From Vieux-Marché to Sept-Saints
This walk, suitable for walkers of all ages, takes you through wooded, shaded areas along sunken paths as well as fields and meadows. It features three remarkable sites: the centuries-old beech tree, the Chapel of the Seven Saints and the Saint-Éturien stream, where the lucky ones may find amethyst crystals.

The Trégor region boasts a rich religious heritage. This walk allows you to discover several examples, which, whilst not exceptional, are classic in their beauty and aesthetic appeal.
This walk also allows you to enjoy the lush countryside and the Breton bocage.
Moments of tranquillity and exertion are always welcome in this mild climate.
From Plouaret to Lannion along the Léguer
The aim is to follow the course of the Saint-Éturien stream and then the Léguer river from Plouaret-Trégor station to Lannion station. Plan to return by train.
Les Sept-Saints and the Léguer Valley
Forest paths and sunken lanes lead walkers along the "Sentier des Améthystes" (Amethyst Trail) alongside the Léguer and then the Saint-Éturien stream, before arriving at a centuries-old beech tree.
The walk starts and ends at the Chapelle des Sept-Saints: a place of great significance for the friendship between Islam and Christianity.

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.
Tour of the paper mill valley in Plounévez-Moëdec
The tour of the paper mill valley is a short hike through the forest that runs alongside the Léguer river and passes by the ruins of an old factory and a dam.
In the forest of Coat an Noz
To the south of Belle-Île-en-Terre, a forest hides many secrets. It comprises two parts separated by the Léguer river: to the east, the Coat an Hay State Forest (Le Bois du Jour) and to the west, the Coat an Noz State Forest (Le Bois de la Nuit). In the latter, with a 19th-century castle undergoing restoration and a former ironworks site (lead mine), the route follows wide paths that are sometimes poorly lit by daylight.
Tonquédec Castle and Kerfons Chapel
There are two historic sites along this walk: Tonquédec Castle with its walls and restoration work, and the magnificent little Kerfons Chapel. All this is complemented by a relaxing walk along the Léguer river.
From Tonquédec to the castle ruins via the Léguer
There is virtually no elevation gain on this walk in the Trégor forest. Just magnificent scenery, starting with paths through chestnut trees, then a walk along the banks of the Léguer, ending with a visit to the imposing ruins of Tonquédec Castle. At the end of the walk, don't forget to visit the village church.
The Pergat Menhirs and the Koad Bré Wood
This short, easy walk takes you through the Louargat countryside to discover the two menhirs of Pergat, one of which is among the largest in Europe. You’ll follow the Ruisseau du Frout through its valley, which can be quite damp in places, before reaching the hamlet of Manaty. From there, you’ll head into the Koad Bré Forest at the foot of Ménez Bré before reaching Louargat via some lovely forest paths.
Tréduder and its streams
The commune of Tréduder is bounded by three streams: to the west, the Roscoat; to the south, the Dour Plat, which flows into the Yar, marking the commune’s eastern boundary. This walk takes you along these streams, but numerous small streams feed into them, making certain sections very wet in spring.
La Forêt de Coat an Noz à partir de Loc-Envel
The Breton heritage is rich in monuments and landscapes. This walk in the forest, which, when linked to another circuit, allows you to discover part of this rich heritage, includes old ironworks, manor houses, a castle and chapels.
Reach the heights of Saint-Michel-en-Grève to admire the bay.
The Bay of Saint-Michel-en-Grève is one of the most beautiful in Trégor, despite the major cleaning problems caused by the presence of green algae. At low tide, the sea recedes so far that it is barely visible. At high tide, the waves break on the coastal road.
Circular route from Saint-Michel-en-Grève to Locquémeau
This circular route starting from Toul ar Villin will take you to the Port of Locquémeau and Pointe de Séhar via rural paths in the bocage countryside around Trédrez-Locquémeau. Take the time to stroll around the harbour and walk around Pointe de Séhar. If the tide allows, venture onto the sharp rocks and climb up to the place known as "Le Château". The return journey is via the GR® 34 coastal path, passing through Beg an Evned, the cliffs of Trédrez and Beg ar Forn.
There are no particular difficulties on this excursion between land and sea, except for the hilly terrain of the coastline.
The Léguer and its streams
Downstream from Lannion, the Léguer is fed by several streams: the Porz al Lan, the Kerlouzouen and the Pontol. After following the Léguer, we invite you to explore these streams, which are part of the charm of this region. All that remains is to let your imagination take you back in time to when the various mills along the banks were still in operation, washing flax and hemp and, in some cases, grinding wheat.
Walk in the Beffrou Forest
The Beffrou Departmental Forest is a beautiful 611-hectare area! During this hike, which includes a few challenging climbs, you will only see tarmac when crossing roads. A pond, a covered walkway, a high point offering a view of the Monts d'Arrée and a chance to discover the local flora and fauna: here, everything grows in peace and tranquillity.
The Grand Rocher and the Pointe de l'Armorique
Discover Grève Saint-Michel: a bay where the sea retreats more than 2 km; first by climbing the Grand Rocher for a breathtaking panorama, then, closer up, by walking along the beach, and finally, admiring it from the famousGR®34hiking trail. You will continue to admire Lannion Bay as you skirt around the Pointe de l'Armorique and, more specifically, the Pointe de Plestin, before following the Douron estuary, admiring the chapel and fountain, and returning to Saint-Efflam.
The Cliffs of Trédrez
A very beautiful hike along the cliffs of Trédrez-Locquémeau with varied landscapes (moors, cliffs, hedgerows and reed beds) and magnificent views of Grève Saint-Michel.
Circular route in Plestin-les-Grèves from Saint-Efflam to Sainte-Barbe and the Grand Rocher.
This beautiful circular walk is divided into two parts.
The first part follows the customs officers' path and runs along the seafront, passing numerous viewpoints, headlands and beaches until it reaches the banks of the Douron estuary.
The second part winds through the countryside of valleys and hamlets, revealing pretty manor houses before reaching its climax at the seaside, at an altitude of 84 metres, at the top of the Grand Rocher, which offers an exceptional view of almost the entire bay of Lannion and the Plestinaise countryside.
Exploring the Léguer south of Lannion
Whilst the level of the Léguer, as it flows through Lannion, is influenced by the tides, further upstream, thanks to several retaining walls, the flow is much more steady. Moreover, the entire area is protected as it serves as a water catchment area for the region.
This route therefore offers an exploration of this coastal river, upstream of Lannion, with a return journey through the surrounding hills.
Circular route around Plougonver
This easy, short walk takes you through the countryside around the village of Plougonver. You will follow pretty forest and farm tracks, passing through typical hamlets. You will discover magnificent landscapes, particularly after Kermaçonnet as you head towards Ménez Kerespers. In the village, you can also visit the Museum of Old Trades (free admission) next to the entrance to the famous Menou biscuit factory.
Along the Léguer towpath
At high tide, the Léguer reaches its maximum level. The landscape is then truly beautiful, provided the sun is shining. The green of the trees is reflected among the boats on the blue water.
At low tide, the landscape is different and the bottom of the Léguer, which is sometimes muddy, gives this coastal river a different appearance.
A stroll through the heritage of Rospez
This walk through the heritage of Rospez is offered by the "heritage" group of the "Ro'Spered" association.
