Vallée du Guindy

This small coastal river, 44 km long, rises to the west of Ménez-Bré in the commune of Louargat. Originally the stream of St Conéry, it became the Guindy as it swelled with the waters of its tributaries, including the streams of Poul Roudour (ar Ru), Kernélégant and Stéren. Destined to join the Léguer, geology decided otherwise, diverting it due east.
Modest in size for much of its course (1 to 2 m wide), the Guindy takes on some consistency around Pluzunet and Tonquédec. The river widens upstream of Langoat.
It joins the English Channel at Tréguier, where it forms a majestic estuary with the Guindy and Bizien rivers.

This is an atypical river in the Côtes d'Armor, with a profile closer to that of Anglo-Saxon rivers. Far from the usual Breton rivers, the river is slow, deep and meanders through the meadows.
You can fish here in all kinds of ways, with toc, fly or cast. This river is characterised by a population of beautiful trout.

However, the Guindy valley is still quite wild and far from urbanisation. People often cross the river without realising it, and there are few footpaths along its banks, giving walkers the feeling of being far from the world.

Marked hiking and mountain biking trails.
