Plémet walks

Set off to explore the surroundings of the Forges du Vaublanc, which was an important iron foundry fromthe 17th tothe 19th century. The ore came from the region. The route follows the Lié, which provided hydraulic power to the factory, then crosses the Loudéac forest where dozens of charcoal burners produced the charcoal needed to fuel the blast furnaces.

A circular route, mainly on footpaths and sunken lanes, takes you from the village of Langast, with its very old church, to the thousand-year-old site of the Roche au Cerf ford and along streams and then the Lié valley.

This hike will take you through the Rigole d'Hilvern on good paths. In the Middle Ages, according to legend, Saint-Caradec belonged to the Viscounty of Rohan. A smallpox epidemic occurred between 1865 and 1870, claiming 45 lives. Then, in 1902, a typhoid fever epidemic broke out in the region.

This circular route allows you to discover the small medieval town by strolling through its narrow streets, then walking along the leat and through sunken paths to the Notre-Dame-du-Haut Chapel. The last part of the walk offers beautiful views of the town and its ramparts.

The area around Moncontour, an ancient fortified town, is home to several châteaux and manor houses. This circular route through the countryside and woods takes in three of them: Château Bellevue, Château des Granges and Manoir du Vauclair. The last part of the route also offers lovely views of the town of Moncontour.

In the footsteps of the Toileux: 19th-century linen manufacturers; a journey back in time with the Cromlec'h de Lorette (an ancient covered burial passage) ending with the Rigole d'Hilvern: a man-made stream dug to feed the Nantes-Brest Canal - a little-known aspect of Brittany.

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.

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.

This pond tour is not difficult: the total elevation gain is less than 25 metres. Although the start may be a little tedious with its 4.2 kilometres on a greenway, the return trip is more than pleasant along theGR®37, which runs alongside the pond and offers magnificent views in several places with a host of marsh birds.

The route follows the shady banks of the lake, small gravel roads and a few quiet stretches of road. It will take you through villages with old houses, many of which have been beautifully restored. To finish your walk, you can explore the streets and alleys of the village along the river, where the wash houses have been restored.

A pleasant walk along the Arguenon downstream from Jugon-les-Lacs, following the water's edge, with a few difficult sections. Suitable in all seasons, but take care in heavy rain.
