At the end of the 19th century, following Pont-Aven, Le Pouldu in Clohars-Carnoët became a refuge for several painters from the Pont-Aven School, such as Paul Gauguin, Meyer de Haan, Paul Sérusier, Charles Filiger and many others. The seaside and the lush countryside inspired these artists, who captured them in their paintings.The countryside sections have retained many lovely, shaded sunken paths. Three restored chapels and a windmill add a lovely heritage touch to this walk.

Of the rias in Moëlan-sur-Mer, the Bélon is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful. Starting from Anse de Kerfany, the proposed route first goes up the dark, damp valley that leads to this beach. At Blorimond, head north to reach Anse du Lanriot. When you reach Bélon, the river of the same name reveals itself in all its majesty. Then simply follow the GR®34 markings to return to the starting point, staying as close as possible to this magnificent inlet.
