Louannec walks

A short hike to enjoy with the family. The sea and countryside are on the agenda.

While the GR®34 or "Sentier des Douaniers" is one of the best-known walks in the region, impressive with its piles of pink granite, some of which reach 20 metres in height, the Vallée des Traouïéros is more secret but remains a magical world with the Maison des Korrigans, the Auge du Lépreux, the Trou de l'Enfer and its caves. The route proposed here takes you "from pink to green" as close to nature as possible, with a touch of grey from the slate roofs of Breton houses. This is definitely a hike that will show you all the colours of the rainbow!

Start with an urban walk to discover La Clarté and part of Perros-Guirec, then continue along the Pink Granite Coast via the Chemin des Douaniers and finish at Ploumanac'h, voted "France's favourite village" in 2015.

Ploumanac'h, "France's favourite village in 2015", is a small touristic harbour linking up with Perros-Guirec. It's the city of pink granite, as visitors can discover in the sculpture park (being redeveloped in 2016). The "sentier des douaniers" (GR®34), the "Tertre de la Clarté", the small sandy beaches of "La Bastille" and "Saint-Guirec" with its oratory and chapel, and the chaos of granite heaps are the main sights.

An emblematic site in the Côtes d'Armor region, the Pink Granite Coast stretches roughly from Trébeurden to Paimpol. This hike in Ploumanac'h offers a chance to discover part of it. Winding through the "chaos" and following the Douaniers trail and the GR®34, you'll discover one of Brittany's most magnificent landscapes, shaped by majestic pink granite rocks of all shapes and sizes. There are only three places like it in the world: Brittany, Corsica and China.

Hike in the Trégastel forest with its stream winding through various clusters of granite boulders.

Along with the pink granite chaos, the Vallée des Traouïéro is the region's second most popular tourist site. It consists of two steep-sided valleys through which the Kérougant river winds its way before separating and joining the natural harbour of Ploumanac'h. This stream forms the natural boundary between the municipalities of Perros-Guirec and Trégastel. The Petit-Traouïero flows into the Ploumanac'h ice mill (Milin Ru), while the Grand-Traouïero flows into the Trégastel wheat mill (Milin Glaz).

This circuit takes you almost all the way around the commune of Trégastel. Trégastel is the second commune that, together with neighbouring Perros-Guirec, forms the pink granite coast. From the start to the (5), the route follows theGR®34and therefore the customs officers' path, known here as the coastal path, with a short detour around Île Renote. Special feature: as it runs along the coast, the circuit has very little elevation gain.

Downstream from Lannion, the Léguer is fed by several streams: the Porz al Lan, the Kerlouzouen and the Pontol. After following the Léguer, we invite you to explore these streams, which are part of the charm of this region. All that remains is to let your imagination take you back in time to when the various mills along the banks were still in operation, washing flax and hemp and, in some cases, grinding wheat.

Located between the beautiful white sandy beaches of Trégastel and the "chaos" of Ploumanach, this short hike explores the Pink Granite Coast going around Renote Island. Among the majestic pink granite rocks and vegetation you will discover beautiful landscapes sculpted by erosion.

Between the communes of Penvénan and Trévou Tréguignec, the circuit takes you from Port Blanc to Plage du Royau, where you'll discover a beautiful coastline and local history.

TheGR®34takes us along the coastline and, after passing through several small copses, we discover the Kerguntuil passage grave next to the dolmen, before returning to the coastline to admire the myriad islands and rocks at low tide.

Lorsque l'on pense "Mégalithes" en Bretagne, c'est à Carnac et ses alignements que l'on pense en premier. Mais il faut savoir que partout en Bretagne il en existe une multitude. Le Trégor est riche de ces monuments datant de plusieurs millénaires. Au cours de cette randonnée, vous en verrez certains mais vous découvrirez aussi une superbe île aux paysages variant suivant la situation aux vents.

A very easy and pleasant hike around Île Grande, near Trébeurden and Trégastel. This hike follows theGR® trail, completely circling the island via a path just above the foreshore. The landscapes are magnificent, with lots of moorland, small coves and sandy beaches. There are some very pretty views of the sea. There are no hills (unless you want to climb up to the viewpoint on the rock to the north of the island) and the path is very well maintained. A peaceful walk par excellence.

The hike takes place largely along the coast, offering numerous and varied views. The second part of the hike crosses a beautiful bocage landscape.

Before or after a refreshing dip in the sea at the large beach of Goas Lagorn, this is a very short loop with a slight elevation gain, exploring the old path once used by seaweed harvesters. Reed beds, ferns, pine undergrowth, sunken paths, rocky outcrops and superb views of the sea await you!

An easy coastal walk. A short return trip toward the center of the island leads to a viewpoint and a superb covered walkway.

A hike through varied landscapes: seaside, moors, undergrowth, and a marsh rich in biodiversity, which you cross on a specially designed trail. Along the way, you will come across several isolated megaliths.

From the small port of Trébeurden, set off to explore Le Castel and Île Milliau with its covered walkway, then continue along the beach and admire the panoramic view from Pointe de Bihit.

This is a short hike on Milliau Island, which may not look like much but is home to little treasures such as a covered walkway, beautiful granite rocks and breathtaking views of the Port of Trébeurden and Molène Island. The walk takes you through lush vegetation and majestic rocks with a slight incline.

From Tréguier, the town of Ernest Renan and capital of Trégor with its Saint-Yves Cathedral, come and stroll along the Guindy. You will then discover the small Kélomad Chapel, rebuilt in the early 19th century, and walk along the old Nord-Trégor railway line.

Long loop taking a very beautiful section ofthe GR®®34on the Falaises de Trédrez to Saint-Michel-en-Grève. The return journey is via paths and small roads serving the hamlets. The route then rejoins theGR®®34for a short loop passing by the Pointe de Dourven. Please note: GR® diversion, see here.

There are two historic sites along this walk: Tonquédec Castle with its walls and restoration work, and the magnificent little Kerfons Chapel. All this is complemented by a relaxing walk along the Léguer river.

The GR®34 leads to the Dourven site, which has unfortunately been partially disfigured since Storm Ciaran in November 2023, but still retains its charm for its views. The coastal path passes near Saint-Quiriou or Kirio Beach and its fountain. The rest of the route follows small roads to the village of Locquémeau and its beautiful church. Please note: GR® diversion, see here.

After following the coastline, this route takes you up to a higher point to discover Pointe de Séhar and the port of Locquemeau via a section of the GR®34 trail. Beautiful views of Lannion Bay.

Locquémeau is known for its seaside. This short circuit takes you on a journey of discovery through the hinterland, passing through the small village and its beautiful church. You will also discover a discreet covered alley at the top of a cairn.

After crossing the Port of Locquémeau and the Pointe de Séhar, the route follows part of the GR®34 towards the Trédrez cliffs. The return journey is via small country roads, offering views of beautiful traditional buildings.

From the small village of Locquémeau, after discovering Pointe du Dourven, which marks the southern side of the Léguer estuary, you are invited to explore the inland countryside of the "Lokémaltèques" before returning down the customs officers' path to admire the cliffs of Trédrez and the magnificent panorama of the Trégor coast. Please note: GR® trail diversion, see here

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.

A very beautiful hike along the cliffs of Trédrez-Locquémeau with varied landscapes (moors, cliffs, hedgerows and reed beds) and magnificent views of Grève Saint-Michel.
