Les Fougerêts walks

Starting from the marina, we begin by following the banks of the Aff, a charming little Breton river. Then, crossing the Forêt Neuve, we cross the Ruisseau des Brelles to enter the Forêt Noire. At the end of the path, we can stop for refreshments in the shade of the Chapelle Saint-Jugon. The return journey is just as peaceful, taking the sunken lanes and ending up in the streets where the craftspeople's stalls are well worth stopping at.

This first day of a two-day route will take us up the River Oust via the upper reaches. We’ll be walking above the river, offering lovely views of Île aux Pies. The final stretch will be mainly through woodland and meadows.

This circular walk allows you to enjoy the panoramic views of Île-aux-Pies, then head off in search of the Chapel of Saint-Méen, the last remaining vestige of the former Abbey of Busal. It is a place to connect with nature, silence and serenity.

This is a gentle, enchanting walk that allows you to enjoy the woodland paths and the coolness of the long pond at the 18th-century Moulin de Quip mill.

The Oust Valley is designated a “Grand Site National”, and cycling through it is a great way to explore it. The Malestroit region offers several ways to explore it, whether by following the Nantes-Brest Canal along the towpath, or by crossing the countryside along the Voie Verte, a cycle path built on the former Questembert-Mauron railway line.

To cross the geological fold that extends the Landes de Lanvaux, the Oust has carved its way through the rocky plateau to wind its way through the Île aux Pies gorge. Upstream, at the confluence of the Oust and the Aff, the alluvial plain is sometimes dry, sometimes covered in water. You need to choose the right time to set off. Early spring seems to be the best season to fully enjoy the landscapes you pass through... without getting your feet wet.

Set amidst moors and woods, Rochefort-en-Terre, perched on a rocky outcrop, is one of the most beautiful villages in France. With its cobbled streets and stylish shop signs, the town is a little gem nestled in the heart of Morbihan. Starting from this village, enjoy a lovely walk along the ridges and through the old slate quarries of Pluherlin.The route is very varied, taking in moorland, woodland and ridges.Passing through the villages of Rochefort-en-Terre and Pluherlin.

This hike is circular, taking forest paths and roads on the return journey, via the Circuit des Ardoisières, the Circuit des Pins, and passing through the village of Malansac.

Rochefort-en-Terre is built on a rocky outcrop partly surrounded by the Ruisseau de Saint-Gentien. It is hard to believe that this slender stream is the source of the gorge that opens up to the north of the town, yet it is indeed this stream that feeds the beautiful Étang du Moulin Neuf. The shores of this lake, along with the rocky ridges overlooking the Arz valley, provide a beautiful setting for this medieval gem. And strolling around, discovering the hidden corners of this famous place, offers a very different experience from that of the many visitors who are content to simply walk up and down the main street.

Discover the Oust Valley and the Nantes-Brest Canal, near Redon, and Bains-sur-Oust with this circular route that combines towpaths, forest paths and communal roads. A few high points will give you a magnificent view of Île aux Pies and the Oust Valley.

Set off to explore the dry and wet moors, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. You will then come across several Neolithic burial monuments (La Loge Morinais, the Bordouès Covered Walkway). A little further on is the Pierres Droites megalithic site, one of the most important archaeological sites in central Brittany. It has 420 menhirs, around forty of which have been re-erected in their original location.

Come and discover a remarkable megalithic site in the Landes de Monteneuf: a collection of standing stones, covered walkways and isolated menhirs. Although less spectacular than Carnac, it is nonetheless very interesting due to the presence of a site currently undergoing renovation, where regional archaeologists have recreated both the dwellings of the period and the methods used to raise the stones.

An easy hike that can be enjoyed with the whole family. Departure from Malestroit, a pretty little town with half-timbered houses. The first half of the route is flat, following the towpath along the Nantes-Brest stream. The second part takes you through the countryside: fields, woods, chapels, calvaries and picturesque hamlets, following theGR®347.

Located on the edge of the southernmost fold of the Landes de Lanvaux, the village of Limerzel overlooks a wide valley where the Trévelo and Pinieux streams converge. The former has carved out a sort of gorge at the bottom of which it meanders, downstream from the Saint-Clair Chapel. The proposed route allows you to discover a very unspoilt corner of the countryside and many elements of rural heritage.

The village of Limerzel is built on the slope of the granite plateau that marks the south-eastern edge of the Landes de Lanvaux. The commune’s territory is criss-crossed by several watercourses that have carved out a rather rugged landscape. The suggested route winds its way around the wooded area surrounding Pinieux Castle and the valley bordering it to the north.

The seigneury of Couéguel occupies the northern part of the commune of Péaule. In this stretch of land on the border with the commune of Limerzel, everything bears this name: mill, farm, stream.It is also an ideal spot for a pleasant walk through heathland and wooded valleys where peaceful streams flow.
