Ploudaniel walks

The village of Ploudaniel, a rural commune in northern Finistère, can be spotted from afar by its slender bell tower with three galleries. This short route takes you around the village, highlighting its heritage and green surroundings.

A family walk in the Langazel wetland, considered to be the oldest peat bog in western Brittany. It is classified as a protected natural area and is part of the Natura 2000 network. It consists of a mosaic of remarkable habitats (wet meadows, moors, peat bogs) which give it its unique character. It is also one of the main sources of the Aber Wrac'h stream, which supplies 36 municipalities with drinking water.

The starting point for this route is at the Espace Louis Coz, marked in blue. Along this educational route, you will discover five information panels providing information about the different species of apple trees and apples in general. Designed for Sunday walkers, this route is a good route for families who want to take a short walk around the town while learning about the association's work in conserving rare apples. Each panel is located in one of the five conservation orchards maintained by the Avalou Plab association.

Walk along the Élon as it crosses Landerneau, once a port whose reputation extended beyond the borders of France. Flax, leather and wine were exported throughout Europe. The quays, built in the 17th and 18th centuries, still bear witness to this prosperous period. Easy route along the towpath and the two quays, Cornouaille and Léon. Along the route, you will find the Pont de Rohan, one of the last inhabited bridges in Europe, which celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2010.

Ce parcours suit en partie celui du Rand'abers 11 en sens inverse. Il vous fera découvrir de beaux paysages de campagne et vous emmènera le long de l'Aber Benoît et ses nombreux moulins à eau.

With its rich church and parish enclosure, Pencran stretches across the hill south of Landerneau and then plunges down into green rural valleys. The first part of this trail leaves the village and passes through residential neighbourhoods facing Landerneau. It then joins the countryside, following paths through the woods and farm tracks. In addition to the parish enclosure, you will discover the bucolic atmosphere of a tree-lined canalised stream and the surprising Fontaine de la Vierge (Virgin's Fountain), set in a small, well-preserved sanctuary.

From the village of Plounéour-Trez, take theGR®®34 trail, first following the Goulven beach, which changes with the tides, then opening onto the open sea with a view of Île de Batz on the horizon to the north-east.The return journey winds its way through the fields. Beautiful dolmen to discover.

A circular without difficulty (but take care along the roads), offering views of Anse de Tresseny and Pointe de Beg ar Skeiz, as well as a few other points of interest. Don't miss the parish enclosure.

Between sea and land, this route follows theGR®34to the Pontusval Lighthouse at the tip of Brignognan, where you will also find the Chapelle Sain-Pol chapel and an old customs guardhouse perched atop a large granite boulder. The return journey takes you along paths and small country roads, passing by the Chapelle Saint-Guénal chapel.

The route follows the coast and through the countryside in the western part of Kerlouan. Along the route, the Ménéham site, the Saint-Égarec Chapel and its underground fountain, as well as the Kervizouarn fountain. Another aspect of this landscape, dotted with impressive large granite boulders.

This route combines a walk along the seafront at Vougot Beach with a crossing of the marshy area of the Curnic Pond. The return journey is along the dyke between the lake and the sea.

Hike along the coast on theGR®34and inland to see the megaliths.

A very varied route with coastal paths, urban cliffs, gardens and shady woods, urban shortcuts and alleyways. Passages along the Corniche, along the Anse de Kerhuon, a discreet street overlooking Le Relecq and La Rade, Notre Dame du Relecq in the centre, return via the Relecq-Kerhuon greenway along the Domaine de Lossulien (private) then through the alleyways.

A very varied route through wooded areas and green passages near the Stang Alar valley, the Costour valley and its old flooded quarry. Detours, "surprise" shortcuts and exploration of little-frequented areas with passages through a few meadows, along fields and through undergrowth.

Detours via the Botanical Conservatory Garden and the Vallon du Stang-Alar, and the discreet southern part of the old town of Saint-Marc. A shady and very green environment that contrasts with Brest's reputation as a concrete city.
