Kervignac walks

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

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.

A peaceful walk on the outskirts of the town of Lanester around the Marais de la Goden, whose banks have been developed for walking without getting your feet wet, then along the Ria du Ruisseau du Plessis. Pass by the small Chapel of Saint-Guénaël and its fountain, then the banks of the Blavet facing the Bay of Pen Mané, where the two rivers of Lorient meet: the Blavet and the Scorff.

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 short, peaceful walk on Kerner Island (peninsula) between Rianterc and Pointe du Gâves. This bay fills up with the tides. Return via the old fishing village of Kerner and its Chapelle de la Trinité chapel.

This route will take you along the sunken paths of Riantec. You will cross the woods to the north of the village, walk along the old imperial road and discover the villages that punctuate your route.The paths can be muddy in winter, so don't forget to bring appropriate footwear.

This 9 km circular route around Riantec will allow you to discover all the landscapes that make up the commune. After criss-crossing the village, let yourself be guided to the small sea of Gâvres. Linger around the Château de Kerdurant and the Stervins tide mill. Keep your eyes peeled as you approach the Dreff marsh, where you may be lucky enough to spot passerines and other inhabitants of the reed beds.

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

This beautiful circular route around Lorient will allow you to discover the different neighbourhoods as well as its maritime and riverfronts. The diversity of the landscapes, the architectural curiosities and the charm of the hidden paths among the urban areas will make you appreciate this route with its changing atmospheres.

Starting from the pier, you will cross the quiet streets of Locmiquelic to the Pointe du Bigot with its panoramic view of the Lorient harbour and the mudflats that are revealed at low tide. The rest of the route will take you to the old imperial road and the villages near the Blavet. You will finish this circular loop by walking through the Pen Mané marsh, a true haven of peace for wildlife.

A magnificent bucolic walk in the Ria d'Étel, on the Locoal peninsula. It is also a historic site from the War in the Vendée, known for being the hideout of the Chouan Cadoudal. This walk is also very suitable for children.

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.

At the western end of Quiberon Bay, the Ria d'Étel, a stunning marriage of land and sea, stretches for over 22 km. This inlet is home to small authentic ports, secret beaches and famous oyster beds. I invite you to discover the Île de Saint-Cado in Belz, a charming site in the heart of the Ria d'Étel. Cross the stone bridge to discover a delightful little village with its fishermen's houses and chapel. The islet of Nichtarguer will charm you at first sight: a pretty house with blue shutters, a real picture postcard of the Ria. Then, at the foot of the Pont Lorois bridge, you will find the small Port Niscop. Follow the footpath and walk along this pretty, peaceful cove sheltered by the Ria d'Étel, which was once home to shipyards.
