Plougonven walks

An entrance to Finistère through the Monts d'Arrée gateway: the small medieval town of Plougonven with its parish enclosure is very close to the Gaspern forest. At the southern end of this route, two menhirs stand in a field, seeking company. After extensive restoration, the 15th-century Mézédern manor house is still open to visitors in summer. Religious, secular and natural heritage are all on display here.

This is a short, easy route that takes you through the village and allows you to discover the fully restored Saint-Agapit Church, the Porz Meur Tumulus, which probably dates back to the Bronze Age, and the surrounding countryside.

This hike allows you to discover the Morlaix river and bay from the heights of Locquénolé. Splendid views await you.

Mountains in Brittany? It's possible. Despite their low altitude, the Monts d'Arrée offer a real mountain setting with rocks emerging from the moorland. This route along the mountain ridges will immerse you in a landscape of heather, gorse and rocky ridges similar to those found in Ireland or Wales. Please note: Since the fires of summer 2022, a municipal decree prohibits passage through the peat bog before the point (10). The circular is currently impossible.

Roc'h ar Feunteun, Roc'h Trédudon, Roc'h Trévézel, a line of jagged ridges. In the heart of the Armorique Regional Nature Park, the Monts d'Arrée rise up in a landscape of moors, heather and gorse. These landscapes give off a surprising impression, marked by unreality, mystery and authenticity, which we know well in inland Brittany.

A beautiful hike, much of it taking place along the seafront corniche. Along the way, you can add a visit to a Gallo-Roman site and take a refreshing dip!

This hike takes you from the foot of the Monts d'Arrée to the ridge, which rises to 385 m, with superb panoramic views on both sides.

In the heart of the Huelgoat Forest, this woodland setting hides a wealth of heritage treasures. The Mine Canal will take you to the old silver-lead mine and then on to the most iconic sites in this legendary forest.

Does the Rivière d'Argent (Silver River), which glitters beneath the canopy of trees, owe its name to its bright sparkle in the twilight, or is it the nuggets that have escaped from the old mine that give it such a luminous appearance? The walk, which follows the mine's supply channel and then the turbulent course of the river, may provide the answer. It appears that the route is no longer passable between points 4 and 6. If you venture there, please confirm this on the comments page.

Barnenez is best known for the cairn that dominates the headland and stands out in the landscape. It is also a peninsula that you can walk around. Whether you walk along the Anse de Térenez or the Morlaix River, at high or low tide, you will find yourself in a multifaceted place, with the majestic site of the entrance to the Morlaix River and its iconic monuments as a backdrop.

A small seaside resort, Locquirec is the gateway to Finistère when arriving from the east via the north coast. The D142 crosses the Douron, which marks the boundary between the Côtes d'Armor and Finistère. During this walk, before reaching the golden sandy beaches, you will discover the rocky Pointe du Corbeau and then, inland, beautiful second homes, before arriving at the small fishing port and ending at the second rocky point: Pointe du Château.

Discover the Finistère region of Trégor and the Bay of Morlaix, protected by Vauban with the Château du Taureau. Discover that here too you are in oyster country. You will also see the Barnénez peninsula, famous for its spectacular cairns: stone tombs dating from the Neolithic period (around 4,000 BC).

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.

Hike along the GR®34 at the eastern entrance to Morlaix Bay. Not particularly difficult, but there are a few tricky descents and ascents. The trail passes by some magnificent properties and offers breathtaking views of Morlaix Bay. Best done in both directions, at different times of day and at different times of the tide.

From Perros to the pine forest, follow the customs path that winds through the heart of the Port du Diben and along the rugged coastline.

A charming little stroll on Callot Island in Northern Brittany. Pleasant beaches and a beautiful granite chapel, perched on a hill, enhance the walk. The island is home to a few houses, but above all a superb little chapel, visible from afar because it's perched on a hillock. The granite chapel is open to visitors. The walk is enhanced by beautiful beaches, as the northern part of the island is rather wild.
