                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.

                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.

                This stage is dedicated to the wildest part of the island. The north coast up to Pointe Grognon has a few small coves where you can descend to sea level. From Pointe du Grognon to Port Saint-Nicolas, the coast is very rocky and jagged; access to the seashore is virtually impossible. From Trou de l'Enfer, return to Port Tudy via the small road that passes through a place called "Le Bourg".
