This is a chance to spot some birds on this 65ha reservoir. This countryside route alternates between small roads and sunken lanes.
The return journey follows the Voie Verte, which, in places, overlooks a wild and silent marshy area.

Departure from Plonéour-Lanvern (Finistère)
From the 13th-century Notre-Dame de Languivoa Chapel – whose troubled history led to it being abandoned for a very long time, and whose restoration was completed in 2017 – this route leads to the Moulin Neuf lake, created as a drinking water reservoir for much of the region.
Along the countryside route, you’ll pass the Manoir de Lestremec (1643), which has been beautifully restored by its new owners, and come close to a solitary menhir.
