Description of the walk

Departure from Siradan cemetery.

(S/E) Go around the cemetery and take the path heading south. Continue straight ahead.

(1) When the path turns left and splits in two, stay on the right-hand side which goes uphill.

(2) At the next intersection, turn right again onto the path that climbs (do not take the path crossed by a stream that leads to Saléchan). Continue to the Y-shaped intersection.

(3) Turn left at the hairpin bend, still going uphill.

(4) At elevation 688, follow the path to the right, which is now flatter. Continue straight ahead to the Thèbe cemetery (this route could have been called "from one cemetery to another").

(5) At the cemetery, turn right onto the path heading northeast towards Siradan. Further on, the path is flat and then slopes slightly downwards.

(6) It ends at a street called "Chemin de la Carraou", which leads straight downhill and takes us back to our starting point at the Siradan cemetery (S/E).

Notes

If you haven't thought to bring water, you can usually find some in cemeteries.
The cemetery in Thèbe (5) halfway along the route will quench your thirst.
The return journey may be wet after a storm, so make sure you wear suitable footwear.

Worth a visit

Be discreet, as it is not uncommon to encounter deer, much to your delight.

An accessible and pleasant walk, but sometimes poorly signposted, which leads to mistakes and uncertainty. It deserves to be better signposted and marked!

This hike deserves to be very well marked and explained much better! It's easy to get lost in the Ys in the middle of the forest! At the end of the route, why not note: follow to the RIGHT and NOT straight ahead down "the Carraou path which takes us back to the starting point"... Sometimes the path is full of nettles, so it's not very popular.
It's a shame because, surrounded by nature, with paths, trails, woods and pastures, the route is pleasant, and the picnic at the wash house is very nice.

This route is very easy to follow, either with an IGN map or using a GPS app.
If you start this walk mid-morning and have your picnic in your rucksack, once you reach the cemetery in Thèbes, continue 75 metres towards the road to find the old village wash house with a picnic table right opposite! A lovely little spot!

We did the route in two stages because we had trouble finding our way. There were lots of hairpin bends that weren't mentioned, it was difficult to know which direction to take, and there wasn't enough signage...
It would be good to specify in the description that you have to follow the yellow markings (but these need to be redone).
Be careful, there are lots of trees across the path following recent storms, but the path is still passable.
Apart from the orientation difficulties, it's a very beautiful walk, definitely worth doing again in good weather.

A very pleasant little walk! While recovering, she treated us to greenery, the scents of late summer and friendly encounters with the parish specific to Brittany, warm locals.

It's fine, we redid the route, turning right before the cemetery. We're coming back via the top of Siradan. The route is shorter, but much more pleasant, I can confirm. So I'm revising my initial opinion: this is a very enjoyable and varied walk!!! Highly recommended.

Hello,
On the way back, do not take the main road, but a small path that leads back to the village of Siradan.
The junction for this small road is in front of the cemetery entrance, before the main road.

Enjoy your walk.

While the first third of the hike confirms its appeal (marked trail through the woods, chestnut trees galore), once you descend to Thèbe, the trail gives way to a gravel road, then an asphalt road. Once you pass the Thèbe cemetery, the return to Siradan is solely on the fairly busy district road. Safety rules must therefore be observed. Ultimately, the feeling is mixed. The very good impression at the start of the walk does not outweigh the overall assessment.

Hello,

The problem is that once the hike had been described and mapped out, I asked for it to be posted online.
I was told that:
Some waypoints on your route are missing from your description in points 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
It then goes on to say:
Add them to the description (WPT symbol in the description formatting bar) or delete them from the map by clicking on the point again.
I therefore made the requested changes and, upon reviewing the corrected route, everything seems to be OK.
I request that it be put back online, but I get the same message.
That's where I am... what should I do?
Where is the bug?
Thanks in advance.
