Ploemeur walks

A short, easy loop between countryside and seaside.

This route takes in the Loch Reserve. A former arm of the sea that has been reclaimed and transformed into marshland.It's home to many species of flora and fauna. You'll cross reedy wetlands and enjoy birdwatching.

This walk takes you along the Blavet estuary, between woodlands and salted meadows. Beautiful landscapes, fauna, flora, and a fascinating boat cemetery.

A lovely, easy route through woodland, sunken lanes and coastal paths. However, avoid during wet weather as there is a very muddy section between (3) and (6). A break at point (10) (Roche Percée) is highly recommended.

An easy loop starting from Hennebont. Pass through Saint-Antoine, Saint-Gilles, the Quelennec lock, and return to Hennebont via the towpath through Lochrist. 9/08/2023 Message from the moderator: following feedback, the hike has been modified at point 9 to avoid passing through private property.

Or how to take a leisurely trip from Hennebont to Pontivy? There are a few sections with cars and lots of pedestrians at the start and finish, but otherwise it's just hikers and cyclists. It's a peaceful route for walking or cycling.The landscape changes as you follow the river, making this a peaceful walk, but it can be challenging: 60 km there (and possibly the same back).Here and there, you will find places to quench your thirst and eat, but make sure you take everything you need with you. Enjoy the peace and quiet and the countryside.

A loop on the north side of the Toulfoën forest, leading to a chapel, the road "Chemin du Duc", castle of Carnoët and the Bishop's Chair.

The Ria d'Étel is always changing. At low tide, vast expanses of mudflats are interspersed with tiny or larger areas covered with all kinds of plants and birds. At high tide, it is the sea with its tiny or large islets. And inland, there is low-lying, sometimes marshy land with pine forests stretching to the coast, on sandy, sometimes rocky soil. And there is no shortage of colour. I have been there several times and the photos of the same place are never the same.

Leaving the small port of Merrien, you follow the seafront. After returning via small grassy paths, you'll make your way up the entire ria.

Hike along the Rivière d'Étel and the Rivière du Sac'h

A beautiful walk along part of the Rivière d'Étel, taking in the Île de Saint-Cado and the little house on the Île de Nichtarguer.

From the small port of Brigneau, nestled in a magnificent estuary, follow theGR®34trail to Île Percée, a small island where blockhouses were used to defend the coast and, above all, the submarine base at Lorient. The return journey along country lanes and through woods takes you back to the bottom of the ria, where old sardine boats lie dismantled and silted up, living out their final days.

10 km hike between Sainte-Hélène and the Ria d'Étel.

After a peaceful walk along small country roads to discover the Allée Couverte Arc Boutée de Kerantiec, this circuit joins the karstic cave at the Rosbraz marina. The return via the GR®34 overlooks the left bank of the Aven and then the right bank of the Belon, offering views of the opposite bank of each river.

Entre forêts et bord de mer, voici un parcours parfois technique qui donne un bon aperçu de la région du Belon. Assez bien balisé en Jaune ou Rouge et Blanc.

Randonnée sur le sentier côtier bordant le bras de mer de Moëlan-sur-Mer.

Two coastal rivers, the Aven and the Belon, have the same estuary facing Port Manec'h. This circuit largely follows the edge of the Belon and one of its coves, Penmor. During the walk, you will discover two beautiful fountains and the Saint-Léger Chapel.

Discover the right bank of the Belon and where it meets the Aven, where these two rivers flow into the sea. Return via quiet country lanes before reaching another cove on the Belon.

This hike allows you to discover many monuments from the distant Neolithic period (5000 to 2500 BC). Dolmens, menhirs and cromlechs can be found throughout this very pretty hike.

This easy walk takes in the beautiful beach of Plouharnel for watersports enthusiasts, and the countryside with its menhirs and fountains.

Once you pass the Penthièvre isthmus, dominated by the imposing fort of the same name, you enter the Quiberon peninsula. The small port of Portivy enjoys peaceful days halfway between the fort and the Pointe du Percho. It is an excellent starting point for a walk between the eastern coast, where the most beautiful villas are located, and the much wilder western coast.

Stroll along the cliffs of the Côte Sauvage on the Quiberon peninsula. Beautiful dunes, beaches and cliffs grace this side of the Quiberon peninsula, where the power of the sea is fully expressed.
