Too many people walk their dogs without keeping them on a lead, so it's best to avoid this path on Saturdays and Sundays! Fortunately, some parts of the trail remain dog-free.

A wonderful discovery, suitable for children and older people alike, with flat terrain. Bear in mind that when the weather is nice, on Wednesdays and Sundays it can get very busy. You can leave the route and head towards the boat graveyard, going up towards Le Blavet. A real change of scenery. We came from Vannes and the outskirts of Lorient, and this route takes no more than 45 minutes to complete. So, at less than an hour away, it's worth a visit even if you're coming from southern Morbihan. You can also continue on to visit the fort on the right, at the end of the central path around the marsh (left towards Le Blavet, right towards the fort). Enjoy your walk, everyone. Yves

Nice route, but the wildest part was closed off to protect the nests near the path during lockdown. Still, it's a pleasant little hike to do with the family.

A very pleasant route for a Sunday stroll.
Be sure to bring binoculars so you can watch the birds.

A short route that is ideal for a stroll rather than a hike. However, you need to choose the right season if you want to see birds. Two brand new observation points will be useful at the right time of year. There are few parking spaces (4 max) at the start, so choose to park near Pen Mané Fort.

• It's not easy to park near the official start point, so it's better to use the car park near stage 2.
• This route is easy to do with children (I did it with my 4-year-old daughter).

Ideal for exploring Lorient via the Blavet! The observatories are currently being restored and some information on bird species will be installed along the route.

Hi,

It's true that the path isn't as nice as when you have a view of the marsh, but... I had to get back to my car.

When I was there, a new observation point was under construction along the path (point 4).

Thank you, Ptifrom
Yes, nature quickly reclaim its territory. But does that mean the author's work should be judged so harshly?

Hello
the route between points 3 and the finish line is uninteresting, as you have to cross a jungle of tall grass that blocks your view!
