The canal bank and Sainte-Croix Church in Josselin
A walk along the banks of the canalised River Oust to explore Beaufort Island and its mill, as well as the austere ramparts of the Château des Rohan.

Short heritage trail in Josselin
Take a stroll to discover what makes Josselin such a historic place. As you wander through the town's narrow cobbled streets, you can admire the many half-timbered houses, the oldest dating back to 1538, the churches and the castle (entrance fee). A very pleasant walk.
Along the Oust, from the Château de Josselin to the Chapelle Saint-Gobrien
Dominated by the tall silhouette of the Château de Josselin, the River Oust is one of the sections of the Nantes-Brest Canal. This walk follows the shaded course of the river and leads to the charming Chapelle Saint-Gobrien.
Saint-Claude route
This peaceful walk takes you through woods, along the river and across meadows beside the Ével, starting from the ruined chapel of Saint-Claude. The route, which is shaded and flat, is ideal for families. You may spot roe deer, passerines and perhaps even a flock of mallards. Not to be missed: the oak tree trunk incorporated into the chapel and the tranquillity of the woodland.

From La Chapelle Neuve towards the Floranges Forest
