Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau walks

This route will take you on a tour of the village of Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau and its dunes. Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau is located about 25 km north-west of Brest. The dune massif and its Trois Moutons beach are magnificent.

Circular following theGR® northwards, return inland and take a short detour to Pointe du Guilligui for its superb view of the port of Portsall.

At the entrance to Aber Benoît, this route takes us to the dunes of Sainte-Marguerite in the commune of Landéda. The dunes offer a magnificent setting, which surfers have understood. The depth of the Broennou cove allows for a contrast of colours between the water and the sky, weather permitting.

A fairly short loop around the Sainte-Marguerite peninsula, following theGR®34along the coast and ending on land. A very beautiful seaside walk with no major difficulties, just a few steep slopes, particularly near the dunes of Sainte-Marguerite Beach.

A hike that starts by the sea with superb panoramic views. The return journey is inland, following the platform of an old railway line.

A superb route along a coastal path, with beautiful sea views. A dolmen and a 14th-century chapel complete the picture.

This is an easy, family-friendly walk to be done at low tide to reach Île Wrac'h on foot and enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding islands (notably the beautiful Île Stagadon), then walk along the coastal path to reach the Kastell Ac'h viewpoint and its view of Île Vierge and its lighthouse. Enjoy the beautiful coastal landscapes and flora!

It takes about thirty minutes to walk to Île Vierge and its lighthouse, the tallest in Europe (82 m) and the tallest stone lighthouse in the world.Please note: this walk should only be undertaken at low tide during spring tides (coefficient >110). Do not attempt it in mist, fog or other adverse weather conditions.The lighthouse can be visited during the mid and high seasons (seethe Abers tourist office) around high tide.

See the mountains plunge into the sea. As you walk along the two largest Breton abers, you will appreciate the different landscapes that each turn offers. This two-day route can be done in either direction, and you will notice that the landscapes are completely different. Mainly on theGR®34, the route is simple and well marked.

A short walk starting from the church in Porspoder and following the coastal paths around the Saint-Laurent Peninsula, offering beautiful panoramic views, a few rocky outcrops and a small menhir.

A magnificent hike between land and sea, starting from Brélès along sunken paths and ending in Lanildut on the shores of the Iroise Sea. Return to Brélès along the Aber Ildut.

Coastal path from Porz Grac'h beach to Keridaoue and back inland.

A truly exceptional route along the banks of the Aber Wrac'h, surrounded by herons and egrets. Granite boulders rise out of the ground and oak trees cling to the small cliffs of brownish-yellow silt. Be careful, this scenery has to be earned as the bank is very muddy and slippery. Be sure to wear waterproof shoes or boots and bring walking sticks to avoid slipping. Check the tide times carefully and plan to set off two hours before high tide. As a guide, it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the Devil's Bridge.

After exploring Melon Island, this route on theGR®34trail reveals the rocky shore with the unusual little port of Mazou, leading to Pointe de Garchine opposite the Four Lighthouse. Return via the typical hamlets of the hinterland.

An easy, flat walk around the three lakes in Saint-Renan. There is also a slight detour through the medieval town centre of Saint-Renan. These lakes are artificial. Previously, there were tin quarries here. In the 1960s, these were gradually converted into lakes. Lake Ty Colo is home to water sports activities such as a wakeboarding centre. The town of Saint-Renan is an important medieval town. The town centre still bears traces of this.

A very beautiful walk between land and sea south of Aber Ildut. Without any particular difficulty, you can plan a break on a white sandy beach and swim in turquoise water (not always warm!). Information panels at the mouth of Aber Ildut provide an insight into navigation and trade in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Take a short walk between the Lannic car park in Plouarzel and the village of Lampaul-Plouarzel, along the coast and then inland. This walk allows you to see the entire coast, from Le Rumeur to Porspaul, before heading back up to the town centre via the main road. The return journey is via a small road in the hinterland. This loop is also pleasant in the opposite direction, with the return journey facing the Iroise Sea and the Ouessant archipelago.

This circuit takes you on a loop from the village of Trézien, with beautiful views of the Iroise Sea and Ouessant. You will pass through the village, the lighthouse and the Porztevinié campsite (where drinks are available in summer) before ending up at the Presqu'Île de Seigle or Ségal, then heading back up the Kervilon road and turning towards the village of Trézien. This circuit is a loop that can be started anywhere, but is best done in a clockwise direction.
