Saint-Jean-Trolimon walks

Discover two churches, three chapels and picturesque hamlets in the countryside between Saint-Jean-Trolimon and Plomeur via idyllic footpaths, farm tracks and quiet country lanes.

An easy route through the countryside along small roads and shaded country lanes. This magnificent chapel also played an important role in the Bonnets Rouges revolt in 1675. This revolt was a violent protest against the new taxes imposed by King Louis XIV: the creation of a tax on stamped paper and a tax on the possession of pewter objects, but also a protest against the harshness and increase in seigneurial taxes.

Countryside route allowing you to discover the Kerfland Menhirs as well as Saint-Côme Chapel and its fountain.

Discover an exceptional religious, megalithic and natural heritage between the village of Plomeur and Pointe de la Torche, via bucolic footpaths, farm tracks and quiet country lanes.

From the Bonne-Nouvelle Chapel, Kelou Mad in Breton, a route along a sunken lane and path bordering a wetland area where the Pont-l'Abbé River flows after passing through the Moulin Neuf reservoir leads to the edge of this body of water. The route continues around this reserve, created in 1977 to supply drinking water to eleven municipalities in the Pont-l'Abbé region. Visitors can enjoy the peaceful, shaded surroundings and take the time to observe the birds that frequent this stretch of water.

This route, starting from the Chapel of Tronoën, or Tronoan, known as the "cathedral of the dunes" and its famous calvary, will take us on a journey of discovery to see menhirs and dolmens. After passing the Chapel of Beuzec-Cap-Caval, we return along the coast and through the dune massif: a good breath of sea air in store.

This route starts at Tronoën Chapel, known as the ‘Cathedral of the Dunes’, and its superb calvary, leading into the surrounding countryside rich in sights such as Saint-Budoc Chapel in the former parish of Beuzeg-Cap-Caval and its fountain. Along the route, you’ll pass by menhirs and steles and walk along the seashore facing the open sea of Audierne Bay.

This semi-urban route begins with a visit to the Jardin des Camélias, which has been recently renovated but is little known despite its location in the heart of the town. It continues with a tour of the main monuments of Pont-l'Abbé before heading out into the countryside on the outskirts of Tréméoc and returning to the starting point via a greenway and the banks of the Pont-l'Abbé river.

Pont-l’Abbé station was a major railway junction for three railway lines. The main line, linking Quimper to Pont-l’Abbé, closed in 1988 (freight). In 1907, the Pont-l’Abbé–Saint-Guénolé line opened to link the ports of the Bigouden region. This train, known as the ‘Train Birinik (bernique)’, mainly carried fish and shellfish. It was also widely used by locals to get around, travelling at a speed of 20 km/h. The line closed in 1963. Finally, the line from Audierne, opened in 1912, was known as the “carrot train” as it was mainly used to transport vegetables. It was also used by passengers. Its existence was short-lived, as it closed in 1935. This walk follows sections of these tracks

Circuit in the Tréguennec marsh with the sound of the waves of Audierne Bay in the background. On the route, there are two beautiful isolated chapels: Saint-Vio and Saint-Évy.

This route combines two shortPR® routes by linking them together: the Kergonda route, which follows part of the old railway line known as the "Carrot Train", and the Kermorvan route, which winds through the countryside along wide, often stony farm tracks and ends at the Raphalen botanical garden. The link between these two routes allows you to discover the village of Plonéour-Lanvern, dominated by the imposing bell tower of Saint-Éneour Church (19th century).

This is an easy walk around the reservoir, which supplies drinking water to eleven municipalities in the Pont-l'Abbé region. You can enjoy the peaceful, shaded surroundings and take the time to watch the birds that frequent this stretch of water: coots, gulls, grebes and a small colony of swans.

From the 13th-century Notre-Dame de Languivoa Chapel – whose troubled history led to it being abandoned for a very long time, and whose restoration was completed in 2017 – this route leads to the Moulin Neuf lake, created as a drinking water reservoir for much of the region. Along the countryside route, you’ll pass the Manoir de Lestremec (1643), which has been beautifully restored by its new owners, and come close to a solitary menhir.

The Languivoa Chapel was built in the 13th century and has had an eventful history. The completion of its restoration in 2017, following a long period of neglect, now draws visitors with its architecture and the romanticism of its legend. The route takes you along part of the Moulin Neuf pond. This body of water is fed by a single stream (the Rivière de Pont-l’Abbé). 

A varied, flat route starting from the beautiful Chapelle de la Madeleine with its modern stained-glass windows, the work of the painter Jean Bazaine, passing by two megalithic sites including the remains of a significant alignment of menhirs. The route continues through the dunes near Porzh Karn Beach, a surfer’s paradise, and returns via the Marias de Lescors, managed by the Conservatoire du Littoral.Sea and countryside with some wonderful heritage discoveries.
