Trélivan walks

This route will take you through the countryside along lovely paths and tracks with very little tarmac. The stretch through the hamlet of Le Férulais is sure to make an impression. After skirting the Étang du Val and following some very pretty little paths through the woods, you’ll reach the village of Trélivan at the Val Drouet park, where old houses and a small pond lend it an undeniable charm.

The route takes you through the old town of Dinan and past several points of interest, then down into the Rance valley. It passes through Léhon, a picturesque little village, and ends along the Rance and the port of Dinan. For the tour of the walls, see the map on the Dinan Agglo website (see practical information). The journey time does not include breaks and stops for visits or sightseeing!

A town of art and history, Dinan is a place of great beauty. Its historic centre takes us back to the Middle Ages and from the top of its ramparts, visitors can look out over the Rance valley and the road viaduct which, with its 10 arches and 50-metre height, spans the Rance. To this, we must add a stroll through the magnificent town centre of Léhon and finally a romantic walk along the Rance.

A long hike for experienced walkers, from Lehon (Côtes-d'Armor), starting at the old Saint-Magloire Abbey (founded in the 9th century) to Saint-Pern (Ille-et-Vilaine), the mother house of the Little Sisters of the Poor. A page of history and religious life waiting to be discovered.

Loop around Dinan between Rance and Pays du Poudouvre via the Écluse du Châtelier to La Moinerie in the commune of Plouër-sur-Rance.

Wind your way along the banks of the Rance, stopping off at the Abbaye Sainte-Magloire-de-Léhon to visit the fortified heights and historic heart of Dinan.

This walk allows you to explore the typical villages of the Pays des Faluns along stony paths. The towpath of the Ille and Rance Canal will take you past its lock-keeper’s houses and lead you to the old watermills on the River Rance.

First, enjoy a breathtaking view of the Dinan viaduct with two passages under the arches, then stroll along the canalised Rance to reach the village of Tressaint and its woods. This route offers peace and serenity, even though it is very close to a popular tourist destination.

The first part of the route is very interesting, passing through the Montafilan valley (although some sections are overgrown with ferns, so it is sometimes better to go round via the adjacent fields), an old wash house and a14th-century manor house. The second part, after the Montafilan Valley, follows rather long dirt tracks before returning to the centre of Plélan-le-Petit.

There are quite a few crosses and granite buildings along this route , which takes you along small roads, sunken lanes and paths through the woods. No particular difficulty.

From the village of Saint-Samson, make your way to the Rance at Le Petit Lyvet via the Voie Verte and the Gallo-Roman track. Take a short detour to the menhir known as ‘La Pierre Longue’: standing 8.5 metres tall, it has stood there since 2,500 to 3,000 years before our era.

Starting from the town hall in Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, set off to explore the Menhir de la Pierre Longue, a testament to the town’s rich history . Your route will then take you through the countryside and woodland, in a peaceful, unspoilt setting. As you walk, you’ll cross the Ruisseaude Coutances before reaching the Étangde Coutances, a true haven of tranquillity in the heart of nature. The route then continues round the village, offering a different perspective on Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, before returning to the starting point. This walk allows you to discover the area’s heritage, nature and rural landscapesas you make your way along the paths .

From the village of Saint-Samson-sur-Rance, set off to explore the Menhir de la Pierre Longue (car park at 48.49315 N, 2.01793 W) for a varied route through the countryside and along the banks of the Rance – first the river and then the sea. Walk through the Saint-Samson countryside and its granite hamlets, then follow the River Rance to admire the old fishing huts, the Lessard Bridge, a riverside forest and an oak plantation. A route rich in scenery and heritage, ideal for a nature walk in Brittany.

This easy route takes you on a journey of discovery through the Pays des Faluns, combining the Greenway, local heritage and landscapes shaped by the ancient Faluns Sea. The route offers a pleasant and accessible walk, ideal for a family outing.

A lovely walk along the banks of the Rance and through the beautiful Bois de Rochel forest. This walk combines various routes suggested by Plouër-sur-Rance Town Hall. It begins as a blue trail along the banks of the Rance, where the landscapes and views change with every tide. After passing through hamlets with traditional stone houses, it continues as a green trail through the forest, where beech and chestnut trees over 25 metres tall never fail to impress and where sunken paths await the walker. Take care in winter, as some sections may be damp. But in summer, don’t hesitate – with its open, airy and shaded route, it offers a chance to enjoy a pleasant coolness in the heart of nature.
