Stretching across 81 hectares, Lake Saint-Barthélémy is flanked by a path that winds through woodland and along the edges of fields. As you wander through this beautiful countryside, imposing structures come into view: the 45-metre-high Gouët Dam and the majestic viaduct of the Paris-Brest railway line.
The older village of La Méaugon boasts a wealth of picturesque architecture. The lake also conceals treasures from days gone by. Today, it is a delight for anglers and recreational boaters alike.

Very difficult
Departure from Lanrodec (Côtes-d'Armor)
The Bois d'Avaugour and Meur offer a mix of gravel tracks and footpaths. The Tro Vras route follows the western circular loop, featuring beautiful paths through heathland, along the Avaugour (which reveals its beauty in winter, when the vegetation clears) and forest tracks. The transition to the eastern circular loop is challenging (with mud in winter) but offers sections passing by some very beautiful trees. The eastern circular loop, pleasant at the start, is less interesting on the return leg, except for the last three kilometres of descent, initially amongst tree stumps in a fir forest.

Along the way, you’ll discover two tourist attractions: the Lantic Adventure Park and Trégomeur Zoo. This route takes you through the hinterland of South Goëlo.

+968 ft
-958 ft
7h 10
Difficult
Departure from Plaintel (Côtes-d'Armor)
One of the most beautiful walks in the department, passing through the Bois des Mauriers and the Chaos du Gouët. A mixed walk, a third on roads, the rest on paths and trails. The route is well signposted in yellow on posts. The route can be tricky after heavy rain. Firstly, there is the charm of the names of the paths and trails indicated on the signs. Then there is the vegetation and its variety, as you cross the departmental forest: the Bois des Mauriers. Finally, there are the Chaos du Gouët, a spectacular pile of rocks on the Rivière du Gouët, which you skirt around.

Apart from a few unavoidable sections on tarmac roads, most of the walk follows farm tracks, sometimes through woodland. The reward for this approach route is the walk along Palus Beach, followed by theGR®34 trail.

Departure from Saint-Quay-Portrieux (Côtes-d'Armor)
This route reveals a little-known side of Saint-Quay-Portrieux.
The narrow streets lined with old buildings or modern villas link three monuments that have seen their heyday: the Saint-Michel windmill, the circular Notre-Dame de la Garde chapel and the Saint-Quay fountain, which is said to be the origin of the town’s founding.
Two parks offer a chance to take a break: the Parc de la Duchesse Anne and the Parc des Druides, where you are immersed in a setting steeped in legend.
Superb views from theGR®34.
