Locmariaquer walks

Leaving from Locmariaquer, this hike takes in the coastline of the Golfe du Morbihan, the entrance to the gulf with a view of Port Navalo, and then on to the coast and even the ocean. Along the way, you'll discover numerous dolmens and megalithic sites (including the famous Table des Marchands). ⚠️Several problems on this hike, see reviews.

A short, round-trip stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM): from Pointe de Kerpenhir to Pointe er Hourél, along the coast of the Locmariaquer area. Views of the ocean, Quiberon Bay and the Rhuys Peninsula. A very beautiful walk along numerous beaches, so swimming is possible! Beware of high tides, especially in rough weather.

The upper jaw that closes the Gulf of Morbihan is dotted with stone teeth. The circuit around the Pointe de Locmariaquer stretches from the ocean to the peaceful shores of the Gulf, stopping off at several of the sites that have made this megalithic site famous. NB: It appears that the passage between points 5 and 6 is no longer possible. Follow theGR® 34 markings, which have themselves been modified.

A circular stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), covering the Sept-Îles and Pointe de Locmiquel sites in the municipality of Baden. Please check tide times and tidal ranges before attempting the crossing to the Sept-Îles peninsula. Magnificent views of the western part of the Gulf of Morbihan: numerous islands (including Grand and Petit Huernic, Er Runio, Radenec, Grand and Petit Veïzit, Île Longue and Gavrinis), Locmariaquer, Arzon, the Rivière d’Auray and Pointe du Blair, Larmor Baden and the mouth of the Gulf. Swimming is possible in the summer months, particularly at Sept-Îles Beach. In winter, there are many birds to watch.

Stage 3 of the 5-day tour of the Rhuys peninsula, from Port-Navalo at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan to Saint-Gildas de Rhuys, takes you past the Crouesty marina, along the coast and its beautiful beaches, and on to the wealth of megalithic sites. A short trip inland will also take you to the ponds and marshlands—formerly salt marshes—which are particularly rich in biodiversity.

Located 4km from the town centre, this peninsula, approximately 1km long and 200m wide, offers magnificent views of the Gulf of Morbihan along a delightful path lined with pine trees and mimosas. A superb walk between "Argoat" and "Armor" (Land and Sea). Allow 1 hour 20 minutes to complete the entire walk and take breaks to admire the scenery.

A well-deserved rest on this hike, as part of the journey is by boat, comfortably seated on a bench. Setting off from Larmor-Baden, we take a boat across to the island and the Gavrinis cairn, built around 3500 BC during the Neolithic period, then return to Larmor-Baden, where we’ll explore the nearby island of Berder on foot.

At the heart of an oyster-farming basin, Larmor-Baden offers a wide range of discoveries: Île Berder, accessible at low tide, the pier for the famous Cairn de Gavrinis, and views of the many islets. Set back from the sea, the ornithological reserve of the Marais de Pen en Toul.

From Port Navalo to the outskirts of Île-aux-Moines, the northern coastline of the Rhuys Peninsula is dotted with points that jut out into the sea like the teeth of a jaw. Together with the islands opposite them, these points tear apart the waves entering and leaving the Gulf of Morbihan. The result is a spectacular sight when the power of the tide transforms the calm waters into a mighty river. Let yourself be guided along the coastal path and keep your eyes peeled!

From the small village of Arzon, the route is punctuated by passages through streets and alleys lined with fishermen's houses and other gardens of beautiful residences, as well as coastal paths. From the Bilgroix and Monténo headlands, there are beautiful views of the islands nestled in the Gulf of Morbihan. A family walk, without too much difficulty.

A route with a wide variety of landscapes, making a large loop around Larmor-Baden from the island "Île Berder" toward the Pen En Toul swamp, the hamlet of La Saline, the Locmiquel cove and the point "Pointe du Berchis". You'll discover the little-known history of Brittany's first airfield, the bird sanctuary and the old salt marshes.

The Petit Mont peninsula, near the port of Crouesty, is home to a large tumulus. This is a walk that can take up half a day, offering a mix of the opulence and modernity of the marina, the wildness of the rocky coast, the laid-back atmosphere of the large Plage du Fogeo, and the spiritual presence of 6,000 years of human history embodied in this large pile of stones with a complex history.

From the village of Larmor-Baden, the route takes us to the Île des Sept Îles in the commune of Baden. Most of the route follows coastal paths (GR®34). Views of the coast, the entrance to the gulf and the islands (Île aux Moines, Île de Berder, Île de Gavrinis). Option to add a tour of Île de Berder to this route.

The Gulf of Morbihan is said to have around sixty islands, but let’s not forget it also boasts a multitude of peninsulas. We walked around the Kerners peninsula one morning in June at low tide, and for us it was a chance to immerse ourselves in the very special atmosphere of this inland sea-archipelago, a true distillation of Brittany.

Hike from the Chapel of Kerners via Béninze, the peaks of Béché, Saint-Nicolas, Kerners and La Palisse, then back to Kerners. Land, sea and typical village: in short, a magnificent overview of the landscapes of the Rhuys peninsula.

A short, leisurely walk following a section of theGR®®34Tour du Morbihan.At the Pointes de Kerners and de la Palisse, views of the many islands in the Gulf from the southern side.Passes through the Allée Couverte du Grah Niol and the picturesque hamlet of Kerners with its chapel.

A very pretty loop that takes you around Pointe de Arzon. Discover Port du Crouesty and Pointe de Port Navalo, with a possible connection to Locmariaquer to cross to the other side of the gulf.

In Arzon, the must-do activity is to hike along the path that winds its way along the headlands that close off the southern entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan, but connecting the Petite Mer to the ocean is also charming and allows you to compare the intimacy of the Gulf with the majestic panorama of Mor Braz and the islands that border it on the horizon.

The route leads from Arzon to Suscinio Castle via safe paths (cycle paths or quiet roads) and returns via the village of Sarzeau.

A short, round-trip section of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), from Kerjouanno Beach to Port Navalo via Le Petit Mont, in the municipality of Arzon. Magnificent views of the open sea, the Ponant Islands (Hoedic, Houat, Belle-Île) and the entrance to the Gulf. Swimming is possible at Fogeo Beach and Port Sable. Beware of high tides, especially in rough weather. The path offers little shelter from the wind.
