Surzur walks

Cycling tour on the Rhuys Peninsula, via cycle paths and routes, with virtually no roads. Accessible to all, no technical difficulty. Pass through the woods and marshes to reach the ocean.

A short family walk between former salt marshes, now a bird sanctuary, and the Gulf of Morbihan.

Dog-friendly circular walk to discover the start of Vannes river, at the end of the Gulf of Morbihan. Nice view on the marshes of Séné and some beautiful houses. Part of a birds sanctuary.

A short, easy walk along the south coast of Sarzeau, overlooking the ocean and the tip of "Penvins" ("Pointe de Penvins"). Extensive views out to sea, with the islands of Belle-Île, Houat and Hoedic to the east.

Finally! After years of land negotiations, the elected representatives of Muzillac have succeeded in bringing to fruition a project that has been in the works for over a decade: a footpath that goes all the way around the Étang de Pen Mur. This long stretch of water, held back by the Moulin de Pen Mur dam, occupies the bottom of the valley where the Ruisseau de Saint-Éloi once flowed. It is now possible to walk along the lake to the Chapelle du Moustéro chapel and return via the other bank. Although the eastern bank is less wooded than its counterpart, the entire route runs under the canopy of trees that line the banks of the lake. And the icing on the cake is that the improvements made, which are fairly minor and will soon be invisible, have preserved natural sections and stairways that prevent motorised vehicles and even mountain bikes from using the path. Walkers, grab your walking sticks!

Suscinio Castle stands near the sea and on the edge of an area of ponds and marshes. Before visiting this superb fortified castle, this hike offers a route along the coast and then inland. Several variations are possible.

A pretty walk between the countryside and the seaside. The Pointe de Penn Lann stands guard over the Vilaine Estuary.

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

This route takes you around the entire Île d'Arz, passing by various headlands offering very different views.A stop in the village offers a view of the old priory and church.

Loop around the picturesque island "Ile-d'Arz" in the middle of the gulf "Golfe of Morbihan". On this walk, you'll discover a tide mill, beautiful beaches and sumptuous views over the gulf, all in a wild and well-preserved setting.

The old town of Vannes is full of reminders of its dense population in the Middle Ages, which you can discover on this short walk. In addition to numerous half-timbered houses, you can admire the old ramparts and the Tour du Connétable, Saint-Pierre Cathedral and the more recent Saint-Patern Church, beautiful gardens, and more. At the start and end of the walk, the Port of Vannes and its pleasure boats add a maritime touch to this urban route.

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.

A beautiful walk from which you'll get to discover in the distance the island of Conleau, the port "Port Anna" and the entrance to the Vannes river. The inland section reveals some beautiful residences. ⚠️Check tide times and coefficients.

The Pointe du Halguen marks the southern limit of the Vilaine estuary. This promontory overlooking the ocean is also the northern end of the ochre cliffs that line the ocean front of Pénestin. A lovely walk is available around the village of Haut Pénestin, where long stretches of sandy beach precede secluded coves and abandoned salt marshes.

This hike starts at the car park of the Mine d’Or beach, along the coast north to Haut-Pénestin, to return by internal paths to reach the sea at Maresclé beach and then the starting point.

Pénestin is just a stone's throw away from being an island. Although its ocean side faces the Atlantic, it is only connected to the hinterland by a strip of land wedged between two marshes. The suggested route takes you through the southern part of the area, formerly known as Larmor, between the Pont Mahé marshes and the cliffs of Lanchale and Le Bile.
