In, on and around the water, Brittany is the perfect place for water sports.
Around water:
GR34
Walking is the best way to experience Brittany. The GR34, also called the customs path, is a route of 1800 kilometres along the Breton and Norman coast leading from Mont St Michel to St Nazaire. Click here for further information on this route.
Cycle the Tour de Manche and the Velodyssee
These cycle tours are the most famous of Brittany. Together they make 1500 kilometres of cycling paths.
The Breton part of the Tour de Manche leads from Mont St Michel to Roscoff. This is a quiet and safe track with varying landscapes.
The Velodyssee leads from Roscoff to Nantes and Morlais and further to the Monts d’arree.
Cycling along de l’Aulne
Follow the l’Aulne and pass Faou, a pretty place. Discover the remnants of the abbey of Landévénec, the bridge of Térénez, historic villages in the Argol, Tregarvan and Dineault and reach Port Launey where the channel Nantes – Brest ends.
