Discover the megaliths (dolmens, covered passageway, menhir) facing the open sea. Return via the coastal path and Lesconil Port.

Follow this short route, created by the "Lire à Plobannalec" association, and head into the countryside to discover various elements of the local heritage: megalithic sites, crosses and fountains.

Walking up the Stêr estuary, an area ideal for bird watching in areas exposed at low tide, along paths and small country roads, the trail through the dunes and then along the seafront between large boulders, and finally the port of Lesconil, which has now lost its former aura. Enough to satisfy the curiosity of hikers and give them the opportunity to enjoy a breath of fresh sea air. Please note: diversion fromthe PR® (see practical information).

The first part of the coastal route takes you along the Lesconil dune with its large granite boulders of various shapes, then along the beaches. The return route through the hinterland takes you past two menhirs, one of which is partly submerged in a marsh, and then to the Saint-Fiacre Chapel in its beautiful flower-filled enclosure.

This route combines sections along the coast, at least when hikers are not diverted due to the privatisation of certain sections of the coastline, small country roads and a path along the Ster estuary, a river whose appearance changes with the tide. Along the way, you will discover three chapels and a manor house. Please note: after point (11), thePR®® is prohibited by municipal decree. You must follow the diversion put in place (August 2021).

An easy route through the countryside along small roads and shaded country lanes. This magnificent chapel also played an important role in the Bonnets Rouges revolt in 1675. This revolt was a violent protest against the new taxes imposed by King Louis XIV: the creation of a tax on stamped paper and a tax on the possession of pewter objects, but also a protest against the harshness and increase in seigneurial taxes.

This semi-urban route begins with a visit to the Jardin des Camélias, which has been recently renovated but is little known despite its location in the heart of the town. It continues with a tour of the main monuments of Pont-l'Abbé before heading out into the countryside on the outskirts of Tréméoc and returning to the starting point via a greenway and the banks of the Pont-l'Abbé river.

This easy route begins on the towpath of the Rivière de Pont-l'Abbé, where the landscape changes with the tide, then continues through the protected natural area of the Bois de Rosquerno.
