Lanloup walks
Around the Kergolo between Lanloup and Petit Saint-Loup
The Kergolo is a small coastal river that flows into Anse de Bréhec, a pretty sandy beach and a small heritage harbour. Its course and that of its tributaries are dotted with numerous fountains and wash houses. As you explore the Kergolo basin, which has been inhabited for a long time, you’ll discover a wealth of architecture, including manor houses, religious buildings and traditional homes, often restored and set in lovely gardens. Alternate routes to shorten or extend the route are available.
