Discover the Pink Granite Coast

The Poulloguer pond and mill

Discovery of the site of the Poulloguer pond and the mill it once fed. The mill was built in 1701 and has now been restored as a gite. For fishing enthusiasts, you’ll also find carp, roach and pike.

Walk around the Poulloguer

As you make your way along this short family trail, you’ll discover wetlands, woodland, the Trégorrois bocage and the built heritage by the pond. Many inhabitants hide in these places…

Tonquédec

8km “castles, woods and chapels” walk. In the heart of the Léguer valley, you’ll enjoy the peace and quiet of the undergrowth, which hides the medieval castle of Tonquédec, the castle of Kergrist and its remarkable gardens, as well as the small chapel of Kerivoalan and its miraculous fountain.
