The must-havesStep 1
From Plouaret to Keranraix
In the valley of the Saint-Ethurien, a tributary of the Léguer, the lucky ones may find amethyst crystals. Walking along the heights of the Léguer valley, you’ll notice the particularly majestic Kervinihy Beech, which would once have served as a bitter. Before reaching the Léguer valley, your steps will lead you to the surprising Chapelle des Sept-Saints, dedicated to the cult of the Seven Sleeping Saints of Ephesus and built on a dolmen transformed into a crypt. Today, it is still a meeting place for Christian and Muslim religions. As you make your way through the forest on the banks of the Léguer, you’ll reach Keranraix, where you’ll spend the night.

Step 2
From Keranraix to Lannion
In the heart of the Léguer valley, a remarkable natural site classified as a wild river, you’ll also discover a particularly rich built heritage. After walking to the Saint-Fiacre chapel, built high above the river, step out of the valley to discover the Château de Kergrist and its sumptuous gardens. You then follow the river’s edge to reach the majestic medieval defensive castle of Tonquédec perched on its promontory. Following the course of the Léguer, you finally arrive in Lannion, Cités d’Arts et d’Histoire, where the bravest will climb to the top of the Brélévenez staircase.
Step 3
From Lannion to Saint-Michel-En-Grève
For the next stage of your tour, you leave Lannion for the Yaudet site, marked by traces of human presence dating back thousands of years. Admire the Notre-Dame du Yaudet chapel and admire the view of the mouth of the Léguer from the “pierre plate”. Following the GR34, you’ll come to the pointe du Dourven, which juts out into the Bay of Lannion, offering a dazzling panorama of Trébeurden and Ile Miliau. To round off this stage, the cliffs of Trédrez and the coastal path offer an even different backdrop, taking you all the way to the Lieu de Grève.

Step 4
From Saint Michel en Grève to Plouaret
After some seascapes and panoramic views of the Lieu de Grève, you’re back on the inland paths between countryside and rivers. Along the way, you’ll discover the Saint-Mélar chapel, perched 117 m above sea level and offering a view of the bay, before taking a footpath along the Roscoat to reach Lanvellec and its rich heritage. First the Saint-Laudez chapel, then the Saint-Brandan church and its remarkable organ, and finally the Saint-Goulven chapel in a small haven of peace. Just a stone’s throw away, you’ll also find the Château de Rosanbo and its remarkable gardens.
