A pleasant walk very close to the town of Lorient.
After the water treatment plant, the instructions are not very clear between points 6 and 8. Many trees have been felled in the forest, which has caused a change in the route. Still a beautiful hike.

An easy route that takes two hours at a leisurely walking pace.
It's nice to be able to set off directly from Lorient and find yourself straight away on green paths and in woods. BIG drawbacks: you can hear the road very loudly for most of the route. When you get a little further away, you come to the sewage treatment plant, which has a really unpleasant smell. The wooded section after the treatment plant is the most pleasant, but it is very short compared to the 2-hour walk. A shame.
We did this walk after weeks of rain, so the paths were soggy and you need good footwear.
There is a large fallen tree trunk at the end of the route, which you have to climb over.

pleasant walk
trails, woods, countryside, little tarmac despite being in town
alternative route to complete the circular route via La Poudrière along the Scorff river to admire the graffiti art of the Lorient region;
A wonderful discovery

A pleasant route that alternates between suburbs, hamlets and paths through the woods.

It is certainly worthwhile leaving the town of LORIENT and heading out into the countryside and woods along paths that are in good condition and accessible all year round.

Easy route. However, there are no signposts along the entire route. Follow part of paths 2 and 6. At the fork, go straight ahead through the orchard to reach the football pitches (3). Between points 7 and 8, take the small path on the right to follow and run alongside the road and arrive above the barrier. At point 8, leave the stony farm track and take the grassy path on the right below, reaching some houses after a 5-minute walk at the bottom of Rue du Chemin des Fées in Kerdual.
The Visorando description and map are essential. Tracking the waypoints allows us to better follow our progress. Total walking time: 2 hours 15 minutes.

A pleasant hike starting from Lorient, which passes along trails and through woods, with almost no tarmac, very enjoyable! Takes 2 hours, though!
