GR34 and geocaching in Fouesnant

5 ideas for walks around Fouesnant

What to do during a stay in the South Finistère? We have an idea for you: a hike on the GR34 from the campsite Les Saules. Beautiful walks await you along the coast of Finistère. And if you want to spice up your excursion, let yourself be tempted by geocaching, a life-size treasure hunt.

Beautiful walks at the foot of the campsite

Do you feel the call of nature?
From Vitré to Tour-du-Parc, passing through Saint-Malo, the GR 34 travels 1800 km of Brittany coast.
Explore the Fouesnant Forest and its surroundings with the Douanier’s path, which passes down the campsite and runs along the coast.
4 hiking loops are accessible near the campsite Les Saules:

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 the campsite - Kerleven Beach

Un port de plaisance à Fouesnant rempli de nombreux voiliers amarrés de part et d'autre, sous un ciel bleu parsemé de nuages, offre de pittoresques ballades au bord de l'eau.

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

How about the second loop? This one stretches almost all the way to Concarneau, some 7.7 km. Walk along the South Finistère coast, passing through Anse de Saint-Jean and Anse Saint-Laurent in Concarneau. The trail borders beautiful forests. During the hike, pause from time to time to observe the plants and animals.

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

The third option takes you from harbor to harbor. It starts at the harbor master’s office in the heart of the marina. Then it’s on to Anse de Penfoulic! Magnificent views, particularly of the Pointe de Cap Coz, invite contemplation. You’ll also discover the Penfoulic fishponds, where you can sample some of the seafood on sale directly from the boat.

Departure: Port-la-Forêt Port Captaincy

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

The fourth and final loop near Les Saules campsite: from Cap Coz to Beg Meil. Allow 3 hrs for the 10 km coastline. You’ll pass by Kerveltrec beach, Cap Coz and Lantecost, encounter a semaphore (a building enabling communication between land and sea) and the dune.
