Park in the Town Hall car park.
(S/E) Exit 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 despite the Yellow Cross, Red Circle and Blue Cross signs. Continue 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 running alongside this woodland and pass the access road to the 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 bordered by embankments after the hamlet until you reach a road.
(5) Opposite the “Pain Bio” sign, turn left and follow this road which passes near the water tower. Continue heading north-west. At the stop sign at the junction with Route de la Véronique, turn right and arrive at the Sainte-Véronique Chapel, an ideal spot for a break in a green setting.
(6) Continue along the road as it descends, cross a stream and climb up the other side.
(7) Just before a house on the 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 soon leads to a small road. Follow it to the left, leaving all the farm accesses 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 path that runs alongside 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 and beautiful estate.
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 on the pavement and head towards the Croas an Itron crossroads.
Blue and red markings
(2) Turn right, cross the D783 with care and retrace your steps along the outward route 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 marked by a sign for “Park Sant Primel”. Follow this grassy path to the right, which leads to a large grassy esplanade with a children’s play area. Cross the play area and go round the retention basin on the right (walking anti-clockwise). Exit to the right at the Saint-Primel Fountain and Wash House, which deserve a better fate. Cross Rue de la Fontaine and follow the path towards the church.
No signposting
Turn right at the first street, walk past the town hall and arrive at the car park where you started (S/E).
