Park in the Town Hall car park.
(S/E) Leave the car park on the left, walk past a bar and arrive at the south porch of the church. Note the tomb of a knight. Continue along the same street, ignoring the yellow, red and blue crosses. Carry on along Rue de l’Argoat until you reach a roundabout.
Blue and red markings
(1) Continue to the junction with the D783 at a place called Croas an Itron (so named because of the presence of a cross that has been moved to this spot).
Blue signposting (in the opposite direction)
(2) Cross the roundabout with care and continue straight ahead along Route de La Véronique, which leads to the Bois du Mur.
(3) Follow the road that runs alongside this woodland, passing the access road to Kerriou C’hoat farm (Quimper Bagad Cultural Centre) on your left.
(4) Turn right towards the hamlet of Penterc’h and continue along the path flanked by embankments after the hamlet until you reach a road.
(5) Opposite the ‘Pain Bio’ sign, veer left and follow this road, which passes close to the water tower. Continue heading north-west. At the ‘Stop’ sign at the junction with the Route de la Véronique, turn right to reach the Sainte-Véronique Chapel, an ideal spot for a break in lush green surroundings.
(6) Continue along the road as it descends, cross a stream and head back up the other side.
(7) Just before a house on your right, leave the road and head up to the left into the woods (blue mark on the telephone pole). Follow this path, known locally by the older generation as the ‘Chemin des Dames en lisière’, which very quickly leads to a small road. Follow it to the left, leaving all the farm access roads on your right. Cross a stream that runs through a large wetland area, pass the Domaine de Soani and reach the hamlet of Kerverry.
(8) Just before the ‘Stop 150m’ sign, turn left onto a wide track bordering the fields and continue due south (panoramic view of the rolling countryside). You’ll reach the entrance to the Étang du Mur, a magnificent 10-hectare lake set in beautiful grounds.
Red and blue markings (in the opposite direction)
(9) Follow the small road (Chemin du Mur) which runs alongside one of the streams flowing from the lake. At the roadside lay-by, turn left and head for the D793.
(10) Follow this road to the left along the pavement until you reach the Croas an Itron crossroads.
Blue and red signposting
(2) Turn right, cross the D783 with care and retrace your steps along the route you took on the way out until you reach the roundabout.
(1) At the roundabout, turn right into Rue de la Fontaine and follow it, ignoring the first three streets on the right.
(11) At a bus shelter, look out for a discreet path signposted ‘Park Sant Primel’. Follow this grassy path to the right, which leads onto a large grassy open space with a children’s play area. Cross the playground and go round the retention basin on the right (walk anti-clockwise). Exit on the right at the Saint-Primel Fountain and Washhouse, which are in need of some attention. Cross Rue de la Fontaine and follow the path towards the church.
No signposts
Turn right onto the first street, walk past the town hall and arrive back at the starting car park (S/E).
