Morbihan
If you are on holiday in Mobihan, the
following selection will provide you with varied walks in the
area.

From the attractive market town of
Le Faouët, follow the 12km Circuit des Chapelles,
including the exceptional setting of Chapelle Ste-Barbe and
that of Saint Fiacre.
2) Ploermël
For a historic town walk, Ploermël is
a good choice. The Tourist Office has details of a 7km route,
and there is also a shorter hydrangea trail (over 250
varieties) by the lake.
3) Gulf of Morbihan
For good views of the Gulf of Morbihan,
walk from Arradon past the Chapelle Ste-Barbe to the Tour
Vincent and then continue west around the Pointe
d’Arradon and to the Moulin de Paluden before returning
to the town.
4) Valley of the Oust
A 6km circuit in the valley of the Oust
begins from the parking area on the D14 north of Peillac. This
is an easy walk along the Nantes/Brest canal and through
woodland and marshes.
5) Valley of the river Sedon
Guéhenno (SW of Josselin), with its
famous calvaire, is the starting point for the Circuit des
Moulins, a pleasant 2 hour walk around the valley of the river
Sedon.

For forest walking it would be hard to
beat the Forêt de Quénecan, south of Lac de
Guerlédan. Many trails are available here, and interest
includes the chapel of Ste-Tréphine and its associations
with the legend of Conomor, the Breton Bluebeard.
