Locqueltas walks

A short walk south of Colpo with varied scenery.

This route, which involves little change in elevation, will take you around Vannes-Golfe du Morbihan Airport. It skirts the westernmost part of the Meucon camp, where all the buildings are located; this area is safe provided you stay on the described route. It returns via the south of the airport, passing not far from the César camp (viewpoint).

A short, very well-marked walk in the Vannes countryside. Highlights include: hedgerow landscapes, sunken paths, woodland, a bread oven, the little Saint-Amand Chapel, the hamlets of Grand Gillard and Scourboc, and the village of Monterblanc.

This hike near the town of Saint-Avé allows you to discover a landscape of moors and forests in the first part. In the second part, we follow rivers to discover the old mills. It is very varied, with lots of ups and downs.

This walk can easily be combined with others in Plescop.

The old town of Vannes is full of reminders of its dense population in the Middle Ages, which you can discover on this short walk. In addition to numerous half-timbered houses, you can admire the old ramparts and the Tour du Connétable, Saint-Pierre Cathedral and the more recent Saint-Patern Church, beautiful gardens, and more. At the start and end of the walk, the Port of Vannes and its pleasure boats add a maritime touch to this urban route.

Dotted with sunken lanes, this route will take you on a journey through history: the early days of the liberation of France in 1944, marked by this monument to Corporal Bouétard; then back in time to the Revolution, commemorating General Cadoudal; before returning to the present day as you catch sight of the famous Plumélec climb, so dreaded by cyclists; and finally, through the lush Claye valley.

A round-trip stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM) in Vannes, from the banks of the Vincin to the Pointe des Émigrés. This walk takes in one of the most beautiful coastal stretches of Vannes, featuring the Conleau Peninsula, the Vincin River and the mouth of the Marle. It is particularly well-suited for birdwatching in various habitats (river, forest, coast, pond, etc.). There is a long list of species to spot or hear. Two observation points are located along the route. The trail is accessible all year round, even in wet weather.

A short circular stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), around the Chapelle Saint-Laurent, the little village of Bindre and the Chenal de Saint-Léonard. This section of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan, winding through hedgerows, sunken lanes and marshes, does not offer the most spectacular scenery, but it has the advantage of being close to Vannes and Séné, and accessible by public transport. Furthermore, several information boards add to the interest of the walk. From November to April, after the rains, parts of the path are muddy.

A circular route starting from Bignan, crossing a rural landscape and moorland around the two large wind turbines in Bignan, then passing by the Sainte-Nolwenn fountain. This route is marked in yellow under the name "Circuit des Landes de Lanvaux".

Circular route starting from Bignan, including the Domaine de Kerguéhennec and, in particular, the Chapelle de la Trinité. This route is marked in yellow.

A hike through forest and heritage: Lanvaux national forest, Saint-Mériadec chapel, Notre-Dame de Fatima aux Granges, the tomb of the seven holes and the forest pond.

This route winds its way through forests and valleys, alongside the River Tarun. There is the option to shorten the route or take a detour via the ridges. A moment of tranquillity in a bucolic natural setting

At the gates of Vannes, the Gulf of Morbihan narrows to form a stretch of water crossed by the Marle, an inlet that serves the city's port. It would not be possible to go around it if the Vannes public transport managers had not thought of chartering a ferry between Pointe de Conleau and Barrarac'h to cross this narrow stretch of sea. Then all you have to do is follow the shore to return to the starting point. However, be sure to check beforehand whether the ferry service is operating (usually from April to October). As this stretch of water is subject to the tides and it takes a good four hours to walk around it, you will have plenty of time to see how the landscape changes with the sea level. It is therefore impossible to get bored.

This route alternates between seascapes along the Gulf of Morbihan, the protected natural site of the Vincin River – whose charm changes with the tide – and a maze of paths just a stone’s throw from the historic centre of Vannes. To finish off, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can continue along the path between the Marle and the Vincin rivers, which encircle the delightful Conleau Peninsula.

A beautiful walk that takes you from the Conleau peninsula to discover the mouth of the River Vannes. The final stretch of the route takes you down the River Vincin.

A circular loop in the Pont-Sal woods with a return trip to the Rochers du Cerf site in the commune of Plougoumelen. Forest, valley, river and countryside scenery. Includes a botanical trail. Suitable for all seasons.

This is a pleasant and varied walk which, from Pont-Sal, follows the left bank of the Sal estuary, passing in front of the Pont-Sal mill via a recent footpath (created in 2017). It continues along the Bono river to the Kervilio mill. The return journey takes you past the Becquerel Chapel and the village of Plougoumelen to Pont-Sal via a series of paths typical of the Breton bocage. You'll want to come back again.

A beautiful walk from which you'll get to discover in the distance the island of Conleau, the port "Port Anna" and the entrance to the Vannes river. The inland section reveals some beautiful residences. ⚠️Check tide times and coefficients.

From Benalo, head to Moulin de Pomper (small flea market shop in an old tide mill). We will follow coastal paths throughout (GR®34, tour of the Gulf of Morbihan). View of the coast and the islands of the gulf: Arz, Drenec, Logodec, aux Moines, d'Irus.

To the west of the Gulf of Morbihan, the sea surrounds the islands. In the east of the Petite Mer, it seems that the land surrounds a few inlets, as the land and sea appear to merge. This walk, which starts at Purgatoire (yes, that's the name of the place), will take you on a journey of discovery through this rather secret part of the Gulf, first along beautiful country lanes, then along the coastal path. To be enjoyed at different times of the tide.

Follow the Goyerdon stream for a peaceful stroll, accompanied by birdsong and the murmur of the clear water. Keep your eyes peeled… the Korrigans, mischievous Breton sprites, might well be hiding amongst the small granite boulders lining the path.

Dog-friendly circular walk to discover the start of Vannes river, at the end of the Gulf of Morbihan. Nice view on the marshes of Séné and some beautiful houses. Part of a birds sanctuary.

A short circular section of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), through the hamlets of Les Quatre Vents, Cressignan and Michotte, starting from the Séné bird sanctuary. This section of the Gulf of Morbihan is not the most spectacular, but several information boards add to the interest of the walk. It is all the more interesting if you combine it with a visit to the bird sanctuary, part of which is open all year round and the other, the most beautiful part, only for part of the year and at certain times (see practical information).

From the Moulin de Pomper (a small second-hand shop housed in a former tide mill) to Larmor-Baden. Much of the route will follow coastal paths (GR®34). Views of the coast and the islands in the gulf.

A very pleasant walk from the old Pomper Mill, now converted into an antique shop, to Pointe d'Arradon. The route starts along the coast of the Gulf of Morbihan and returns through the countryside. Discover the village of Le Moustoir with its old farmhouses.

A short round-trip walk from the Moulin de Kervilio in the commune of Le Bono to the Pointe de Kerisper in the commune of Pluneret. The route follows the River Bono to its confluence with the River Auray, passing through the port and across the old suspension bridge. Suitable for all seasons, but wear good walking shoes after rain!

This mainly coastal route departs from an old tide mill and heads to Port-Blanc. On the return journey, discover the Penmern Chapel and its magnificent maritime ex-votos.

Starting from La Chapelle-Neuve, home to the oldest chapel in the department, we invite you to discover the springs of all the neighbouring streams, some of which feature fountains, such as the one at Saint-Mamert near Locmaria. You will then walk through the Floranges Forest where, with a few short detours (not described below), there are three megalithic monuments to see.

In the heart of the Floranges state-owned forest, this route takes you to the Notre-Dame de la Fosse spring, the River Tarun, the Goyerdon stream and the Roh-Du dolmens. An immersion in the heart of nature and local history.

Starting from Guéhenno, famous for its monumental calvary, the route passes through several hamlets around the River Sédon, as well as through woods and along field edges. Most of the route is on paths and, occasionally, on a few quiet roads.

Wet and dry moorland, woods, embankments, river, sea, mudflats, wet meadows... the natural environments are all interwoven here. The banks of the River Sal are also home to the Sainte-Avoye chapel.

A short hike that will allow you to discover the shores of the Gulf of Bois Bas, passing along Anse de Moustran, Toulindac Beach and Anse de Kerledan.

This hike allows you to discover the small village of Mériadec (with some beautiful stone houses), Pointe du Blair (with beautiful villas on a protected estate) and to walk along part of the Rivière d'Auray.

After the villages of Meriadec and Le Parun, where we will discover old houses and cottages, this walk will take us along the Auray River (Loc'h) and then the Bono River (Bono) to the small port. A very pretty walk, partly through woodland and partly along the coast.

Circular route from Baden to Larmor-Baden allowing you to discover the Toulvern Dolmen, the Pointe de Locmiquel and views of the islands of Er Runio, Grand Veïzit and Radenec.At low tide, it is possible to circumnavigate the “7 Islands”.
