Plouigneau walks

A gateway into Finistère via the Monts d’Arrée: the small medieval town of Plougonven, with its parish enclosure, lies close to the Gaspern forest. At the southern end of this route, two menhirs stand alone in a field.

This walk was created for guests at the Ferme de Croaz Men (Croaz Men on maps). However, part of the route described here, which bypasses the farm, is accessible to everyone starting from Garlan. It is a short circular route that takes you past a wash house, a few pretty houses with their hydrangeas, and crosses the River Dourduff. Guests at Croas Men, see this link.

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.

A walk to discover Morlaix. Along this route, you’ll find a few churches and chapels, including the beautiful Saint-Mélaine Church, some stunning murals, the viaduct, a lovely wash house and a few fountains, numerous medieval half-timbered houses, picturesque narrow streets, alleyways and stairways (which involve quite a bit of climbing), the former tobacco factory, the former monastic quarters on the town’s hillside, but also plenty of car parks and traffic – even right in the town centre – and the regrettable absence of the River Morlaix, which has been covered over by a car park upstream of the harbour.

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.

This is an easy walk, except for the distance, which combines sunken paths and wide forest lanes, as well as chapels and castles, not to mention streams and brooks, with the English Channel as a backdrop.

After crossing a residential area via shaded paths, don’t be put off by a short stretch of tarmac running parallel to the main road. After Bot-Balan, the route consists solely of forest paths along the river. After the Chapel of La Salette, a magnificent covered walkway will take you back to the start.

A picturesque walk through woods and fields with panoramic views of Morlaix Bay.

Setting off from Plestin-les-Grèves, you very quickly catch sight of Grève Saint-Michel, where, at low tide, the English Channel recedes into the horizon, creating a vast expanse for all kinds of wind sports: sand yachting, windsurfing, kite flying, etc...
