Oust (rivière) 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.

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.

Discover the Oust Valley and the Nantes-Brest Canal, near Redon, and Bains-sur-Oust with this circular route that combines towpaths, forest paths and communal roads. A few high points will give you a magnificent view of Île aux Pies and the Oust Valley.

This circular walk allows you to enjoy the panoramic views of Île-aux-Pies, then head off in search of the Chapel of Saint-Méen, the last remaining vestige of the former Abbey of Busal. It is a place to connect with nature, silence and serenity.

Take a stroll to discover what makes Josselin such a historic place. As you wander through the town's narrow cobbled streets, you can admire the many half-timbered houses, the oldest dating back to 1538, the churches and the castle (entrance fee). A very pleasant walk.
