Nature walks

Take your time. Take the air. Escape for a few hours or a whole day and journey to the edge of the world. Walk through the moorlands and on the coastal paths, with 180-degree sea views.  Cycle through a legendary forest with the wind in your hair, enjoying the fresh air. Get a taste of adventure on a mountain-bike or a surfboard. Breathe it all in: on the coast or in the countryside, Brittany offers a real taste of freedom. Come and enjoy it!

The most beautiful areas to explore

Wander along the trails through unspoiled natural surroundings. Go with the flow on a stand-up paddle-board or in a boat or canoe. Walk, cycle or ride along greenways and footpaths. From Mont-Saint-Michel Bay to the Briere Natural Park, from the Broceliande forest to the Crozon Peninsula, explore Brittany’s loveliest scenery.
