Moëlan-sur-Mer walks

This fairly long walk allows you to discover the different aspects of nature in this pretty corner: cliffs overlooking the ocean, streams and green corridors, diverse forests. It also has the advantage of being able to start directly on foot from the village of Moëlan. Another advantage is that there are many variations that allow you to make the walk shorter or longer.

This route combines a countryside section through small villages with the Bois de Kermeur, where you will discover the Fontaine Sainte-Thumette and the long covered walkway of Kermor Bihan. The return journey follows the left bank of the Bélon, a major oyster farming area.

From Merrien on the right bank to Moulin L'Abbé via Brigneau. You can start this hike at point (3) (Brigneau cove car park)

Leaving the small port of Merrien, you follow the seafront. After returning via small grassy paths, you'll make your way up the entire ria.

From the small port of Brigneau, nestled in a magnificent estuary, follow theGR®34trail to Île Percée, a small island where blockhouses were used to defend the coast and, above all, the submarine base at Lorient. The return journey along country lanes and through woods takes you back to the bottom of the ria, where old sardine boats lie dismantled and silted up, living out their final days.

A peaceful walk, part of which is through the heart of the forest and part along the banks of the beautiful Laïta. There are many places with picturesque names (Fontaine aux Loups, Fontaine des Dimanches, Pont du Diable, Pont de Pierre, Port du Passage, Étang de Tailleurs, etc.), which bear witness to the former life of the "forest people".

A taste of Brittany! Fishing villages, chapels, rivers, beaches, oyster farming and sunken paths... all of Brittany in a single hike.

The banks of the Belon and its oysters, chapel, fountains and covered walkway are all part of this very easy hike. You will walk through the Kermeur woods and along the river on a coastal path that offers beautiful panoramic views.

Hiking tour to discover the banks of the Belon and the surrounding heritage: Lanriot and Saint-Guinal chapels, fountains, covered walkway, coastal path and oyster beds.

Two coastal rivers, the Aven and the Belon, have the same estuary facing Port Manec'h. This circuit largely follows the edge of the Belon and one of its coves, Penmor. During the walk, you will discover two beautiful fountains and the Saint-Léger Chapel.

Discover the right bank of the Belon and where it meets the Aven, where these two rivers flow into the sea. Return via quiet country lanes before reaching another cove on the Belon.

After a peaceful walk along small country roads to discover the Allée Couverte Arc Boutée de Kerantiec, this circuit joins the karstic cave at the Rosbraz marina. The return via the GR®34 overlooks the left bank of the Aven and then the right bank of the Belon, offering views of the opposite bank of each river.

A lovely, easy route through woodland, sunken lanes and coastal paths. However, avoid during wet weather as there is a very muddy section between (3) and (6). A break at point (10) (Roche Percée) is highly recommended.

Entre forêts et bord de mer, voici un parcours parfois technique qui donne un bon aperçu de la région du Belon. Assez bien balisé en Jaune ou Rouge et Blanc.

Three complementary and very different atmospheres for this hike:- The Bélon estuary via Beg Porz, Port du Bélon and the coves of Lanriot and Sainte-Thumette,- The countryside, with its picturesque villages and the tranquillity of the Kerfany stream valley,- The cliffs, small beaches and viewpoints of the customs officers' path. Please note: following a landslide, it is no longer possible to connect the points (1) and (2) via the GR®34 cliffside path. See Practical Information for a detour.

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.

Randonnée sur le sentier côtier bordant le bras de mer de Moëlan-sur-Mer.

A loop on the north side of the Toulfoën forest, leading to a chapel, the road "Chemin du Duc", castle of Carnoët and the Bishop's Chair.

Hike from Le Pouldu to the port of Dolëan along the coastal path, with superb panoramic views.

From the Saint-Nicolas Chapel in the heart of the seaside town of Port Mananec'h, this route descends to the beach, running alongside it at a height before joining the coastal path followed by the GR® 34. After a slightly steep section, the hike continues inland to reach a cove of the Karstic Cave and then the river, which you follow to Port Manec'h.

The Laïta river winds its way from Quimperlé to Le Pouldu. Its banks are steep and it is bordered by a national forest that shelters the ruins of Saint-Maurice Abbey. The coastal path (GR®34) allows you to reach the abbey site from the mouth of the river via both banks. The extension to the chapel and Saint-Michel fountain allows you to hike in a wilder area. The hike can be done as a circular in high season by using the Pouldu ferry.

Pass through the towns of Guidel, Ploemeur, Larmor, Lorient, Locmiquelic, Port-Louis and Riantec on a route marked with cycle route signs. Enjoy the coastal landscapes and town centres along the way.

There are three distinct sections to this route.At the start, there is a shaded path along the Anse du Poulguin on the karstic cave, followed by a passage through the countryside along small paths and little-used roads to reach the steep coastal path that leads to Port Manec'h, at the mouth of the Aven and Bélon rivers.Return along the banks of the karstic cave.Wooded landscape along the riverbank, which is flooded at high tide.Discover the seaside resort of Port Manec'h, a popular holiday destination since the 1930s.

From Guidel-Plages, this route follows the Laïta, a coastal river, up the coastal path to the old Beg Nénez tide mill. The return journey takes you through the countryside along small roads and wide wooded paths. At the end of the route, you will pass by the Notre-Dame de la Pitié Chapel and its votive fountain.

This route opposite the Pouldu marina is a simple, pleasant and varied circular route, touching on theGR®34, which remains one of the most scenic trails in the area. An easy walk along sunken paths at first, then following the Laita river estuary.

The city of painters is nestled at the bottom of an aber, where the sea becomes a torrential river. Downstream, the tides create a landscape that varies according to the tidal range. At low tide, mudflats cover a large part of the foreshore, while at high tide, the sea creeps into the heart of the woods, which form a green backdrop to the sea tongues overlooked by ancient pollarded trees. What a pleasure it is to walk here!

This route takes in the Loch Reserve. A former arm of the sea that has been reclaimed and transformed into marshland.It's home to many species of flora and fauna. You'll cross reedy wetlands and enjoy birdwatching.
