When you choose a pedestrian hiking journey in Brittany, you are seeking the magic harmony between yourself and the surrounding nature. Awakening all senses, you experience the genuine meanings of preserved sights, that you might never have found in other ways. It's a way to  take your holiday in your own two hands, as suggested  Nicolas Bouvier: “Some think, they make the journey. But in actual fact, it is the journey that makes or undoes you.” Individually, in a couple, with the family or a group of friends, Brittany reveals its beautiful landscapes to whoever follows the way-marked trails all throughout the region. Over thousands of kilometers, trails guide you criss-crossing the country side from abers to rias, forests,  moor- and farmland. Three types of trails are distinguished.
Grande Randonnée (GR) long-distance trails criss-cross Brittany from north to south, east to west, and also follow the coastline. They are ideal for hiking over several days, but as they continue straight, you need to find a way of getting back to the starting point. (Marking: white-red lines)
The most famous one is the “customs trail”, (or GR34), since it goes all the way round Brittany.
Grande Randonnée de Pays (GRP) long distance regional trails are regional circuits that enable hikers to get back to their starting point. (Marking: yellow and red line)
Promenades et Randonnées (PR) short distance trails are open to everyone for circular walks varying in length from one hour to a whole day.(recommended marking: yellow line)
