Plaine-Haute walks

Historically dedicated to Marc Faucon (a pioneer of hiking in the Côtes d'Armor), this hike will allow nature lovers to explore the foothills of the Gouët and the wooded hills of the surrounding countryside.

The Bois d'Avaugour and Meur offer a mix of paved paths and trails. The Tro Vras circuit follows the western loop with beautiful trails through moorland, along the Avaugour (which reveals its beauty in winter when the vegetation allows it to be seen) and forest paths. The transition to the eastern loop is challenging (with mud in winter) but offers views of some very beautiful trees. The eastern loop, pleasant at first, is less interesting on the way back, except for the last three kilometres, which descend between tree stumps. The extension with the loop along the Avaugour first follows an unmaintained trail and becomes difficult in summer with tall grass and brambles.

A protected site, the Bay of Saint-Brieuc can be explored via a coastal path, theGR®34, which offers opportunities to observe a wide variety of birds and discover the Gouessant Valley (very steep-sided) and a large number of beautiful cuts in the loess and silt from the Quaternary period. The route can only be done on foot. Hiking is not recommended from May to September! See practical information.

A relaxing walk around the dam lake. The path along the banks is beautifully maintained. The artificial reservoir was created by building a dam at the end of the 19th century to supply the Canal de Nantes à Brest during periods of water shortage. A gauge shows that the water level at the dam can reach 14 metres.

Cette boucle vous immergera dans un sous-bois pour continuer sur des petites routes tranquilles.

Ce petit circuit vous permettra de visualiser les différents aspects caractérisés par le dynamisme de la commune de Bréhand.

This hike can be split into two parts: a 9 km loop to the north-west, which includes Bonaparte Beach, and a second 6.5 km loop to the south, which offers views of Pointe de Plouha. Both loops follow theGR®34coastal path and include some ascents and descents that may be difficult for inexperienced hikers.

This hike was completed and written during the summer of 2015, an exceptional period when the lake was drained for dam maintenance.We invite hikers to do this walk in spring, when the colours and scents are at their best, with the clear waters of the lake as a backdrop. Since 2024, major work has been underway between points 3 and 4 with a view to building a free Himalayan footbridge for crossing the Blavet, which cuts the complete tour of the lake in two. This will still be possible for the most experienced walkers. (See note in "Practical information".

This beautiful route starts from the beach at Erquy, first taking in the narrow streets of the village and then the quiet lanes, before leading back to the sea at the end of the Anse des Sables d'Or. After that, it runs along the coast, from beach to beach, taking us back to the port, crossing the moor and skirting the rocks. From the top of the cliffs or at wave level, this trail offers breathtaking and varied views of this magnificent coastline.
