Questembert walks

The landscape around Questembert is characterised by wooded, steep-sided valleys through which pretty streams flow. For a long time, these streams powered a multitude of mills, which you can discover along the route, between two breaks in the rich countryside criss-crossed by beautiful tree-lined paths. As for the popinettes, perhaps we passed them without knowing what they were!

This is a lovely country walk starting from Berric. From the first hills overlooking (slightly) the Gulf of Morbihan and the Vilaine estuary at the bottom of the valleys that criss-cross this wooded landscape, the proposed route winds its way along delightful tree-lined paths enhanced by the colours of autumn. But they must be pleasant in all seasons!

La Vraie-Croix comes from the Breton "Lan Groez" (cross of the moor). A lovely walk that allows you to discover the countryside around the very pretty village of La Vraie-Croix.

Located on the edge of the southernmost fold of the Landes de Lanvaux, the village of Limerzel overlooks a wide valley where the Trévelo and Pinieux streams converge. The former has carved out a sort of gorge at the bottom of which it meanders, downstream from the Saint-Clair Chapel. The proposed route allows you to discover a very unspoilt corner of the countryside and many elements of rural heritage.

As is often the case in Brittany, the Noyal-Muzillac area has a hollow relief, in which streams of varying sizes have carved out their beds. The proposed route plays leapfrog over the Tohon and the Pont Pily and Pont Noyal streams. In between, it climbs back up to the top of the relief to visit a few villages with beautiful architectural heritage.

In the middle of moors and woods, Rochefort-en-Terre, perched on a rocky spur, is one of the most beautiful villages in France. With its cobbled streets and stylish signs, the town is like a little gem nestled in the heart of Morbihan. From the village, there is a beautiful walk along the ridges and former slate quarries of Pluherlin. The route is very varied, passing through moors, undergrowth and ridges. It passes through the villages of Rochefort-en-Terre and Pluherlin.

Finally! After years of land negotiations, the elected representatives of Muzillac have succeeded in bringing to fruition a project that has been in the works for more than a decade: creating a footpath that goes all the way around the Étang de Pen Mur. This long stretch of water, held back by the Moulin de Pen Mur dam, occupies the bottom of the valley where the Ruisseau de Saint-Éloi stream used to flow. It is now possible to walk along the lake to the Chapelle du Moustéro chapel and return via the other bank. Although the eastern bank is less wooded than its counterpart, the entire route runs under the canopy of trees that line the banks of the lake. And the icing on the cake is that the improvements made, which are fairly minor and will soon be invisible, have preserved natural sections and stairways that prevent motorised vehicles and even mountain bikes from using the path. Walkers, grab your walking sticks!

The commune of Péaule is located on a plateau that has been carved out by rivers, creating valleys of varying depths. In the eastern part of the commune, these valleys, which lead towards the Vilaine, create a forest atmosphere that is pleasant to walk through. Deciduous trees on the slopes and at the bottom of the valley, and conifers on the moors at the top, provide the setting for this well-shaded walk, where sunken paths give way to tree-lined avenues.

A beautiful walk along the banks of the Vilaine and inland.

A pretty walk between the countryside and the seaside. The Pointe de Penn Lann stands guard over the Vilaine Estuary.

Saint Cornely is the patron saint of horned animals. It is therefore fitting that his chapel is located in a very agricultural part of Péaule. But during this walk, which criss-crosses the plateau above the Vilaine, you will have other things to do than count cows and other quadrupeds. Keep your eyes open, there is much to see in this meander of the Vilaine

The Péaule countryside has a rather unique network of paths. Land consolidation has not been destructive here, and large, beautiful hedges still line the roads. Elsewhere, the Vilaine and its tributary streams have carved into the rocky plateau to create a generally wooded landscape where you can take a stroll. The long route on offer allows you to enjoy these different but always interesting landscapes, which follow one another during a beautiful day's walk.

Le port de Foleux marque la limite occidentale des marais de Redon. À cet endroit, la Vilaine se resserre et se fraie un passage entre les reliefs du Sillon de Bretagne. Le circuit proposé permet de découvrir la rive Sud de ce goulet. Il parcourt le bord de l'eau et joue aux montagnes russes à travers le relief assez accidenté de Nivillac.

Cycling tour on the Rhuys Peninsula, via cycle paths and routes, with virtually no roads. Accessible to all, no technical difficulty. Pass through the woods and marshes to reach the ocean.

Located opposite La Roche-Bernard, on the other bank of the Vilaine, the commune of Marzan stretches across a plateau overlooking the river. On these heights, exposed to sea winds, the remains of several windmills can still be seen. Streams have carved out the rock and flow at the bottom of the valleys. Where it was possible to dam them, water mills were built. The proposed route takes you from one to the other through varied and pleasant countryside.

The village of Arzal stretches from the foot of the church's pointed bell tower to the edge of the dam. Upstream, the river has become a huge body of water where thousands of boats are moored, while downstream, the maritime character of the estuary remains. The proposed route allows you to discover both aspects of the river and the bocage that overlooks it.

A country walk between Cosca, a stone's throw from the Arzal dam, and the Templar village of Lantiern.This walk along beautiful tree-lined paths and a few small roads connects the banks of the Vilaine estuary to the beautiful Saint-Jean-Baptiste Chapel, through pleasantly rolling countryside.The end of the route follows the botanical trail.The trail has been modified after the point (1), following the clear-cutting of the wooded area it used to cross, which made the trail disappear.

An easy hike that can be enjoyed with the whole family. Departure from Malestroit, a pretty little town with half-timbered houses. The first half of the route is flat, following the towpath along the Nantes-Brest stream. The second part takes you through the countryside: fields, woods, chapels, calvaries and picturesque hamlets, following theGR®347.

As you approach La Roche-Bernard, the Vilaine river winds its way through the geological folds of southern Armorica. The result is a rugged, wooded landscape that is very pleasant to walk through.

An hour-and-a-half circuit with a few tricky sections. This pleasant walk alternates seamlessly between passages at water's edge and ridge-climbing, and also spans two bridges some 50 m above the Vilaine. The bridge circuit allows you to discover a small section of the river as it crosses the Sillon de Bretagne. Get your calves ready!

A very pretty route which starts in the countryside and forest and then follows the course of the Vilaine river. The start and finish are at the very pretty port of La Roche-Bernard.

A short walk around the pretty little peninsula of Pénerf.Please note: according to a hiker, the path is currently closed after the Tour des Anglais.(It seems that you can continue by taking the inland route. Happy walking!)
