover a medieval motte-and-bailey castle, then jump back a few centuries further to discover the Guerches, the ancestors of motte-and-bailey castles. Before reaching Pointe Saint-Efficace, you will pass the ruins of a watermill, then those of a tide mill and finally an old tide mill. As you walk along the sea, you will see Fort La Latte. On the way back, the Chapelle Saint-Germain is worth a detour.

A long hike for experienced walkers, from Lehon (Côtes-d'Armor), starting at the old Saint-Magloire Abbey (founded in the 9th century) to Saint-Pern (Ille-et-Vilaine), the mother house of the Little Sisters of the Poor. A page of history and religious life waiting to be discovered.

Loop around Dinan between Rance and Pays du Poudouvre via the Écluse du Châtelier to La Moinerie in the commune of Plouër-sur-Rance.

In Rophemel, the Rance flows through a valley of great beauty. Built in the 1930s, the hydroelectric dam submerged nine fulling and wheat mills. The dam and valley have been a "listed and protected site" since 1945. In addition to producing electricity, the reservoir also supplies drinking water to the city of Rennes. The reservoir was drained in early 2018 to carry out work on the dam. Another drainage operation is underway (2024) to carry out further work on the dam (see my hike: https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-6431... )

The Pointe du Chevet tour is easy to do and offers two types of coastline. On the west side: a wild coastline opening onto the Baie de l'Arguenon and the Hébihens archipelago that extends beyond it. On the east side: the Bay of Lancieux: the polders and small ports of La Houlle Causseul and Le Châtelet. The coastline of Saint-Jacut-de-le-Mer is bordered by 11 beaches, which you can discover by straying from the suggested route, which follows theGR® 34 to (8).

Wind your way along the banks of the Rance, stopping off at the Abbaye Sainte-Magloire-de-Léhon to visit the fortified heights and historic heart of Dinan.

This short hike allows you to discover the southern part of Fresnaye Bay with its colours and lighting changing with the tides, the Moulin de la Mer site, the village of Saint-Germain de la Mer, and views of Fort La Latte.

A beautiful walk between land and island, possible at low tide, towards the Hébihens archipelago. The Hébihens Islands are a private island that extends the Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer peninsula. This is an opportunity to discover magnificent beaches and a protected natural site with wild seascapes. Before setting off, check the tide times and coefficients to see if the crossing is possible.

In a bucolic setting, follow the course of the Ru Le Floubalay, which flows into the polders of the Bay of Beaussais-sur-Mer. In Ville-ès-Prêtres, see the sculpture at the foot of the Ferme du Maris: "À l'abri dans le Marais"(Sheltered in the Marsh). It symbolises the work undertaken to regulate the devastating effects of the tides on this submersible area.

Médréac, a small village in Ille-et-Vilaine, on the border with Côtes d'Armor. The route is particularly attractive: the picturesque Néal valley with the cave of Gabillard, a local Chouan resistance fighter, the megalithic alignments of Lampouy, the railway station, its museum and its rail bike with two routes. This hike follows theGR® 37 and part of thePR® "Circuit des mégalithes" (Megalith Circuit). The southern part of thisPR® has not been included as it is uninteresting and the paths are poorly maintained.

The Bay of La Fresnaye is one of the most beautiful sites on the Emerald Coast. Sheltered from the prevailing winds, a balcony path winds its way through sparse groves of ash, pine and flowering gorse on the slopes of the small cliffs on the western shore of the bay. The hike starts at the small hidden beach of Château Serein, follows this balcony trail offering beautiful views of the bay, passes through the tiny port of Saint-Géran and ends at the tip of Fort La Latte.

Hike to the Pointe de Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, its harbour and the seaside town.

Hike on the town side to the north and the wild side to the south on the heights of Dahouet, taking the coastal path. This walk reveals a typical little Breton port.

An easy route to discover the ruins of a mill, enhanced by magnificent views of the sea and the cliffs of Cap Fréhel.

Return trip by bike to Château de Bienassis from Les Sables d'Or, on beautiful cycle paths, a few quiet roads and a short stretch of dirt track.Don't miss: the viaduct, the sea views at Erquy and Caroual, and of course a visit to Château de Bienassis

The Frémur estuary has two different aspects: the right bank is lined with mudflats and polders, which provide refuge for many species of birds during migration. The path is lined with hedges and undergrowth, providing a cool environment for walking. The left bank is sandy, ideal for beach games in summer. It is also where boats moor. There is a beautiful view of the Roche-Good tide mill, nestled at the end of the estuary.

This beautiful route starts from the beach at Erquy, first taking in the narrow streets of the village and then the quiet lanes, before leading back to the sea at the end of the Anse des Sables d'Or. After that, it runs along the coast, from beach to beach, taking us back to the port, crossing the moor and skirting the rocks. From the top of the cliffs or at wave level, this trail offers breathtaking and varied views of this magnificent coastline.

A short hike combining magnificent views of Baie de la Fresnaye, the Plévenon countryside and the hamlets of La Motte and La Ville Tourin.

Ce circuit du littoral emprunte le GR® 34. Il permet la découverte des anciens chemins des douaniers et offre un point de vue exceptionnel, de l’embouchure de la Rivière du Frémur jusqu’au Cap Fréhel.

After a few kilometres through the Plévenon countryside, you will come to the sea with Saint-Brieuc Bay on your left and Cap Fréhel on your right. Once you have passed Cap Fréhel and Fort la Latte, you will discover Saint Malo Bay and Fresnaye Bay. Gorse, heather and oak trees of various species line the coastal part of the path. Stop for a moment at Cap Fréhel to discover the colonies of birds nesting on the rocks.

A pleasant little walk, but the chapel is only accessible at low tide, so you need to calculate the time available before crossing. The ford is a little difficult to cross due to large rocks. The chapel is open to visitors and an association called "Les Amis de la Chapelle Saint-Michel" is responsible for its renovation and maintenance.

Stroll between the beaches and moorland of the Pointe d'Erquy. Added moderator on 07/07/2021 : Attention, itinerary modification in (4). See description and reviews.

This route goes around the tip of Cap d'Erquy via the beaches on the north side and passes by the old pink sandstone quarries on the south side.These quarries were in operation until 1974 and date back to the 18th century. A superb walk, especially in good weather, which is often the case. The route is lined with gorse and broom, which you may be lucky enough to see in bloom. The northern part of the route is a little wilder and more exposed to the wind, but at high tide the waves are a magnificent sight.

Jutting out into the Rance estuary, Pointe de Cancaval offers beautiful views of the right bank: from Saint-Servan to Saint-Malo, the dam and the moorings dotted along the coast. During the walk, you will notice La Malouinière de Montmarin and its remarkable garden, which is one of the most beautiful private residences, and two tidal mill sites that bear witness to the industrial past linked to the tidal range.

The Rance once had many tide mills on its banks. Today, with the passage of time, erosion and lack of maintenance, little remains. This circuit allows you to discover the coastline, countryside, coastal path, remains of the Montmarin mills, the new mill and the dam that uses the movements of the tides for its tidal power plant.

You will start by winding your way through the Dinard countryside to reach the sea. Take the customs officers' path, the Clair de Lune promenade, and discover the many islets of the Bay of Saint-Malo. You can also explore the Goule aux Fées cave, where the Lumière brothers took their first photographs in 1877.

The environment we are taking you to is no longer the one that Thomas Edward Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia, explored by bicycle. But although urbanisation has developed considerably, the charm of the Emerald Coast remains. Let's head to the village of Saint-Énogat, the birthplace of the tourist town of Dinard, and take the coastal path around the two headlands that frame it: Pointe de la Malouine and Pointe du Moulinet.

Walking along the Chemin de Ronde between the dam and the pier, you will enjoy various panoramic views of Saint-Servan-sur-Mer and then Saint-Malo. A short boat trip will take you to an outer basin of the port of Saint-Malo. Continue on to the Cité d'Aleth, the Solidor Tower and the Rosais to complete this tour by crossing the dam.

The Cité d'Alet is a family-friendly walk, with an exceptional promontory, offering 270° panorama of the Cité Corsaire, the fortified rocks of La Conchée, Petit Bé, Île Harbour, Grand Bé (Chateaubriand's burial place), the Rance estuary and its dam, and Dinard and its beaches. It's also Saint-Malo birthplace, with the remains of the first human settlements.

Discover the pirate town and the personalities who played a part in its history.
