Prat walks

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.

During this walk, you will discover Tréguier with its Saint-Yves cathedral, narrow cobbled streets and stone houses, including that of Ernest Renan, a famous writer of the late 19th century. You will also enjoy the banks of the Guindy, a small river that flows into the Jaudy. As both rivers are subject to tidal influences, it is advisable to set off an hour before high tide to make the most of the scenery.

From Tréguier, the town of Ernest Renan and capital of Trégor with its Saint-Yves Cathedral, come and stroll along the Guindy. You will then discover the small Kélomad Chapel, rebuilt in the early 19th century, and walk along the old Nord-Trégor railway line.

This walk takes you through deciduous and coniferous woods where you can take the time to enjoy the cool air. You will also walk along farm tracks and past crops. After a few sections of road, which are nevertheless peaceful, you will return to the undergrowth and the coolness of the stream. This first part is fairly easy going. Then you will walk along the Leff river, with a few more technical sections, and the final climb will bring you to an unexpected finish. You will discover another part of the commune, not far from the Penhoat-Lancerf massif.

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.

The three chapels of Plourivo are finally united in a single hike! Lancerf overlooks the Trieux, Saint-Ambroise has its miraculous fountain, and Saint-Jean is nestled in the hamlet of Penhoat. Three chapels, three different environments. A modest heritage, but one worth discovering. Hike along the edges of fields, farm tracks and pine woods. Finish your tour by sitting down at a picnic table facing the Trieux, just across the railway line. The setting is peaceful and relaxing.

Between the communes of Penvénan and Trévou Tréguignec, the circuit takes you from Port Blanc to Plage du Royau, where you'll discover a beautiful coastline and local history.

This walk takes you along rural paths. You will cross the Plourivoù countryside through green valleys, following the Canon and Quinic streams. At around the3 km mark, on the left, you will see the Saint-Ambroise chapel. Feel free to leave the loop to explore it. Parts of the circuit may be muddy at certain times of the year, especially before and after the Allée des Chevreuils. At the Georges Kerbellec rest area, you can take the Pont Min botanical trail for a 1.5 km detour.

Loop along part of the Trieux river towards the sea and back through the countryside.

The Pointe de Plougrescant is recognised around the world due to Castel-Meur: the house between the rocks. The hike starts at Saint-Gonery Chapel, equally famous for its crooked lead bell tower. The hike continues via the Baie de l'Enfer where you can admire the Jaudy estuary, then on to Pointe du Château - the most northerly point of this route - to see Castel Meur (private property) and finally to discover the gulf before returning to the departure point along the west coast of the point.

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 short hike that starts off the trail, following the right bank of the Jaudy estuary. It then quickly heads inland, offering some beautiful views of the sea. At the end of the trail, you can visit a very beautiful covered alley, which is well preserved. N.B. Do not undertake this hike at high tide (see practical information).

This route takes you on a tour of the different faces of the Plougrescant coastline, with a variety of landscapes. The islands of Loaven and Er, which punctuate the Jaudy estuary, are the scene of major oyster-farming activity at low tide. At high tide, the islands are popular for water sports, especially kayaking.Then there's the rugged coastline of the northern tip, where raw nature and moorland take on their full character.

Ploumanac'h, "France's favourite village in 2015", is a small touristic harbour linking up with Perros-Guirec. It's the city of pink granite, as visitors can discover in the sculpture park (being redeveloped in 2016). The "sentier des douaniers" (GR®34), the "Tertre de la Clarté", the small sandy beaches of "La Bastille" and "Saint-Guirec" with its oratory and chapel, and the chaos of granite heaps are the main sights.

An emblematic site in the Côtes d'Armor region, the Pink Granite Coast stretches roughly from Trébeurden to Paimpol. This hike in Ploumanac'h offers a chance to discover part of it. Winding through the "chaos" and following the Douaniers trail and the GR®34, you'll discover one of Brittany's most magnificent landscapes, shaped by majestic pink granite rocks of all shapes and sizes. There are only three places like it in the world: Brittany, Corsica and China.

This circuit takes you almost all the way around the commune of Trégastel. Trégastel is the second commune that, together with neighbouring Perros-Guirec, forms the pink granite coast. From the start to the (5), the route follows theGR®34and therefore the customs officers' path, known here as the coastal path, with a short detour around Île Renote. Special feature: as it runs along the coast, the circuit has very little elevation gain.

The first third of this hike takes place entirely along the coast, offering superb panoramic views. You then head inland, along pleasant paths or small roads with little traffic, to discover some beautiful heritage sites. You can extend this hike by exploring the Sillon de Talbert.

Loguivy de la Mer is a fishing village once renowned for blue lobster fishing. This loop will take you from the tranquil Gouern Bay to the peaceful and famous Launay Bay, known as "Sorbonne beach", to the Pointe de l'Arcouest, the landing stage for the island of Bréhat. You will enjoy splendid panoramic views of the Bréhat Archipelago.

Located between the beautiful white sandy beaches of Trégastel and the "chaos" of Ploumanach, this short hike explores the Pink Granite Coast going around Renote Island. Among the majestic pink granite rocks and vegetation you will discover beautiful landscapes sculpted by erosion.

A short round-trip hike to explore a natural curiosity designated by geographers as a coastal spit, consisting of a long strip of pebbles that juts out far into the sea. The distance to be covered can be adjusted, depending on the state of the tide. A sweeping panorama awaits you. N.B. This hike cannot be undertaken at high tide (see practical information).

The Bois d'Avaugour and Meur offer a mix of paved paths and trails. The Tro Vras circuit follows the western loop with beautiful trails through moorland, along the Avaugour (which reveals its beauty in winter when the vegetation allows it to be seen) and forest paths. The transition to the eastern loop is challenging (with mud in winter) but offers views of some very beautiful trees. The eastern loop, pleasant at first, is less interesting on the way back, except for the last three kilometres, which descend between tree stumps. The extension with the loop along the Avaugour first follows an unmaintained trail and becomes difficult in summer with tall grass and brambles.
