This hike near the town of Saint-Avé allows you to discover a landscape of moors and forests in the first part. In the second part, we follow rivers to discover the old mills. It is very varied, with lots of ups and downs.

The old town of Vannes is full of reminders of its dense population in the Middle Ages, which you can discover on this short walk. In addition to numerous half-timbered houses, you can admire the old ramparts and the Tour du Connétable, Saint-Pierre Cathedral and the more recent Saint-Patern Church, beautiful gardens, and more. At the start and end of the walk, the Port of Vannes and its pleasure boats add a maritime touch to this urban route.

A round-trip stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM) in Vannes, from the banks of the Vincin to the Pointe des Émigrés. This walk takes in one of the most beautiful coastal stretches of Vannes, featuring the Conleau Peninsula, the Vincin River and the mouth of the Marle. It is particularly well-suited for birdwatching in various habitats (river, forest, coast, pond, etc.). There is a long list of species to spot or hear. Two observation points are located along the route. The trail is accessible all year round, even in wet weather.

This route, which involves little change in elevation, will take you around Vannes-Golfe du Morbihan Airport. It skirts the westernmost part of the Meucon camp, where all the buildings are located; this area is safe provided you stay on the described route. It returns via the south of the airport, passing not far from the César camp (viewpoint).

This route alternates between seascapes along the Gulf of Morbihan, the protected natural site of the Vincin River – whose charm changes with the tide – and a maze of paths just a stone’s throw from the historic centre of Vannes. To finish off, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can continue along the path between the Marle and the Vincin rivers, which encircle the delightful Conleau Peninsula.

At the gates of Vannes, the Gulf of Morbihan narrows to form a stretch of water crossed by the Marle, an inlet that serves the city's port. It would not be possible to go around it if the Vannes public transport managers had not thought of chartering a ferry between Pointe de Conleau and Barrarac'h to cross this narrow stretch of sea. Then all you have to do is follow the shore to return to the starting point. However, be sure to check beforehand whether the ferry service is operating (usually from April to October). As this stretch of water is subject to the tides and it takes a good four hours to walk around it, you will have plenty of time to see how the landscape changes with the sea level. It is therefore impossible to get bored.

A beautiful walk that takes you from the Conleau peninsula to discover the mouth of the River Vannes. The final stretch of the route takes you down the River Vincin.

A beautiful walk from which you'll get to discover in the distance the island of Conleau, the port "Port Anna" and the entrance to the Vannes river. The inland section reveals some beautiful residences. ⚠️Check tide times and coefficients.

From Benalo, head to Moulin de Pomper (small flea market shop in an old tide mill). We will follow coastal paths throughout (GR®34, tour of the Gulf of Morbihan). View of the coast and the islands of the gulf: Arz, Drenec, Logodec, aux Moines, d'Irus.

A short circular stage of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan (TGM), around the Chapelle Saint-Laurent, the little village of Bindre and the Chenal de Saint-Léonard. This section of the Tour du Golfe du Morbihan, winding through hedgerows, sunken lanes and marshes, does not offer the most spectacular scenery, but it has the advantage of being close to Vannes and Séné, and accessible by public transport. Furthermore, several information boards add to the interest of the walk. From November to April, after the rains, parts of the path are muddy.

To the west of the Gulf of Morbihan, the sea surrounds the islands. In the east of the Petite Mer, it seems that the land surrounds a few inlets, as the land and sea appear to merge. This walk, which starts at Purgatoire (yes, that's the name of the place), will take you on a journey of discovery through this rather secret part of the Gulf, first along beautiful country lanes, then along the coastal path. To be enjoyed at different times of the tide.
