Malestroit walks

An easy hike that can be enjoyed with the whole family. Departure from Malestroit, a pretty little town with half-timbered houses. The first half of the route is flat, following the towpath along the Nantes-Brest stream. The second part takes you through the countryside: fields, woods, chapels, calvaries and picturesque hamlets, following theGR®347.

In the middle of moors and woods, Rochefort-en-Terre, perched on a rocky spur, is one of the most beautiful villages in France. With its cobbled streets and stylish signs, the town is like a little gem nestled in the heart of Morbihan. From the village, there is a beautiful walk along the ridges and former slate quarries of Pluherlin. The route is very varied, passing through moors, undergrowth and ridges. It passes through the villages of Rochefort-en-Terre and Pluherlin.

Come and discover a remarkable megalithic site in the Landes de Monteneuf: a collection of standing stones, covered walkways and isolated menhirs. Although less spectacular than Carnac, it is nonetheless very interesting due to the presence of a site currently undergoing renovation, where regional archaeologists have recreated both the dwellings of the period and the methods used to raise the stones.

La Vraie-Croix comes from the Breton "Lan Groez" (cross of the moor). A lovely walk that allows you to discover the countryside around the very pretty village of La Vraie-Croix.

Located on the edge of the southernmost fold of the Landes de Lanvaux, the village of Limerzel overlooks a wide valley where the Trévelo and Pinieux streams converge. The former has carved out a sort of gorge at the bottom of which it meanders, downstream from the Saint-Clair Chapel. The proposed route allows you to discover a very unspoilt corner of the countryside and many elements of rural heritage.

Dominated by the tall silhouette of the Château de Josselin, the River Oust is one of the sections of the Nantes-Brest Canal. This walk follows the shaded course of the river and leads to the charming Chapelle Saint-Gobrien.

Starting from the marina, we begin by following the banks of the Aff, a charming little Breton river. Then, crossing the Forêt Neuve, we cross the Ruisseau des Brelles to enter the Forêt Noire. At the end of the path, we can stop for refreshments in the shade of the Chapelle Saint-Jugon. The return journey is just as peaceful, taking the sunken lanes and ending up in the streets where the craftspeople's stalls are well worth stopping at.

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.

This is a gentle, enchanting walk that allows you to enjoy the woodland paths and the coolness of the long pond at the 18th-century Moulin de Quip mill.

From Tréhorenteuc to Trécesson, this route explores the southern part of the Forest of Paimpont and, first and foremost, the Val sans Retour. These are places steeped in Arthurian legend and provide a magnificent setting for a walk that is largely through forest. Please note that during the hunting season, certain parts of the route may be closed to walkers.

For the potential believer, this is the forest where a magician (Merlin the Enchanter) and a fairy (Viviane the Fairy) met. For the same walker, it's also where Arthur's Knights met at the Round Table. Finally, will the walker see the fairies who took to the water? before meeting the fairy Morgane, who locks up all knights unfaithful to their oath of love in an impenetrable prison of air (the Val sans Retour). A vast program.

As is often the case in Brittany, the Noyal-Muzillac area has a hollow relief, in which streams of varying sizes have carved out their beds. The proposed route plays leapfrog over the Tohon and the Pont Pily and Pont Noyal streams.

Saint Cornely is the patron saint of horned animals. It is therefore fitting that his chapel is located in a very agricultural part of Péaule. But during this walk, which criss-crosses the plateau above the Vilaine, you will have other things to do than count cows and other quadrupeds. Keep your eyes open, there is much to see in this meander of the Vilaine

Le port de Foleux marque la limite occidentale des marais de Redon. À cet endroit, la Vilaine se resserre et se fraie un passage entre les reliefs du Sillon de Bretagne.

Finally! After years of land negotiations, the elected representatives of Muzillac have succeeded in bringing to fruition a project that has been in the works for over a decade: a footpath that goes all the way around the Étang de Pen Mur. This long stretch of water, held back by the Moulin de Pen Mur dam, occupies the bottom of the valley where the Ruisseau de Saint-Éloi once flowed. It is now possible to walk along the lake to the Chapelle du Moustéro chapel and return via the other bank. Although the eastern bank is less wooded than its counterpart, the entire route runs under the canopy of trees that line the banks of the lake. And the icing on the cake is that the improvements made, which are fairly minor and will soon be invisible, have preserved natural sections and stairways that prevent motorised vehicles and even mountain bikes from using the path. Walkers, grab your walking sticks!
