Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys walks

Before or after visiting the former abbey church, head for the tip "Pointe du Grand Mont" and discover the port "Port aux Moines".View of the open sea, from the Quiberon peninsula to Belle-Île.

A short, peaceful walk along a section ofthe GR®34Tour du Morbihan. Pass through the small port of Logéo and return via inland paths.

A lovely circular walk linking the village of Brillac to the old Pen Castel tide mill. The first part is in the countryside, often close to the coast. The next part follows the coast along a mostly shaded path offering pleasant views of the gulf (the islands) and passing through a few small villages, including the little port of Logéo.

A very pleasant hike to discover the two tips "Pointe de Bernon" and "Pointe de L' Ours". The looped route starts along the coast of the gulf "Golfe du Morbihan" and returns through the countryside.

The route leads from Arzon to Suscinio Castle via safe paths (cycle paths or quiet roads) and returns via the village of Sarzeau.

This route combines the rich heritage of Sarzeau with views of the Gulf of Morbihan and birdwatching opportunities.

This route will allow you to discover part of the north coast of the Rhuys Peninsula with its castles, the Truscat salt marsh, its megalithic sites and its oyster beds. You will pass through small hamlets that have remained authentic.

From the Pen Castel tidal mill, this circular walk follows the coastal path all the way along the Saint-Nicolas, Kerners and La Palisse headlands until it joins another path heading inland to reach the Grah Niol covered walkway. The return journey follows paths cutting across the last two headlands to reach the Pointe de Saint-Nicolas and its superb coastal path, lined with spectacular trees that are just waiting to be admired once more before reaching the Pen Castel mill.

In Arzon, the must-do activity is to hike along the path that winds its way along the headlands that close off the southern entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan, but connecting the Petite Mer to the ocean is also charming and allows you to compare the intimacy of the Gulf with the majestic panorama of Mor Braz and the islands that border it on the horizon.

A very pretty loop that takes you around Pointe de Arzon. Discover Port du Crouesty and Pointe de Port Navalo, with a possible connection to Locmariaquer to cross to the other side of the gulf.

From the small village of Arzon, the route is punctuated by passages through streets and alleys lined with fishermen's houses and other gardens of beautiful residences, as well as coastal paths. From the Bilgroix and Monténo headlands, there are beautiful views of the islands nestled in the Gulf of Morbihan. A family walk, without too much difficulty.

From Port Navalo to the outskirts of Île-aux-Moines, the northern coastline of the Rhuys Peninsula is dotted with points that jut out into the sea like the teeth of a jaw. Together with the islands opposite them, these points tear apart the waves entering and leaving the Gulf of Morbihan. The result is a spectacular sight when the power of the tide transforms the calm waters into a mighty river. Let yourself be guided along the coastal path and keep your eyes peeled!

From Port-Navalo at the entrance to the Gulf of Morbihan to Saint-Gildas de Rhuys, you will discover the Crouesty marina, then the coast and its beautiful beaches, followed by a wealth of megalithic sites.

Opposite Tascon Island, the former salt marshes of Lasné and Saint-Armel are a biodiversity reserve for both fauna and flora, and offer an ideal setting for a walk along the dykes, facing the bay between Tascon Island and the Passage Peninsula, completed by a circular route around the latter.
