Lanester walks

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

A short, easy loop between countryside and seaside.

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 route takes in the Loch Reserve. A former arm of the sea that has been reclaimed and transformed into marshland.It's home to many species of flora and fauna. You'll cross reedy wetlands and enjoy birdwatching.

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.

A loop on the north side of the Toulfoën forest, leading to a chapel, the road "Chemin du Duc", castle of Carnoët and the Bishop's Chair.

A lovely, easy route through woodland, sunken lanes and coastal paths. However, avoid during wet weather as there is a very muddy section between (3) and (6). A break at point (10) (Roche Percée) is highly recommended.

Leaving the small port of Merrien, you follow the seafront. After returning via small grassy paths, you'll make your way up the entire ria.

This easy walk takes in the beautiful beach of Plouharnel for watersports enthusiasts, and the countryside with its menhirs and fountains.

From the small port of Brigneau, nestled in a magnificent estuary, follow theGR®34trail to Île Percée, a small island where blockhouses were used to defend the coast and, above all, the submarine base at Lorient. The return journey along country lanes and through woods takes you back to the bottom of the ria, where old sardine boats lie dismantled and silted up, living out their final days.

This cycle tour invites you to pedal through the heart of a typical Breton landscape. As you ride along, you will pass through villages and hamlets, come across chapels, churches and fountains, and enjoy superb views of the surrounding countryside, with a magnificent shaded road running alongside the Scorff valley. A detour to the medieval hamlet is a must! Your visit to Kernascléden will be an opportunity to discover the famous church with its remarkable architecture and the Maison de la Chauve-Souris (Bat House), a real immersion into the world of these mysterious mammals. Designed to combine leisure and discovery, this loop is suitable for electric bikes (e-bikes) or hybrid bikes. An ideal route for lovers of cycling, natural heritage, architecture and history. Loop proposed by Roi Morvan Community.

Two coastal rivers, the Aven and the Belon, have the same estuary facing Port Manec'h. This circuit largely follows the edge of the Belon and one of its coves, Penmor. During the walk, you will discover two beautiful fountains and the Saint-Léger Chapel.

Once you pass the Penthièvre isthmus, dominated by the imposing fort of the same name, you enter the Quiberon peninsula. The small port of Portivy enjoys peaceful days halfway between the fort and the Pointe du Percho. It is an excellent starting point for a walk between the eastern coast, where the most beautiful villas are located, and the much wilder western coast.

From the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer, "the Mecca of sailing", the coastal path leads from beach to beach to the Pointe de Kerbihan and its viewpoint over Quiberon Bay. It continues on to the recently rehabilitated Kervillen salt marshes.

This loop, suitable for all ages, invites you to discover the history and religious architecture of Le Faouët, with visits to the iconic Sainte-Barbe Chapel and Saint-Fiacre Chapel. A stop in the village allows you to stroll under the market halls and visit the museum, or simply enjoy a gourmet break in one of the shops or restaurants available.

Stroll along the cliffs of the Côte Sauvage on the Quiberon peninsula. Beautiful dunes, beaches and cliffs grace this side of the Quiberon peninsula, where the power of the sea is fully expressed.

This easy, accessible loop takes you to the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Langonnet, a remarkable site not to be missed, as well as two archaeological sites: Tumulus and Motte castrale de Kermain. You will also come across chapels, churches and fountains, as well as the courtroom in Priziac. At the end of the route, extend your ride with a relaxing break at Lac du Bel Air in Priziac, where you can picnic, go paddleboarding, windsurfing or pedal boating, or simply enjoy the natural surroundings. There is also a well-equipped children's play area by the lake, as well as at the Pontigou pond in Langonnet.

A very beautiful hike that allows you to discover both sides of the Quiberon coast: the wild west coast and the bay on the east side. Cross the large beach and return via Port Haliguen. After the large beach, pass in front of the thalassotherapy centre and continue to the Pointe du Conguel where, in good weather, you can see the islands of Houat and Hoedic beyond the Teignouse lighthouse.

This pleasant loop will takeyou through villages rich in architectural heritage, with beautiful granite houses and unmissable sites such as chapels, churches, the Château de Tronjoly, Guiscriff railway station and, of course, the Statue of Liberty in Gourin. It also offers superb panoramic views, particularly along the D187 between Le Saint and Guiscriff.
