Quéménéven walks

After wandering through the streets and alleys of Locronan, follow the paths through the bocage to return via the Bois du Névet.

Discover the remains of the Manor of Saint-Alouarn and the mill, via the Quimper-Douarnenez bike route and country roads.

Make your way gently along the the Aulne following the logging trail. Views over the lock keepers’ houses located on the other side. Passage through the Vieux-Bourg and its St-They church, the birthplace of the parish of Lothey until 1846.

This route can be split into two complementary loops:- the first part follows the coastal path through the "Pointe de Tréfeuntec".- the second crosses the dune belt to reach the chapel "Chapelle Sainte-Anne La Palud".In both cases, beautiful views over the bay "Baie of Douarnenez".

From the valley where the Ruisseau du Ris flows, passing through the edge of the Bois de Nevet, this route, alternating between paths and small country roads, allows you to discover the small Chapelle Sainte-Brigitte, isolated in its green setting.A short stretch on the Voie Verte reminds you of the former railway line that operated from 1884 to 1988.

The Odet River first rolls its cool waves through gently rolling hills, wooded countryside and long meadows.Then, suddenly, upstream from Quimper, it carves out a narrow, deep gorge and describes a surprising "hairpin bend" around the Griffonès cliff, creating a wild, winding ravine framed by woods, rocks and moors.It is this discovery that I invite you to explore.

After skirting the Odet and the reaching of the old mills, a beautiful loop takes us through the wooded area of Stang Luzigou. On the return journey, pass through the Kerho Arboretum. Discover the Saint-Corentin Chapel in the area known as Kreïker.

Coastal circuit overlooking the bay of Douarnenez, passing by the Kervijen reed beds.The best time to see the dune flowers is May-June.

Loop around Ménez-Hom, the last peak of the Montagnes Noires, via a country route on the east side before starting the climb to pass the two peaks of Le Yed (329 m) and Le Hielc'h (298 m). Wide panoramic view of the Aulne valley and its suspension bridge, the bottom of Brest harbour and the entire Bay of Douarnenez. Beautiful vegetation of low-lying heathland and flowering heather from June onwards. You can visit the imposing chapel (if open) and its enclosure with its 1544 calvary.

Hike to the summit of Ménez-Hom (330 m), the highest point of the Montagnes Noires in Brittany. Great views of Douarnenez Bay, the Crozon peninsula and the Aulne maritime. A mecca for model aircraft enthusiasts.

Landévennec is well known for its new Saint-Guénolé Abbey, inaugurated in 1958, which attracts many worshippers, as well as for the ruins of the 10th-century Romanesque abbey church and its museum. The village is located at the confluence of the Aulne and Rivière du Faou rivers and offers a beautiful walk, best enjoyed at high tide.

Landévennec, at the end of the peninsula, offers several views of the last meanders of the Aulne before it flows into the sea at Brest harbour.This route, starting from the church and its marine cemetery, first climbs into the national forest and allows you to discover the Sillon des Anglais, a coastal strip of small rocky blocks.The end of the circuit runs along the foreshore where the Aulne meets the Rivière du Faou before reaching the sea.Also worth seeing are the ruins of the old abbey and its museum.
