5 ideas for walks around Fouesnant

A person with a backpack walks along the Nevez coastal path, traversing rocky terrain and trees with the ocean in the background on a clear day.

1- Around the Fouesnant Forest (in green) – 11 km

If you take the first loop, the path invites you to go around the Forest-Fouesnant. This walk takes you to the marina of Port-La Forêt, through wooded areas. Open your eyes because historic sites punctuate your walk! Don’t miss Kerleven’s tumular mound, watermill of Chef du Bois and Locamand’s protohistoric stele.

Departure from Camping Les Saules – Plage de Kerleven

A marina in Fouesnant filled with numerous sailboats moored on either side, under a blue sky dotted with clouds, offers picturesque walks along the water's edge.

2- Between the Forest-Fouesnant and Anse Saint Laurent (in purple) – 7.7km

Why not follow the second loop? It extends almost as far as Concarneau, about 7.7 km. Walk along the coast of South Finistère via The Anse of Saint Jean and the Anse Saint-Laurent in Concarneau. The trail borders beautiful forests. During the hike, sit down from time to time to observe plants and animals.

Departure from Les Saules campsite – Plage de Kerleven

3- Walk between the port and Penfoulic Anse (in blue) – 4.4 km

The third option takes you from one port to another. She starts at the captaincy in the heart of the marina. Then head to the Anse de Penfoulic! Beautiful views, especially on the Pointe de Cap Coz, invite contemplation. You can also discover Penfoulic’s fish ponds or enjoy some seafood for a direct sale.

Start: Port-la-Forêt harbour master’s office

4- From Cape Coz to Beg Meil (in yellow) – 10km

The fourth and final loop we offer near the campsite Les Saules: from Cap Coz to Beg Meil. It’s a 3-hour walk for the 10 km of coastline. You will pass near the beach of Kerveltrec, Cap Coz and Lantecost, meet a semaphore (building allowing communication between land and sea) and the state dune.

Start : Bellevue descent
