Access:
- Coming from Lorient on the D769, pass the exits for Le Faouët and take the small D132 road before the forest and after the industrial estate on the right towards Le Grand Pont and Priziac. Follow it for about 500 m and park in the car park on the right, opposite the bar-restaurant.
- Coming from Gourin on the D769, go straight ahead at the roundabout at the exit towards Le Faouët until the bottom of the hill, where you turn left onto the D132, same car park as above.
(S/E) Follow the road to the right for 50 metres, then turn left and follow the tarmac road. Just before the gate to the property where the tarmac road ends, take the path that goes up to the left. After about 100 metres, turn right and go down to the mill canal.
(1) Follow it on the left. The path approaches the Ellé and follows the river to a large rock. Go down to the river, then return to the path and climb the steps to the top of the rock.
(2) Don't miss the small path that descends to the right and then stays high up before descending again later to follow the river once more. This part is a little wild. Follow the path to the water collection plant.
(3) Behind the plant, go down the car park on the right, then further on, take a path into the woods on the left. It runs alongside the river at a distance, then turns left to climb the slope of the valley. At the T-junction, turn left. The path leads to Barrégan with its stone houses. Follow the road on the left to the end of the hamlet.
(4) Take the path on the right. At the crossroads, keep left and follow the path past a spring. Later, climb the rocks on the right and then on the left and stay at the same height until the next T-junction.
Take the path that goes up to the right. At the top of the valley, continue to the hamlet of Villeneuve Barrégan.
(5) Enter the village and take the path on the left after 100 m, leaving the road opposite, and make a wide right circular. Pass by a stream and then at the next crossroads, keep to the right to climb slightly. You will reach the Sainte-Barbe Chapel.
Note: by going through the gate, you can directly access the café located above the chapel. Head left to go down the stairs and pass between the chapel and the rocks. Continue under the stone arch to reach the public toilets.
(7) Stay on the path, which descends for a long way. This will take you to the road and the car park opposite the restaurant (S/E).
