My Tro Breizh®

You leave Plouaret via the valley of the Saint-Ethurien, a tributary of the Léguer, where the lucky ones may find Amethyst crystals. As you reach the heights of the Léguer valley, you’ll notice the Kervinihy Beech, a particularly majestic tree that was once used as a bitter. Shortly afterwards, your walk will take you to the surprising Chapelle des Sept-Saints, dedicated to the cult of the Seven Sleeping Saints of Ephesus and built over a dolmen transformed into a crypt. Today, it is still a meeting place for Christian and Muslim religions. Walk on to the green valley of the Léguer, classified as a wild river, where you’ll find the Keranraix mill, a peaceful riverside haven ideal for a stopover during your hike.

Through the Poulloguer valley, whose ancient mills bear witness to the activities that once took place here, you walk down to the Jaudy valley and take the path that follows its course to reach La-Roche-Derrien, classified as a “Petite Cité de Caractère”. Here again, ancient mills line the river. Some of them were used to dye flax, the heart of the local economy less than a century ago. La Roche Derrien was a hub of this industry, with its sheltered port. This charming town hides many treasures, such as the Calvaire chapel, which dominates the entire valley, offering a magnificent panorama. Joining the Guindy valley, a series of small footpaths lead you to the picturesque hamlet of Le Guindy, where you can stay in a B&B, hotel or farm campsite.
