We are not inviting you to hike towards Tonquédec Castle, which was dismantled around 1626 on the orders of Richelieu and is situated to the north-west of the village of the same name, but rather to the south-east of this village. There we will find the Guindy, a river dear to the people of Trégor, as well as green sunken paths in lush countryside.

Departure from Lannion (Côtes-d'Armor)
Downstream from Lannion, the Léguer is fed by several streams: the Porz al Lan, the Kerlouzouen and the Pontol. After following the Léguer, we invite you to explore these streams, which are part of the charm of this region. All that remains is to let your imagination take you back in time to when the various mills along the banks were still in operation, washing flax and hemp and, in some cases, grinding wheat.

Departure from Lannion (Côtes-d'Armor)
Whilst the level of the Léguer, as it flows through Lannion, is influenced by the tides, further upstream, thanks to several retaining walls, the flow is much more steady. Moreover, the entire area is protected as it serves as a water catchment area for the region.
This route therefore offers an exploration of this coastal river, upstream of Lannion, with a return journey through the surrounding hills.

At high tide, the Léguer reaches its maximum level. The landscape is then truly beautiful, provided the sun is shining. The green of the trees is reflected among the boats on the blue water.
At low tide, the landscape is different and the bottom of the Léguer, which is sometimes muddy, gives this coastal river a different appearance.
