Plouaret walks

The aim is to follow the course of the Saint-Éturien stream and then the Léguer river from Plouaret-Trégor station to Lannion station. Plan to return by train.

This walk, suitable for walkers of all ages, takes you through wooded, shaded areas along sunken paths as well as fields and meadows. It features three remarkable sites: the centuries-old beech tree, the Chapel of the Seven Saints and the Saint-Éturien stream, where the lucky ones may find amethyst crystals.

The Trégor region boasts a rich religious heritage. This walk allows you to discover several examples, which, whilst not exceptional, are classic in their beauty and aesthetic appeal. This walk also allows you to enjoy the lush countryside and the Breton bocage. Moments of tranquillity and exertion are always welcome in this mild climate.

Forest paths and sunken lanes lead walkers along the "Sentier des Améthystes" (Amethyst Trail) alongside the Léguer and then the Saint-Éturien stream, before arriving at a centuries-old beech tree. The walk starts and ends at the Chapelle des Sept-Saints: a place of great significance for the friendship between Islam and Christianity.

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.

There are two historic sites along this walk: Tonquédec Castle with its walls and restoration work, and the magnificent little Kerfons Chapel. All this is complemented by a relaxing walk along the Léguer river.

The commune of Tréduder is bounded by three streams: to the west, the Roscoat; to the south, the Dour Plat, which flows into the Yar, marking the commune’s eastern boundary. This walk takes you along these streams, but numerous small streams feed into them, making certain sections very wet in spring.

The tour of the paper mill valley is a short hike through the forest that runs alongside the Léguer river and passes by the ruins of an old factory and a dam.

There is virtually no elevation gain on this walk in the Trégor forest. Just magnificent scenery, starting with paths through chestnut trees, then a walk along the banks of the Léguer, ending with a visit to the imposing ruins of Tonquédec Castle. At the end of the walk, don't forget to visit the village church.

To the south of Belle-Île-en-Terre, a forest hides many secrets. It comprises two parts separated by the Léguer river: to the east, the Coat an Hay State Forest (Le Bois du Jour) and to the west, the Coat an Noz State Forest (Le Bois de la Nuit). In the latter, with a 19th-century castle undergoing restoration and a former ironworks site (lead mine), the route follows wide paths that are sometimes poorly lit by daylight.

The Bay of Saint-Michel-en-Grève is one of the most beautiful in Trégor, despite the major cleaning problems caused by the presence of green algae. At low tide, the sea recedes so far that it is barely visible. At high tide, the waves break on the coastal road.

This circular route starting from Toul ar Villin will take you to the Port of Locquémeau and Pointe de Séhar via rural paths in the bocage countryside around Trédrez-Locquémeau. Take the time to stroll around the harbour and walk around Pointe de Séhar. If the tide allows, venture onto the sharp rocks and climb up to the place known as "Le Château". The return journey is via the GR® 34 coastal path, passing through Beg an Evned, the cliffs of Trédrez and Beg ar Forn. There are no particular difficulties on this excursion between land and sea, except for the hilly terrain of the coastline.

The Breton heritage is rich in monuments and landscapes. This walk in the forest, which, when linked to another circuit, allows you to discover part of this rich heritage, includes old ironworks, manor houses, a castle and chapels.

A very beautiful hike along the cliffs of Trédrez-Locquémeau with varied landscapes (moors, cliffs, hedgerows and reed beds) and magnificent views of Grève Saint-Michel.

Guerlesquin, a small town full of character, was known in the 11th century for its fairs. From the 17th century, beautiful buildings remain in the town centre: the Présidial, the Market Halls and the Church. The town is close to the Étang du Guic, where two fine sandy beaches await walkers.After walking around the lake, we explore the nearby forest, moving in turn from Finistère into Côtes-d’Armor before returning to Finistère. Indeed, it is the river ‘Le Guic’ that forms the departmental boundary.
