Loperhet walks

A lovely, easy circular loop with varied views of the Brest harbour.

A short, bucolic walk along the Mignonne, the river in Daoulas, to reach the imposing viaduct that allows the railway to span the valley with a series of fifteen arches. The return journey takes you along a short section of the Daoulas estuary.

Discover the bottom of Brest harbour via the Logonna-Daoulas coastal path. Please note: the coastal path between points (6) and (7) has collapsed (May 2025), so you will need to walk along the beach at low tide.

An easy, short walk along the River Camfrout, offering views of the exterior of a pretty castle and the chance to visit a small, beautifully renovated chapel. Discover an Iron Age menhir that was Christianised in the Middle Ages.

A very varied route with coastal paths, urban cliffs, gardens and shady woods, urban shortcuts and alleyways. Passages along the Corniche, along the Anse de Kerhuon, a discreet street overlooking Le Relecq and La Rade, Notre Dame du Relecq in the centre, return via the Relecq-Kerhuon greenway along the Domaine de Lossulien (private) then through the alleyways.

A Yellow signposted coastal walk with beautiful panoramas of the Brest harbour (Rade de Brest). ⚠️: Some paths are very wet when it rains or covered by the sea during high tides.

With its rich church and parish enclosure, Pencran stretches across the hill south of Landerneau and then plunges down into green rural valleys. The first part of this trail leaves the village and passes through residential neighbourhoods facing Landerneau. It then joins the countryside, following paths through the woods and farm tracks. In addition to the parish enclosure, you will discover the bucolic atmosphere of a tree-lined canalised stream and the surprising Fontaine de la Vierge (Virgin's Fountain), set in a small, well-preserved sanctuary.

A very varied route through wooded areas and green passages near the Stang Alar valley, the Costour valley and its old flooded quarry. Detours, "surprise" shortcuts and exploration of little-frequented areas with passages through a few meadows, along fields and through undergrowth.

Landévennec, at the end of the peninsula, offers several views of the last meanders of the Aulne before it flows into the sea at Brest harbour.This route, starting from the church and its marine cemetery, first climbs into the national forest and allows you to discover the Sillon des Anglais, a coastal strip of small rocky blocks.The end of the circuit runs along the foreshore where the Aulne meets the Rivière du Faou before reaching the sea.Also worth seeing are the ruins of the old abbey and its museum.

Landévennec is well known for its new Saint-Guénolé Abbey, inaugurated in 1958, which attracts many worshippers, as well as for the ruins of the 10th-century Romanesque abbey church and its museum. The village is located at the confluence of the Aulne and Rivière du Faou rivers and offers a beautiful walk, best enjoyed at high tide.

Detours via the Botanical Conservatory Garden and the Vallon du Stang-Alar, and the discreet southern part of the old town of Saint-Marc. A shady and very green environment that contrasts with Brest's reputation as a concrete city.

A circular loop between the Aulne in its final meanders before its estuary in the Brest harbour and its last tributary, the Faou river. Several viewpoints on the left bank of the Aulne with Ménez-Hom, the new Térénez bridge, Landévennec and its abbey. Shellfish farming on the Faou river is currently limited to the cultivation of Pacific oysters.

A family walk in the Langazel wetland, considered to be the oldest peat bog in western Brittany. It is classified as a protected natural area and is part of the Natura 2000 network. It consists of a mosaic of remarkable habitats (wet meadows, moors, peat bogs) which give it its unique character. It is also one of the main sources of the Aber Wrac'h stream, which supplies 36 municipalities with drinking water.

The starting point for this route is at the Espace Louis Coz, marked in blue. Along this educational route, you will discover five information panels providing information about the different species of apple trees and apples in general. Designed for Sunday walkers, this route is a good route for families who want to take a short walk around the town while learning about the association's work in conserving rare apples. Each panel is located in one of the five conservation orchards maintained by the Avalou Plab association.

Following the GR®34 through the Guern cliffs, a protected area managed by the Coastal Conservatory ("Conservatoire du Littoral"), you'll dominate the bay "Baie de Douarnenez", framed by the cape "Cap de la Chèvre" on the Crozon peninsula and the tip "Pointe du Van" in cape "Cap Sizun". You'll reach the long beach "Plage de Trez Bellec".On the way back, you'll skirt the pine forest "Pinède de Trez Bihan", offering fine views over the bay "Baie of Douarnenez".

From the beautiful green setting where the Sant-Dispar Chapel nestles, flanked by its calvary and fountain, you can reach the protected area of the Rosconnec marshes at the confluence of the Aulne and its tributary, the Douffine, through the undergrowth. These meadows, which are flooded at high tide, are protected areas for the aquatic phragmite, a small passerine bird measuring 12 to 13 cm in length and weighing 10 to 14 g. This species is one of the birds protected by the European Commission.
