Locmiquélic walks

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

An easy loop starting from Hennebont. Pass through Saint-Antoine, Saint-Gilles, the Quelennec lock, and return to Hennebont via the towpath through Lochrist. 9/08/2023 Message from the moderator: following feedback, the hike has been modified at point 9 to avoid passing through private property.

Or how to take a leisurely trip from Hennebont to Pontivy? There are a few sections with cars and lots of pedestrians at the start and finish, but otherwise it's just hikers and cyclists. It's a peaceful route for walking or cycling.The landscape changes as you follow the river, making this a peaceful walk, but it can be challenging: 60 km there (and possibly the same back).Here and there, you will find places to quench your thirst and eat, but make sure you take everything you need with you. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the countryside.

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.

Hike along the Rivière d'Étel and the Rivière du Sac'h

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.

10 km hike between Sainte-Hélène and the Ria d'Étel.

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.

This hike allows you to discover many monuments from the distant Neolithic period (5000 to 2500 BC). Dolmens, menhirs and cromlechs can be found throughout this very pretty hike.

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.

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

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.

Discover a world-famous prehistoric site that takes you back 7,000 years! In addition to the famous alignments of Ménec and Kermario, the hike takes in the moving Manio quadrangle and the giant menhir of the same name, two tumuli, including the imposing Tumulus Saint-Michel topped by a chapel, and two ancient fountains. A very varied route through moors, woods and meadows.

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.

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.

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.
