Departure from Quimper (Finistère)
A peaceful walk through the valley where the Kermabeuzen stream flows. After passing under the magnificent double viaduct of Quimper’s north-western ring road, you head deep into the woodland, where the sound of traffic from the ring road quickly fades away. Only the murmur of the stream you’re following and the birdsong break the silence: peace and a change of scenery guaranteed just a stone’s throw from the town. The route passes close to the imposing Toulgoat Manor.

Departure from Combrit (Finistère)
Île-Tudy remained a separate island until around 1850.
With the creation of the Kermor sea wall in 1853, blocking the sea on the Pont-l'Abbé side, it is now a peninsula of the same name, located on the left bank of the river's mouth, opposite Loctudy on the right bank.
It extends inland through a vast area of polders classified as a protected natural area.
This circuit allows you to go around it via the polder.
