Saint-Brieuc walks

Moncontour et ses châteaux
The area around Moncontour, an ancient fortified town, is home to several châteaux and manor houses. This circular route through the countryside and woods takes in three of them: Château Bellevue, Château des Granges and Manoir du Vauclair. The last part of the route also offers lovely views of the town of Moncontour.
Circular of Palus via Pointe de Plouha
A hike that begins with a gentle climb on a tarmac road, allowing you to warm up before following the GR®34, which is more rugged. The last third of the hike offers breathtaking views of the sea as you pass by Pointe de Plouha (the highest cliff in Brittany).
Like any circular, it can also be done in the opposite direction, thus avoiding a descent down stairs that may be considered problematic. In this case, you will need to make a significant effort from the outset.
Tro Vras circuit in the Bois d'Avaugour and Bois Meur
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.
The cliffs of Plouha
This hike can be split into two parts: a 9 km loop to the north-west, which includes Bonaparte Beach, and a second 6.5 km loop to the south, which offers views of Pointe de Plouha.
Both loops follow theGR®34coastal path and include some ascents and descents that may be difficult for inexperienced hikers.
Danse Macabre Route
A stroll through the Pludual countryside: chapels, woods, fields, orchards, wash houses, fountains, etc. There is variety everywhere.
Tour of Lake Bosmeleac
A relaxing walk around the dam lake. The path along the banks is beautifully maintained.
The artificial reservoir was created by building a dam at the end of the 19th century to supply the Canal de Nantes à Brest during periods of water shortage. A gauge shows that the water level at the dam can reach 14 metres.
La Roche au Cerf circular starting from Langast
A circular route, mainly on footpaths and sunken lanes, takes you from the village of Langast, with its very old church, to the thousand-year-old site of the Roche au Cerf ford and along streams and then the Lié valley.

To the south is Pointe de Minard, which marks the entrance to the Bay of Saint-Brieuc.
Plouézec cliff circuit
The western part of Saint-Brieuc Bay on the Goëlo coast is known for its cliffs, which are among the highest in Brittany at Plouha (104 m).
