Saint-Divy walks

Walk along the Élon as it crosses Landerneau, once a port whose reputation extended beyond the borders of France. Flax, leather and wine were exported throughout Europe. The quays, built in the 17th and 18th centuries, still bear witness to this prosperous period. Easy route along the towpath and the two quays, Cornouaille and Léon. Along the route, you will find the Pont de Rohan, one of the last inhabited bridges in Europe, which celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2010.

With its rich church and parish enclosure, Pencran stretches across the hill south of Landerneau and then plunges down into green rural valleys. The first part of this trail leaves the village and passes through residential neighbourhoods facing Landerneau. It then joins the countryside, following paths through the woods and farm tracks. In addition to the parish enclosure, you will discover the bucolic atmosphere of a tree-lined canalised stream and the surprising Fontaine de la Vierge (Virgin's Fountain), set in a small, well-preserved sanctuary.

A very varied route with coastal paths, urban cliffs, gardens and shady woods, urban shortcuts and alleyways. Passages along the Corniche, along the Anse de Kerhuon, a discreet street overlooking Le Relecq and La Rade, Notre Dame du Relecq in the centre, return via the Relecq-Kerhuon greenway along the Domaine de Lossulien (private) then through the alleyways.

A family walk in the Langazel wetland, considered to be the oldest peat bog in western Brittany. It is classified as a protected natural area and is part of the Natura 2000 network. It consists of a mosaic of remarkable habitats (wet meadows, moors, peat bogs) which give it its unique character. It is also one of the main sources of the Aber Wrac'h stream, which supplies 36 municipalities with drinking water.

The starting point for this route is at the Espace Louis Coz, marked in blue. Along this educational route, you will discover five information panels providing information about the different species of apple trees and apples in general. Designed for Sunday walkers, this route is a good route for families who want to take a short walk around the town while learning about the association's work in conserving rare apples. Each panel is located in one of the five conservation orchards maintained by the Avalou Plab association.

A very varied route through wooded areas and green passages near the Stang Alar valley, the Costour valley and its old flooded quarry. Detours, "surprise" shortcuts and exploration of little-frequented areas with passages through a few meadows, along fields and through undergrowth.

The village of Ploudaniel, a rural commune in northern Finistère, can be spotted from afar by its slender bell tower with three galleries. This short route takes you around the village, highlighting its heritage and green surroundings.

Detours via the Botanical Conservatory Garden and the Vallon du Stang-Alar, and the discreet southern part of the old town of Saint-Marc. A shady and very green environment that contrasts with Brest's reputation as a concrete city.

A short, bucolic walk along the Mignonne, the river in Daoulas, to reach the imposing viaduct that allows the railway to span the valley with a series of fifteen arches. The return journey takes you along a short section of the Daoulas estuary.

A lovely, easy circular loop with varied views of the Brest harbour.

Ce parcours suit en partie celui du Rand'abers 11 en sens inverse. Il vous fera découvrir de beaux paysages de campagne et vous emmènera le long de l'Aber Benoît et ses nombreux moulins à eau.

A hike through the woods, along the seashore and through pretty little villages.

A Yellow signposted coastal walk with beautiful panoramas of the Brest harbour (Rade de Brest). ⚠️: Some paths are very wet when it rains or covered by the sea during high tides.

A peaceful walk around the communal lake in Bourg-Blanc.These former meadows were used for tin mining by the Société Comiren (Compagnie Minière Rennanaise).Since mining ceased, a 6-hectare lake has been developed as a place for walking and relaxation, not to mention fishing for enthusiasts.

Short walk along the coastal path from Pointe du Château to Logonna-Daoulas, starting from the car park in the village of Gorrequer.

Let's explore the Brest Arsenal, deeply entrenched around the Penfeld, the ramparts hidden in the woods, and several viewpoints over the city and the harbour. The saying goes that Brest was completely destroyed during the Second World War... This is not true: "only" 80% of it was destroyed. This route explores some of the remaining 20% (towers, gates, ramparts, a few old streets and houses).

How to combine a visit to Brest with a beautiful walk: this walk takes you through the city centre neighbourhoods, the main streets, monuments and churches, the train station and the town hall. Start in the Recouvrance neighbourhood, then take Rue Vauban towards the Plateau des Capucins. Cross the Plateau des Capucins. Join and follow the Pont de l'Harteloire. Head towards Place Albert 1er, where you turn towards Saint-Martin. Join Rue de Richelieu to cross the Pont du Forestou bridge. Head towards Chemin du Merle Blanc before reaching the train station, then Brest Town Hall and walk up Rue Jean Jaurès to return to Saint-Louis Church. Cross Rue de Siam to reach Cours Dajot before reaching the Maritime Prefecture, Pont de Recouvrance and then the Tanguy Tower. Pass La Porte Jean Bart, then the Maison de la Fontaine before passing through the Jardin des Explorateurs to complete the loop.

Discover the bottom of Brest harbour via the Logonna-Daoulas coastal path. Please note: the coastal path between points (6) and (7) has collapsed (May 2025), so you will need to walk along the beach at low tide.

An easy, short walk along the River Camfrout, offering views of the exterior of a pretty castle and the chance to visit a small, beautifully renovated chapel. Discover an Iron Age menhir that was Christianised in the Middle Ages.

A truly exceptional route along the banks of the Aber Wrac'h, surrounded by herons and egrets. Granite boulders rise out of the ground and oak trees cling to the small cliffs of brownish-yellow silt. Be careful, this scenery has to be earned as the bank is very muddy and slippery. Be sure to wear waterproof shoes or boots and bring walking sticks to avoid slipping. Check the tide times carefully and plan to set off two hours before high tide. As a guide, it took us 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the Devil's Bridge.
